Common questions

Before you book the call.

What's the realistic timeline for AI receptionist with a Taupō? +

Most Taupō businesses have their first usable slice in week 5 or 6. We'd rather ship narrow and real than broad and aspirational – your team gets to use the thing well before the engagement is "done".

Is AI receptionist worth it for a smaller Taupō? +

Often, yes – and counterintuitively the ROI is sometimes faster than for the big end of town because there's less integration overhead. We'll tell you honestly on the scoping call if it isn't.

Anyone else in this space using AI receptionist? +

Plenty. Captures the 30-40% of enquiries that used to go to voicemail. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" – it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.

What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later? +

AI receptionist is built behind a small adapter layer specifically so swapping a model provider or a data source is a one-day job, not a re-architecture. Vapi, Twilio, Claude, Cal.com, Stripe are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.

Twenty minutes, your call.
