Voice AI Receptionist · Sharpware 360
The phone rang.
Did anyone answer?
Every missed call is a customer who may call someone else next. A Mandeaux Voice AI Receptionist can answer incoming calls, handle real conversations, collect information, book appointments, route callers, trigger follow-up, and transfer to your team when a human actually needs to step in.
Built around your business, not a generic script.

What is a Voice AI Receptionist?
A Voice AI Receptionist is an AI-powered conversational agent that can answer business calls or speak with website visitors using natural voice.
Depending on how it is configured, the agent can answer questions, collect caller information, qualify inquiries, book appointments, update customer records, trigger follow-up, send messages, transfer callers to a person, or hand the conversation to another specialized AI agent.
Mandeaux Digital designs the Voice AI around the business's actual call flow rather than forcing every company into the same receptionist script.
Don't just talk to our AI. Let her become your receptionist.
Aimee isn't a generic voice bot waiting for random questions. She'll learn a little about your business first, then temporarily step into the role of your AI Receptionist so you can experience the conversation from your customer's side. Tell her what your business does, what customers usually need when they call, and what you'd like those conversations to accomplish. Then she'll show you what that could actually sound like.
Meet Aimee
Artificial Intelligence for Managing Engagement and Efficiency
Friendly. Conversational. Built to demonstrate what Voice AI could feel like inside a real business.
What to expect
Introduce yourself
Aimee will ask for a few basic details so she can personalize the demonstration.
Tell her about your business
Explain what your company does, the products or services you offer, and the kinds of calls your customers make.
Choose the goal
Tell Aimee what you would ideally like to happen during those calls. That might be qualifying a lead, answering common questions, collecting information, handling a service inquiry, helping someone take the next step, or working through an appointment request.
Become the customer
Aimee will switch roles and answer as though she is the receptionist for your business. Now talk to her like one of your customers would.
See where it could go
After the simulation, Aimee will switch back and help you understand the next step if you're interested in exploring Voice AI for your business.
Try it now
Tap the voice control and allow microphone access when prompted. Aimee will guide you from there.
This is a personalized demonstration. Aimee may ask for your name, business name, phone number, and email so she can personalize the experience and support follow-up after the demo. A production Voice AI Receptionist would be separately configured around your actual business knowledge, approved conversation flows, actions, routing, transfers, calendars, and customer journey.
What makes this different?
You're not listening to a prerecorded demo built for somebody else's company. Aimee learns enough about your business to simulate what an AI Receptionist could sound like for you.
Like what you heard?
The demo shows the idea. The real implementation starts with understanding your phone calls, customers, booking process, routing, team, and what you actually want Voice AI to accomplish.
Your customer doesn't know why you missed the call.
Maybe you're helping another customer. Driving. On a job site. In a meeting. Closed for the evening. Understaffed. Or simply away from the phone.
The person calling usually doesn't know any of that. For an Alaska business, missed calls can mean missed opportunities whether the customer is calling from Anchorage, the Mat-Su Valley, Fairbanks, or somewhere outside normal business hours. They only know nobody answered. And if the need is urgent enough, the next call may be to someone else.

Use it on the phone. Use it on the website. Or both.
Let the AI answer incoming calls.
A Voice AI agent can be assigned to a business phone experience and configured to answer incoming calls directly or act as backup when the human team does not answer. For businesses that want to keep an existing public-facing phone number, calls can often be forwarded into the Sharpware 360 phone system so customers can continue dialing the number they already know.
depending on the existing carrier and phone configuration
Let website visitors start a voice conversation.
The same type of Voice AI experience can also live directly on a website, allowing a visitor to speak with the business without dialing a phone number. That can be useful on service pages, landing pages, booking pages, high-intent offers, and support pages. The conversation becomes part of the digital customer journey.
Answering the phone is only the beginning.
- Answer common questions
- Use approved business knowledge
- Handle natural back-and-forth conversation
- Respond when callers change direction
- Name
- Phone
- Reason for calling
- Other relevant information defined by the business
- Offer available appointment times
- Collect required booking information
- Confirm appointments based on configured calendars and availability
- Transfer callers to human team members
- Escalate when human attention is appropriate
- Route based on defined conditions
- Send supported messages
- Trigger workflows
- Start automated follow-up
- Notify team members
- Create or update contact information
- Store useful caller information
- Connect the conversation to the customer record
Capabilities depend on configuration. Not every action is automatically included in every deployment.
One receptionist. Or an entire AI front desk.
Some businesses need one general Voice AI receptionist. Others have calls that are too different to force into one giant conversation flow. Sharpware 360 can support specialized Voice AI agents that hand live conversations between one another based on what the caller actually needs.
A general receptionist can greet the caller and determine intent. If appropriate, the live conversation can move to another AI agent configured specifically for that task. These exact departments are not required; the architecture is customized to the business.
The goal isn't to build one AI that knows everything. It's to build the right conversation flow.
AI shouldn't pretend to be the answer when a person is needed.
Some conversations belong with your team. A caller may request a person. The issue may be too sensitive. The request may fall outside the AI's approved knowledge. The customer may be ready for a high-value sales conversation. The AI can be configured to transfer the call to a human number when defined conditions are met.
- I need to speak with someone.
- High-value sales opportunity
- Escalated support issue
- Emergency or sensitive request
- Situation outside approved AI scope
The AI cannot be assumed to correctly identify every emergency or sensitive situation automatically. Transfer conditions are defined deliberately during configuration.
AI first. Humans first. Or coverage when nobody picks up.
AI First
Voice AI answers incoming routed calls immediately. Useful when the business wants immediate automated coverage, call volume is high, or many calls follow repeatable patterns.
Human First
The human team remains the primary call path. Voice AI can be configured as backup when appropriate. Useful when staff usually answer, the business wants overflow support, or AI should catch calls that otherwise become missed opportunities.
Scheduled Coverage
Voice AI can operate during configured hours. Examples include after hours, weekends, lunch, specific shifts, or all hours where appropriate. The agent can be configured for around-the-clock availability where it makes sense.
The agent can be configured for around-the-clock availability where it makes sense for the business.
A good Voice AI needs more than a clever prompt.
The receptionist needs approved information about the business. Sharpware 360 Voice AI can use connected business knowledge so the agent has more context for answering relevant questions. The AI should have access to approved, configured, connected information, not unrestricted access to all company data.
- Services
- Policies
- Hours
- Locations
- Common questions
- Booking information
- Pricing information where appropriate
- Processes
- Product information
- Approved responses
The AI should know what it's allowed to know. And know when it should stop.
Don't just take a message. Book the next step.
For appointment-driven businesses, Voice AI can be configured to work with available calendars and offer appointment times during the conversation. The caller can potentially move from "I need an appointment" to "You're booked" without waiting for someone to call back. Calendar rules and availability remain controlled by the configured scheduling system.
Appointment booking is not appropriate for every use case. We evaluate whether it fits during configuration.
The call can become part of the customer record.
The biggest difference between an isolated answering tool and a connected business system is what happens after the conversation. Depending on the configuration, Voice AI can help update customer information, trigger workflows, notify team members, initiate follow-up, and connect the interaction to the broader customer journey inside Sharpware 360.
Your call flow shouldn't look like every other business.
A roofer does not receive the same calls as a therapist. A dental office does not receive the same calls as a contractor. A law office does not receive the same calls as a salon.
That is why the first step isn't choosing a voice. It's understanding the business.
- Why are people calling?
- What questions come up repeatedly?
- Which calls should AI handle?
- Which calls require a person?
- What information should be collected?
- Can the caller book?
- Where should leads go?
- What should happen after the call?
- What hours should AI cover?
- Do different call types need different agents?
If a ringing phone can become revenue, the call matters.

E-Commerce / Customer Service
Order or product-related conversations only where the necessary information and integrations are appropriately configured.
The best Voice AI use case is usually a conversation that happens repeatedly and has a clear next step.
Good AI knows what not to handle.
We don't want an AI receptionist improvising its way through every conversation. The agent should have a defined purpose, approved knowledge, clear actions, transfer conditions, escalation rules, and conversation boundaries.
- Sensitive disputes
- Complex negotiations
- Legal decisions
- Medical advice
- Unusual exceptions
- High-stakes customer issues
- Requests outside approved knowledge
The goal isn't to make the AI sound smart. The goal is to make the experience useful.
Before the AI answers your customers, we need to understand them.
Use Case
We identify why customers call and what successful conversations should accomplish.
Call Flow
We map questions, qualification, booking, routing, human transfers, AI transfers, and follow-up.
Knowledge
We organize the approved information the agent needs to answer common questions.
Build
We configure the agent, actions, voice behavior, routing, workflows, calendars, and required Sharpware 360 components.
Test
We test normal conversations, unexpected questions, interruptions, silence, booking, transfers, escalations, call endings, and incorrect or incomplete requests.
Deploy + Improve
We launch the approved call flow and refine it based on real conversation behavior and business needs.
We don't promise perfection at launch. The system is refined based on real conversation behavior and business needs.
You've read about it. Now talk to it.
We don't price Voice AI before we understand what it has to do.
A general after-hours receptionist and a multi-agent call system with booking, specialized routing, human transfers, workflows, and multiple business locations are not the same implementation. We first need to understand the use case, then we can recommend the right setup.
- Call volume
- Call types
- Routing
- Hours
- Knowledge
- Actions
- Calendars
- Workflows
- Integrations
- Number configuration
- Number of agents
- Ongoing management
