A virtual receptionist is a remote service — staffed by people, AI, or both — that answers your business calls, greets callers, and handles or routes them on your behalf. It replaces the need for an in-house front desk.
Virtual receptionists let a small business present a professional, always-answered phone line without hiring full-time staff. They can take messages, book appointments, screen callers, and pass along the important details so the owner stays focused on the work.
An AI virtual receptionist like handlo does this automatically and instantly, with no queue and no shift gaps. It answers 24/7, qualifies each caller, and texts you a tidy summary — for a flat fee from $49/mo rather than the per-minute or per-call rates many live services charge.
An AI receptionist is software that answers your business phone, holds a natural conversation with the caller, captures what they need, and sends you the details. It works around the clock without breaks, hold music, or a per-minute meter.
An answering service is a service that answers your business calls when you’re unavailable, taking messages, booking appointments, or routing urgent matters to the right person. It ensures callers always reach a response instead of a dead line.
Call screening is the practice of identifying who is calling and why before deciding whether to connect, take a message, or route the call. It filters out interruptions so you only pick up the calls worth your time.
