How to Set Up an AI Receptionist in 5 Minutes (Step-by-Step)

You don't need a developer. You don't need IT. You don't need a 3-week onboarding process. You need 5 minutes and your business info.

Step 1: Sign Up

Create your account with email or Google. Takes 30 seconds.

Step 2: Add Your Business Info

Tell the AI what your business does. This includes:
• Business name and hours
• Services you offer (treatments, practice areas, job types)
• FAQ answers (insurance, pricing, preparation, etc.)
• Your tone and greeting preferences

The AI uses this to answer calls knowledgeably. Think of it as training a receptionist — except it takes minutes instead of weeks.

Step 3: Connect Your Calendar

Link your Google Calendar. The AI will check availability in real-time and book appointments during calls. No double-bookings. No phone tag.

Step 4: Choose Your Phone Number

Pick a local number, toll-free number, or forward your existing number. Callers dial your regular line — the AI answers when you can't (or always, if you prefer).

Step 5: Test It

Call your own number. Hear the AI greet you, ask about your needs, and walk through the same experience your callers will have. Adjust the tone, greeting, or info as needed.

That's it. Five steps. Five minutes. Your AI receptionist is live and answering calls 24/7.

The #1 fear business owners have about AI is "this is too technical for me." It's not. If you can fill out a contact form, you can set up an AI receptionist.
