A
It answers.
Vapi.ai
First ring, 24/7, in a natural voice. No hold music, no voicemail, no 'please call back during office hours'.
AI Voice Reception — South Africa
Every missed call is a customer calling someone else.
An AI receptionist that answers on the first ring, day or night, qualifies the caller, handles the common questions, and books the meeting straight into your calendar. Built on Vapi telephony, with the reasoning, prompt architecture, and integrations written from scratch.
01 / THE PROBLEM
Where the calls go missing.
No invented statistics — just the three ways it actually happens.
After-hours calls go to voicemail
Voicemail is where enquiries go to die
Calls missed while you're already on another line
One phone, one person, one caller at a time
The caller who rings the next business on the list
They needed someone now — someone answered
02 / HOW IT WORKS
Answer, qualify, book.
Vapi handles the telephony. Everything it says and decides is written in code, for your business, from scratch.
B
It qualifies.
Claude API
Asks your questions, captures name, number, and what they need. Tyre-kickers and genuine jobs get separated before they reach you.
C
It handles objections.
Claude APIprompt architecture
Pricing ranges, service areas, availability — whatever you brief it on, it answers from. The reasoning layer is written in code, from scratch, for your business.
D
It books.
Cal.comwebhooksCRM sync
Writes the meeting straight into your calendar and logs the call to your CRM. You wake up to a booked day, not a list of missed calls.
03 / WHAT IT IS NOT
Plainly, the limits.
It is not a phone tree or an IVR menu — nobody presses 1 for sales. It does not pretend to be human, and it says so if asked. It hands off to a real person when it should. And you get a recording and transcript of every call.
04 / PRICING
What it costs.
R20,000
Setup — built, tested, and live
R5,000/mo
Includes up to 500 call minutes — extra billed at cost
A junior receptionist costs R8,000 to R12,000 a month, works 40 hours a week, takes leave, and does not answer at 2am.
Final scope determines the setup price. The scoping call is free.

06 / START HERE
Tell me which calls you're missing.
I'll tell you on the call whether an AI receptionist is worth the spend for your business. That answer is free either way.
Or just book the call.
Thirty minutes, no pitch deck. If a voice agent isn't the right spend for you right now, I'll say so.
