GOLD COAST, Australia - TelAve -- BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA , Australian businesses are increasingly exploring artificial intelligence receptionists to reduce missed calls and provide customers with 24/7 telephone support.

Instead of sending customers to voicemail, the AI receptionist can have a conversation with the caller, understand why they are calling and follow a customised workflow. This can include answering questions, capturing leads, making bookings, identifying urgent enquiries and transferring selected calls.

Reducing Missed Calls

For many Australian service businesses, phone calls remain an important source of new customers.

However, answering every call can be difficult. Tradespeople may be working on-site, reception staff may already be assisting customers and smaller businesses may not have employees available after hours.

A potential customer who cannot reach a business may simply call a competitor.

johnni.ai provides another option. The AI phone receptionist can answer immediately, collect relevant information and determine what should happen next.

Working Alongside Existing Staff

Businesses do not need to replace their existing receptionist to introduce AI. Johnni.ai can operate as an after-hours or overflow receptionist, allowing employees to remain the first point of contact.

If staff cannot answer after a predetermined number of rings, the call can automatically be directed to the AI receptionist. The same technology can handle calls when the office is closed.

This creates a hybrid approach combining human customer service with additional AI-powered phone coverage.

More Than Taking Messages

Each johnni.ai receptionist can be customised around the business, including its services, locations, operating hours, common questions and booking requirements.

Different workflows can also be created for different callers. An urgent enquiry can be escalated, a new customer can be qualified and an existing customer can be directed through another process.

Connecting Calls With Business Systems

johnni.ai can integrate its AI phone receptionist with calendars, CRM platforms and business management software.

Information collected during calls can therefore become part of an existing workflow. The AI could create an appointment, capture customer information or generate a follow-up task for staff.

This can reduce the need to manually listen to voicemail messages and re-enter customer information.
