MIAMI - TelAve -- SurFox AI (getsurfox.com), the AI platform that texts, chats with, and calls inbound leads, launched Voice AI on September 24. SurFox AI now answers inbound lead calls, qualifies the caller, handles objections, and books the appointment while the caller is still on the line. Voice AI joins SurFox AI's SMS and website chat, so a business can respond to a new lead by text, chat, or phone from one platform.

The launch comes as AI assistants start contacting businesses on their users' behalf. Google's AI already calls local businesses to check pricing and availability, and in May 2026 Google expanded that calling to home repair, beauty, pet care, and auto repair. Meta has also begun testing assistant-placed calls to businesses. For a business, a missed call can now mean a lost booking, because an assistant working through a list has little reason to wait for a callback.

SurFox AI builds each business's talk track, qualifying questions, and objection handling, 100% customized to that business. The same talk track runs across SMS, website chat, and Voice AI. When a caller is ready to book, SurFox AI checks the business's Google or Outlook calendar, books the slot, and emails a calendar invite. On the Growth plan and up, SurFox AI learns which messages lead to bookings and leans into them.

"Every missed call is a booking that goes to somebody else, and now some of those calls come from AI assistants that won't wait for a callback," said Tom Bauer, founder and CEO of SurFox AI. "Voice AI picks up on the first ring, qualifies the caller, and books the appointment on the spot, with the same talk track SurFox AI already runs for that business by text and chat."
