Three steps.
Not one more.

Setting up your AI phone answering takes five minutes, with no change of number and no extra hardware. Your automated phone answering is live from the very first unanswered ring.

  1. You enable call forwarding

    A single code to dial on your mobile: **61*0972105519*20#. You keep your current phone number, your operator and your contacts. The procedure works on Orange, SFR, Bouygues and Free.

  2. The AI voice agent picks up

    When you don't answer within 20 seconds, the AI agent takes over with the professional voice Claire (or your cloned voice if you prefer). Automatic call qualification, urgency identified, appointment booked into your calendar in real time.

  3. You get the summary

    Detailed email with name, number, address, need and urgency. Immediate SMS if the call is flagged urgent. Full transcript and audio recording in your dashboard. Over to you.

Configured for your trade.

Every sector has its own emergencies, its own questions, its own priorities. We adapt the voicebot to the way you work, not the other way round. Ready-to-use trade templates:

  • Locksmith
  • Car garage
  • Estate agent
  • Dental practice
  • Restaurant
  • After-sales / retail
  • … and any business that misses calls

AI answering for plumbers (emergencies)

Tells an active water leak apart from a water-heater quote. Instant SMS alert on an emergency, scheduled quote otherwise. Address, floor, access code, type of fault: everything is qualified in 90 seconds.

Emergency passed on — 2:32 pm

24/7 AI phone answering for locksmiths

Night on-call handled by the AI, which filters real emergencies (slammed door, break-in) from requests that can wait. You're only alerted when it's worth the trip.

AI answering for electricians

Total outage or a single faulty appliance? Tripped breaker or the meter itself? The AI receptionist asks the right questions and grades the urgency before notifying you.

Phone answering for car garages

Automatic appointment booking by phone: service, roadworthiness test, brakes, tyres. The AI checks your calendar in real time and offers available slots. Simple quotes handled too.

Appointment booked — Thursday 9:00 am

AI answering for dental practices (booking)

First visit, emergency, check-up, scale and polish: the voicebot identifies the reason, then offers the right practitioner and the right slot. Works with practice calendars, internal systems and Google Calendar.

AI voice agent for real estate agencies

Automatic call qualification between buyer, seller, tenant and landlord. Captures budget, area and desired size, then books the viewing or the sales callback.

AI answering for restaurant bookings

Booking, number of covers, allergies, special requests: the automated phone answering captures everything, even in the middle of a rush. Cancellations and changes handled.

AI reception for retail after-sales

The ideal small-business phone answering to absorb after-sales calls: order number, reason, level of urgency. You keep your team focused on the real complaints.

And your trade?

Any professional who takes inbound calls can set up their own AI agent. Solicitor, physiotherapist, vet, hairdresser, beautician, concierge service: the AI adapts to your script.

New · outbound calls

What if the AI called your prospects too?

The same voice engine works the other way round: our AI agents make your B2B prospecting calls. They present your offer, handle objections, qualify interest and book meetings straight into your calendar — every call logged and transcribed. The agent always states that it's an AI, and we never cold-call individuals.

Why choose Accueil IA.

The AI answering market is booming. Not all solutions are equal: here's what concretely sets Accueil IA apart from a generic AI voice agent imported from the United States.

Professional voice or cloned voice

By default, your AI virtual receptionist answers with Claire, a natural professional voice that suits the vast majority of our clients. If you'd like, we can also clone your own voice from 30 seconds of recording for an even more personal experience — it's entirely optional.

AI hosted in France · GDPR-native

No transfer outside the EU. Recordings, transcripts, cloned voice: everything stays on French servers. You keep control of your data and your clients' data.

Tailored trade templates

Plumber, electrician, dentist, garage: each sector has its own script, its qualifying questions and its urgency threshold. The AI phone answering is tuned as closely as possible to your trade.

Automatic appointment booking by phone

The AI voice agent checks your calendar in real time (Google Calendar, Outlook, internal calendar) and blocks the slots. You arrive in the morning with your appointments already booked.

Automatic call qualification

The voicebot tells a real emergency apart from a request that can wait. You're only notified instantly about genuine priorities, not about every single ring.

No change of number

You keep your phone number, your business cards and your Google listings. A simple conditional call forward is all it takes. Live in 5 minutes.

24/7 phone answering

Nights, weekends, public holidays: your small-business phone answering stays operational. You configure the routing schedule: emergencies only at night, normal hours during the day.

Built and supported in France

Accueil IA is made by GoodEv, an independent French studio. Anthony, the founder, takes the pre-sales calls himself. No offshore call centre, no middleman.

Simple plans, with call time included.

Frequently asked questions.

Everything we get asked regularly about AI phone answering, the virtual receptionist, voice cloning and automatic appointment booking.

What exactly is an AI phone answering service?

An AI phone answering service is an automated reception line that uses artificial intelligence to answer calls on the professional's behalf. The AI voice agent understands the request, asks the right questions, books appointments and sends a structured summary. Unlike a plain voicemail, the AI agent holds a real, natural conversation.

How do I forward my calls to Accueil IA?

Dial **61*09XXXXXXXX*20# from your mobile (replace with the SIP number provided). Conditional forwarding kicks in after 20 seconds without an answer. To turn it off, dial ##61#. The procedure works on every French mobile operator.

Will my clients realise it's an AI?

The AI voice agent uses your cloned voice, built from 30 seconds of recording. The conversation is fluid and natural, and most callers can't tell the difference. A standard professional voice is available if you'd rather not clone your own.

How long does a call with the AI agent last?

A typical call lasts between 1 and 3 minutes. The AI receptionist identifies the need, collects the essential details (name, phone, address, urgency) and wraps up politely, without wasting your client's time.

Where is my data and my clients' data hosted?

All data (audio recordings, transcripts, cloned voice, contact details) is stored on servers in France. No transfer outside the EU, no US cloud. AI hosted in France guarantees GDPR compliance that's native by design.

How does voice cloning work?

You record 30 seconds of your voice from the dashboard or over the phone. Our speech synthesis engine trains a faithful model, which the voicebot then uses. The model stays your property and can be deleted on request.

Which trades and professions is this AI receptionist for?

Any professional taking inbound calls: plumbers, heating engineers, electricians, locksmiths, car garages, estate agencies, dental practices, restaurants, shops, after-sales, professionals. Each sector has its own template with the right questions and the right tone.

Do I have to change my phone number?

No, you keep your existing number. You just enable conditional call forwarding for when you don't pick up. Setup takes 5 minutes, with no line change and no extra hardware.

Can the AI agent book appointments automatically?

Yes, automatic appointment booking by phone is one of the key features. The AI checks your calendar in real time (Google Calendar, Outlook, industry calendars), offers slots, confirms with the client and blocks the appointment. Automatic confirmation by email and SMS.

How does the AI tell an emergency from a normal call?

Automatic call qualification is based on sector-specific rules. An active water leak is urgent for a plumber; a slammed door at night is urgent for a locksmith. The AI agent asks the right questions and sends you an immediate SMS on a genuine emergency.

What happens if the AI doesn't understand the caller?

The AI voice agent is trained on real phone conversations: accents, background noise, network drops. If it gets stuck after two polite attempts, it can offer to pass the request on by SMS or transfer the call to a human (configurable mode).

Does the AI phone answering work at night and on weekends?

Yes, the automated phone answering runs 24/7. You set different time ranges: normal hours during the day, emergencies only at night, closed on Sundays. Ideal for trades with an on-call rota.

How much does AI phone answering cost for a tradesperson?

The plans are shown in the Pricing section: 39 €/month with 1 hr 30 of calls included for a self-employed professional, 79 €/month (3 hrs 20 included) for a shop or practice, 149 €/month (6 hrs 40 included) for the highest volumes, and tailored pricing beyond that. Every plan includes its own call time; if you use it all, you add a pack of minutes on demand — nothing automatic. No long commitment, you stay in control of your subscription. Book a 30-minute demo to confirm the plan that fits your case.

What's the difference with a traditional human call-answering service?

A human call-answering service usually costs more, isn't available 24/7 and handles bursts of simultaneous calls poorly. Accueil IA answers instantly, in parallel across several lines, with no waiting time, using the professional's voice. It complements a human more than it replaces one.

How do I receive the call summary?

After every call handled by the AI virtual receptionist, you automatically receive a structured email (name, number, reason, urgency, appointment booked) and an SMS if the call was urgent. Full transcript and audio recording in your dashboard. CSV export or CRM integration possible.
