FAQ’s

What is IntelliCalls?

IntelliCalls is a 24/7 AI-powered phone answering service that answers calls, schedules appointments, captures lead details, and sends instant summaries to your email or CRM. It costs far less than human receptionists and doesn’t miss calls, take breaks, have an attitude or require contracts.

How is IntelliCalls different from Smith.ai?

Smith.ai combines AI with human receptionists, which makes it more expensive and slower. IntelliCalls is fully AI-powered, so it answers instantly, sends real-time summaries, and starts at $249/month instead of $600+ like Smith.ai. You still get professional call handling, CRM integration, and no long-term contracts.

Will callers know it’s AI?

Most callers don’t notice. IntelliCalls uses natural voice tones and follows your custom greeting and script. It can ask questions, collect information, schedule appointments, and send you a full call summary. Try our Demo for a full experience.

Why choose IntelliCalls instead of Ruby or AnswerConnect?

Ruby and AnswerConnect use human agents and cost 2–3× more because of labor. IntelliCalls uses AI, so every call is answered immediately, summarized, and sent to you without paying per minute or waiting on hold. It’s more affordable, faster, and available 24/7.

How are minutes counted?

Inbound talk time rounded to the nearest 60 seconds. Summaries and texts are included..

Can you transfer calls to my team?
