How to work with Rachel - the AI Receptionist?

Rachel is your AI-powered receptionist — always on, always polite, and always ready to help.

Written by Ulric Musset

Once you onboard her, you’ll receive a dedicated phone number (available in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and Mexico) you can use anywhere:

  • On your email signature

  • On your Google Business Profile

  • On your website or contact page

When someone calls that number, Rachel answers — instantly.

💼 What Can Rachel Do?

Rachel is trained to handle the core tasks of a professional receptionist:

  2. Transfer Calls
    If a call is urgent or needs your attention, Rachel can transfer the caller to your phone in real-time.

  3. Book Appointments
    Rachel can access your connected calendar and schedule appointments without sending the caller to a clunky scheduling link.


📬 After Each Call

Once a call ends, Rachel automatically sends you a summary of the conversation.
Want more context? You can also chat with Rachel to review what was said and why.
