AI-Connect by Phone.com is an AI-powered virtual receptionist that helps businesses answer every call, serve customers and capture opportunities around the clock. Integrated directly into the Phone.com business communications platform, AI-Connect uses conversational AI to greet callers, screen unwanted calls, route customers to the appropriate person or department, take messages and manage appointments. Its Google and Outlook calendar integrations allow callers to schedule, reschedule or cancel appointments without staff assistance. AI-Connect gives small businesses access to sophisticated, always-on call management without the cost and complexity of a traditional call center. Learn more about AI-Connect.
“We’re honored to have AI-Connect recognized with a Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award,” said Ari Rabban, CEO of Phone.com. “Small businesses cannot afford to let an important call go unanswered, but many lack the resources to staff a traditional contact center. AI-Connect gives them an intelligent, always-available receptionist that can engage callers, route calls and manage appointments while allowing their teams to focus on serving customers and growing the business. This award affirms our commitment to making advanced communications technology practical and accessible for businesses of every size.”
