Frequently asked questions

Is an AI receptionist better than a human answering service?

For most SMBs, AlmaTalk answers faster (instantly, 24/7), does more (booking, qualification, follow-ups), and costs less than per-minute human services. Complex edge cases are escalated to your team with full context.

Can ALMATalk qualify leads before sending them to my team?

Yes. The AI asks your qualification questions, tags the caller's intent and urgency, and forwards a summary (with transcript) to the right team member by SMS, email, or the built-in team inbox.
