What an AI answering service does

An AI answering service picks up when your team cannot: after hours, at lunch, when every line is busy. Vera answers the caller, takes the message in full and flags what is urgent, so nothing waits on voicemail.

Without Vera

  • Missed calls disappear into voicemail dead space
  • Teams lose leads and urgent requests after hours
  • Callback notes are incomplete
  • Urgent cases are not separated from routine ones

With Vera

  • More missed calls become structured follow-up instead of lost intent
  • Urgency gets triaged early
  • Callback workflows become cleaner
  • The business covers more hours without staffing every line

Inside a call with Vera.

Every call Vera takes has one goal: capture the call cleanly and turn it into a usable next action. Here is an example.

  1. Greeting

    Caller Hi, my heating stopped working tonight.

    • Answers inbound calls when no human is available
    • Captures the caller’s reason for contact
  2. Urgency

    Vera I am sorry. The office is closed, but I will flag this as urgent. Your address?

    • Checks urgency and callback need
    • Distinguishes routine from urgent requests
  3. Collect

    Caller Lindenstrasse 14, second floor.

    • Records message details clearly
  4. Offer

    Vera Thanks. A technician will call you back at 7:00 tomorrow.

  5. Log

    The call ends. Vera files the notes.

Vera also routes critical cases when policy allows.

What stays in your control.

What Vera does when a call needs a person, what you can check afterwards, and what every caller is told.

  • A person takes over when it matters

    When a caller asks for someone, or a rule you set says so, Vera puts the call through to your team.

  • Your rules, your words

    Vera answers from the knowledge base and instructions you give it. You decide what it may say, offer and agree to.

  • Every call on record

    Each call is logged with its transcript in your dashboard. Recording stays off until you switch it on.

  • Callers know it is an AI

    Every call opens by telling the caller they are speaking with an AI, as Article 50 of the EU AI Act requires.

  • Built for GDPR, hosted in the EU

    Servers in Germany and EU Azure regions. Your calls are not used to train AI models, and any transfer outside the EU is documented.

  • Delete or export at any time

    Delete single records or the whole account, and export your data in a machine-readable format.

Questions about Vera, the AI answering service

What is an AI answering service?

An AI answering service is an AI employee that picks up your business line when your team cannot: after hours, at lunch or when every line is busy. It speaks with the caller in natural speech, asks why they are calling, checks how urgent it is and takes a complete message with callback details. Unlike an answering machine, which only records, it asks questions and passes urgent calls on by the rules you set.

Can it handle missed and after-hours calls?

Yes. Auto-Answerer Agent is built specifically to turn missed or after-hours calls into structured next actions instead of lost opportunities or dead voicemail.

Can it capture callback details automatically?

Yes. The role can capture identity, callback preference, reason for contact, and urgency so the team knows what to do next.

Can it detect urgent situations?

Yes. It can distinguish routine requests from urgent ones according to the configured triage logic and policy.

What happens with critical or emergency-like requests?

The role can trigger the approved escalation path when the situation fits the business rules for urgent handling.

Does it support multiple languages?

Yes. Auto-Answerer Agent can support multilingual message capture and triage, which helps businesses maintain better coverage across caller groups.

How is an AI answering service different from voicemail or a human answering service?

Voicemail only records what the caller chooses to say. An AI answering service holds a conversation: it captures the reason for the call, separates urgent from routine requests and logs a structured message for your team. Compared with a human answering service, it answers several calls at once, at any hour, and follows the wording and rules you give it. Every caller is told they are speaking with an AI.

How much does an AI answering service cost?

The AI answering service is billed per minute of calls. Starter costs €49 a month and includes €50 of call credit at €0.15 per phone minute. Pro costs €99 a month at €0.14 per minute and Business €249 at €0.13 per minute. The whole subscription becomes call credit, there is no platform fee and monthly plans can be cancelled any time.

Can I keep my number and forward calls only after hours or when the line is busy?

You keep your number. Calls reach Vera through call forwarding, which you set with your phone provider: always, only when nobody picks up, or only when the line is busy. Forwarding outside opening hours can be scheduled on a cloud phone system or router, or switched on in the evening and off in the morning. A SIP trunk is the alternative for phone systems.

How do I get the messages an AI answering service takes?

Every call Vera takes is logged in your dashboard with its transcript and the call notes: caller name, phone number, reason for the call, urgency and preferred callback time. Messages can also reach your team by email, and other systems can receive them through webhooks or the REST API.

How many calls can an AI answering service answer at once?

The AI answering service answers several calls at the same time, so a second caller does not hear a busy tone. The limit depends on the plan: 2 simultaneous calls on Starter, 4 on Pro and 6 on Business. Enterprise capacity is agreed individually.
