Auto-Answerer
The Auto-Answerer takes messages and handles after-hours calls so no caller ever reaches a dead voicemail box. Its goal is to capture the call cleanly and turn it into a usable next action, whether that means booking an appointment, flagging urgency, or logging a callback request.

Key Benefits
No More Lost Voicemail Callers
Instead of a voicemail box that callers hang up on, every call becomes a full AI conversation that captures what the caller needs.
After-Hours Booking Capability
Appointments can be booked at any hour, so you capture business that would otherwise wait until morning — or never come back.
Urgency Detection and Routing
The agent checks whether the call is urgent and flags it appropriately, so time-sensitive matters are never buried in a message queue.
