AI employees for small business

Your next hire isn’t human. Your customers won’t mind.

Whispario supplies AI employees. Your new receptionist answers every call and every message — day, night, weekends — qualifies the customer, books the job, and chases the enquiries that go quiet. You just watch it happen from your phone.

The problem, in numbers

Every unanswered call rings the next business in the list.

1 ring

That’s how fast your Whispario receptionist answers — at 2pm or 2am, on the phone or on WhatsApp.

168 hrs

Hours in a week your business is now reachable. A full-time human covers about 40 of them — minus holidays, lunch and sick days.

£149/wk

The wage. A human receptionist costs £450–550 a week — for one shift a day, five days a week.

Meet your new hire

What your AI receptionist actually does all day

Not a chatbot bolted onto your website. A member of staff who works your front desk across every channel your customers use.

Phones

Answers every call, properly

Greets callers in your business’s name, has a natural conversation, takes the details that matter — who, where, what, how urgent — and routes it right. Every call recorded and summarised.

Messages

Replies on every channel

WhatsApp, SMS, iMessage, web chat and email — answered in seconds, in your tone of voice, with your prices and your rules. One conversation history per customer, not five.

Diary

Books the job

Checks the diary, offers real slots, books it in — with double-booking protection. You wake up to a fuller calendar, not a fuller voicemail box.

Follow-up

Chases the quiet ones

The quote nobody replied to. The caller who hung up. The no-show. Your receptionist follows up on the customer’s own channel — and will even ring them back — until it’s answered or you say stop.

Reporting

Hands you the day on a plate

A daily summary of every enquiry, booking and follow-up, written like a colleague’s handover note. No dashboard to learn.

Control

Steps aside when you step in

Open the app, read any conversation, and take over with one tap — the AI goes quiet instantly. And if a customer asks whether they’re talking to an AI, they get an honest answer.

Hiring, not installing

Working within a week

The intro call

15 minutes. We learn how your business runs — services, prices, patch, diary, the questions customers always ask. You decide if you’re hiring.

The training week

We train your new employee on your business, connect your number and channels, and test it with you until you’d put it in front of a real customer. That’s what the hiring fee pays for.

First day on the job

Your receptionist starts answering. You watch every conversation live from your phone and can take over any time. Most owners stop checking within a fortnight.

Wages

Pay a wage, not a licence fee

Billed weekly, like payroll. One-off hiring & training fee when you take someone on. No long contracts — four weeks’ notice, the same courtesy you’d give any employee. Prices ex VAT.

Fair questions

The things every owner asks

Will my customers know it’s an AI?

Only if they ask — and then it tells the truth, briefly, and gets on with helping them. Most callers just experience a warm, competent receptionist who picks up on the first ring. We think honesty is why they keep calling back.

What happens when it can’t handle something?

It does what good staff do: takes the details, tells the customer exactly what happens next, and escalates to you immediately. It never bluffs a price it doesn’t know or promises a time it can’t see in the diary.

Do I have to change my phone number?

No. We give your receptionist its own number and you forward your existing line when you’re busy, after hours, or always — your choice, changeable any time.

What if I want to take over a conversation?

Open the app, tap the conversation, start typing (or ring the customer). Your employee goes quiet on that thread the moment you step in and stays out of the way until you hand it back.

Is there a contract?

Four weeks’ notice, like a real employee. If your receptionist doesn’t pay for itself in captured enquiries in the first four weeks, we refund the wages.
