An AI receptionist for small business answers everywhere your customers actually message, at any hour. That beats one desk, on one channel, during business hours.
30 minutes, no pitch. If your gap is small, you will be told that.
Only the first one needs anything from you, and it takes a single conversation.
Your hours, your services, your prices, the questions customers actually ask at the front desk, and the things it should never say.
It gets written to sound like your business rather than a script, texting back short and natural the way you'd answer between other tasks instead of the long AI-sounding paragraphs people have learned to spot.
A message that would normally sit until someone's free gets a real answer in seconds, on any channel, all day.
Once the customer is qualified they get booked, instead of a message that sits in an inbox until Monday.
This is built for small businesses that outgrew what one front-desk person can realistically cover, especially once enquiries started splitting across calls, texts and DMs at the same time.
A human receptionist costs payroll, covers one channel, and clocks out at five. An AI receptionist for small business covers every channel your customers use, all day, for a flat monthly rate instead of a salary.
Weigh that against what one front-desk hire costs a year, and the comparison isn't close.
| Option | After hours | Answers your busiest channel | Monthly cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nobody checking | No | No | Free, and it shows |
| You checks when free | No | Rarely | Time pulled off other work |
| Extra hire to monitor messages | No | While on shift | Payroll |
| Basex8 | Yes | Yes | $67 first month |
It's one call with no pitch, and you'll come away knowing more about your business either way.
No pitch, just a conversation. Pick a time that works and tell us a little about your business.
