Exhibit 01 · a test call 0:00

An AI receptionist I built, taking a call for a made-up plumbing firm. Scroll to play it on the wall, or listen.

Try it talks to the same demo receptionist. Demo business (fictional).

Q Hi, what ages do you coach, and when is the Bridgend session?

Dan We coach ages 2 to 13: Mini Dragons are 2 to 4, Juniors 5 to 7, and Advanced 8 to 13. Bridgend sessions are Tuesdays at CCYD School in Tondu: Minis and Juniors start at 5pm, and Advanced starts at 6pm; each lasts an hour. How old is your child?

What they do

  • Answer the phone
  • Text booking links
  • Take messages
  • Text the owner straight away about anything urgent
  • Text back

Marcus also answers POWS Gym's phone. His website chat goes live on powsgym.com on Sat 26 Sep. Their lines reach the real owners, so to try one, use the fictional demo (09).

How I work

  1. We agree what it should do, and the tests it has to pass.
  2. I build it in accounts you own.
  3. I test it against those tests, then hand it over with notes.
  4. AI can get things wrong, so every assistant works from approved content and can pass the caller to a person.

Exhibit 01: the test call

Northside Plumbing & Heating is a made-up business. The caller is a test voice. Every AI line is exactly what it said; only the pauses were shortened. No real booking was made and no text was sent.
