AI Voice Agent That Books Appointments by Phone
SchedulingKit's AI voice agent is the AI receptionist add-on for the Business plan ($39/month, 100 SMS credits included). It answers calls and texts on its own phone number, tells callers about your services, checks real availability and books the appointment during the call.
An AI voice agent is a voice user interface that answers phone calls with speech recognition and natural language. SchedulingKit's AI voice agent (the AI receptionist add-on) can list your services and their details, share staff and business information, check availability and create a booking. It doesn't reschedule or cancel bookings, place outbound calls, or triage emergencies.
What the AI Voice Agent Does on a Call
From answering the phone to creating the booking, within clearly defined limits.
Natural Phone Conversations
Callers describe what they need in their own words. The agent answers from the service, staff and business details you've entered in SchedulingKit, plus any FAQ and instructions you add.
Answers questions using your own service and business details
Real-Time Calendar Booking
The agent checks the same availability as your booking page, including connected calendars, and creates the booking during the call. The booking then follows your normal confirmation and reminder settings.
Only offers times your booking rules allow
What It Leaves to Your Team
The agent doesn't reschedule or cancel bookings, triage emergencies, verify insurance or make outbound calls. Share your office hours in your business info so callers know when to reach staff for anything else.
Rescheduling and cancelling stay with the client's manage-booking link
How a Booking Call Works
