Does it actually sound human, or will my customers know it's AI?

This is the #1 question we get — and our answer is what sets us apart. We're the exclusive small business platform powered by Rime's Arcana voice technology — the same voices used by enterprise AI companies because they're virtually indistinguishable from humans. Book a free setup call and hear the difference yourself.

How does the long-term memory work? Is customer data safe?

After each call, our AI extracts key facts: the caller's name, preferences, important dates, products they're interested in, issues raised. This information is stored securely with AES-256 encryption and retrieved when they call back. You have full control: view all memories in your dashboard, delete anything you want.

I'm not technical. How hard is setup really?

You don't touch anything technical — our team does it with you. On your free setup call, we ask about your business for 5-8 minutes, then build your custom configuration — system prompt, voice selection, calendar integration, transfer rules — everything. You're live within 24 hours.

What if my AI can't answer something or the caller wants a human?

Smart transfers happen seamlessly, with full context. You configure exactly when transfers should happen — by department, by topic, by caller request. When a transfer occurs, your team gets the full conversation context so callers never repeat themselves.

Can I connect this to my existing calendar and CRM?

Yes. Every agent comes with built-in email and webhook tools (perfect for Zapier or Make), and the MCP Tools tab connects your scheduler, CRM, or any internal system directly — those tools then work live on your calls, in real time.

What happens to my existing phone number?

Keep your number — just forward it. Set up call forwarding from your existing business line to your Answrr number (takes 30 seconds). Your customers call the same number they always have. If you ever stop using Answrr, turn off forwarding and everything goes back to normal.
