What it handles

Your front desk, without the hold music

Set up with your own information and rules, so it sounds like your business.

Answers 24/7

Missed calls, lunch breaks, evenings, weekends and holidays. Every caller gets a real answer, not voicemail.

Books appointments

It checks your live calendar, offers open times, and books the visit. The caller gets an email invite.

Gets urgent calls to a person

Emergencies and callers who ask for a person are transferred to you. If nobody picks up, it takes a detailed message.

Asks your intake questions

New or returning, what they need, how they heard about you. It asks what you'd ask, then stops.

Answers common questions

Hours, location, services, what to bring. Only the answers you approve, and it never makes things up.

Emails you every call

A summary, the full transcript and any booking arrive right after each call. With the caller's permission, it texts them a follow-up.

Front Desk + Follow-up

Every call and inquiry answered, followed up, and on your calendar.

Small businesses lose customers in the gaps: a call that goes to voicemail, a message nobody answers, an appointment nobody reminds. We cover those gaps so each step happens on its own, day or night.

  1. 01

    They reach you

    A caller or form visitor, at any hour. Our AI receptionist answers in English, Spanish, Arabic or Turkish, and says it's an AI.

  2. 02

    Details are saved

    Their name, number and request go into your customer list automatically. No retyping.

  3. 03

    They get a reply

    A friendly message with your booking link goes out, and you get an alert with the details.

  4. 04

    Reminders, not no-shows

    A reminder before the appointment and a thank-you afterwards, without anyone lifting a finger.

  5. 05

    Nobody falls through

    If a caller hangs up before they're helped, you're alerted right away, and customers who've agreed to texts get an instant message with your booking link. If no one has followed up after two days, you get a nudge with a ready-made message.

  6. 06

    A report every Monday

    One short email: calls, new leads and bookings from the week before.

You stay in control: we start with drafts you approve, and switch on automatic sending only when you're comfortable. Results depend on your business, so we don't promise specific numbers. Set up as one simple monthly plan, quoted after a free 30-minute audit.

Guardrails

Helpful, honest and safe

  • Only uses the information you give it. If it doesn't know, it takes a message.
  • Never takes payment details or passwords over the phone.
  • Transfers emergencies and anyone who asks for a person.
  • Texts callers only if they say yes, and they can reply STOP at any time.
  • You control the greeting, answers, hours and voice from your own admin page.

FAQ

AI Front Desk questions

What is an AI front desk?

An AI front desk (or AI receptionist) is a voice assistant that answers your business phone. SentryView's picks up missed and after-hours calls, answers questions from your own information, books appointments into your calendar, transfers urgent calls to your team and emails you a summary of every call.

How much does an AI receptionist cost?

A flat monthly plan plus a one-time setup, sized to your call volume and what you need it to do. The free setup audit gives you an exact price before anything goes live.

Do I have to change my phone number?

No. You keep your number. We turn on call forwarding so missed, busy and after-hours calls go to your AI Front Desk, and your phone still rings first. You can switch forwarding off at any time.

Will callers know they're talking to AI?

Yes. It says so at the start of every call and mentions that the call is transcribed. It speaks in a natural voice, and any caller can ask for a person at any point.

Which calendars does it book into?

It books into an online calendar your team can see, such as Google Calendar, Outlook or Cal.com. If you use industry booking software, we'll work out the best setup during your audit.

What happens when it can't answer something?

It takes a message with the caller's name, number and what they need, or transfers the call to your team. You get the summary by email right away.

How long does setup take?

Usually under a week. We load your information, connect your calendar, turn on forwarding, then run test calls with you before it answers real customers.

Do you serve businesses outside your area?

Yes. We set up and support AI Front Desk for businesses anywhere in the United States, fully remotely.
