You can run more than one AI Receptionist on a single account. Each receptionist has its own dedicated phone number and its own independent configuration — name, greeting, voice, language, call forwarding, FAQ knowledge base, voicemails, and call history. Use separate receptionists for different locations, departments, or brands.

What’s Independent Per Receptionist

Each receptionist keeps its own:
  • Name — an optional label shown next to its number across the dashboard (see Naming a Receptionist)
  • Phone number — every receptionist is provisioned with its own dedicated number
  • Settings — greeting, voice, language, and call forwarding are configured separately
  • Inbox — voicemails, transcripts, summaries, and call history belong to that receptionist alone
  • FAQ knowledge base — see FAQ / Knowledge Base for how Shared and receptionist-specific FAQs work

Adding a Receptionist

1

Open the receptionist list

Select AI Receptionist in the sidebar to see every receptionist on your account.
2

Create a new receptionist

Choose Add Receptionist.
3

Reserve its phone number

Each new receptionist is provisioned with its own dedicated phone number. Search by area code and reserve a number — see Phone Number Setup.
4

Configure it

Set the name, greeting, voice, language, call forwarding, and FAQs for the new receptionist. These settings are independent of your other receptionists.
There is no cap on how many receptionists you can create. Each added number is billed — see Billing below.

Listing and Opening a Receptionist

The receptionist list (AI Receptionist in the sidebar) shows every receptionist on your account, each labelled by its name (or number), plus an All receptionists entry for the account-wide view. Select a receptionist to open its focused view, where tabs give you that receptionist’s Voicemail, Knowledge Base, and Settings. The receptionist’s name at the top of the page is a dropdown — use it to jump straight to another receptionist (or to All receptionists), or use the Receptionists back link to return to the list. To work across receptionists at a glance, use the account-wide section pages instead — see Account-wide vs Per-Receptionist Views.

Naming a Receptionist

Open a receptionist’s Settings and set its Name (for example, “Front Desk” or “Chicago Office”). The name appears next to the number everywhere — the receptionist list, the scope dropdown on the Voicemail, Knowledge Base and Settings pages, and per-voicemail labels. Leave it blank to fall back to the phone number.

Account-wide vs Per-Receptionist Views

Every Voicemail, Knowledge Base, and Settings page carries the scope it’s showing as its heading — either All receptionists or a single receptionist’s name. The heading is a dropdown:
  • All receptionists shows the account-wide view — every receptionist’s voicemails, your Shared FAQs, or your account settings.
  • Picking a receptionist scopes the page to that one — its voicemails, its own FAQs, or its settings — staying on the same section.
This is the quickest way to compare or manage across receptionists. The account-wide view is also reachable from the All receptionists entry at the top of the receptionist list.

Deleting a Receptionist

Delete a receptionist from the Receptionists list. Deleting releases its phone number and decrements your billing.
Deleting a receptionist is permanent. Its phone number is released back to the carrier and cannot be recovered, and the receptionist’s voicemails, transcripts, and call history are removed.
When you delete your last receptionist, your AI Receptionist subscription is cancelled.

Billing

Billing scales per receptionist:
  • Each added number is billed. Every receptionist you create adds its own dedicated number to your bill.
  • No cap. You can add as many receptionists as you need; each one is billed.
  • Per-user. Whoever creates a receptionist pays for it on their own subscription and payment method.
  • Deleting decrements billing. Removing a receptionist releases its number and reduces your bill accordingly. Deleting your last receptionist cancels the subscription.
