Website chatbot, WhatsApp assistant or AI receptionist: which does your business need?
Pick the channel your customers already use to contact you. Phone-led businesses need an AI receptionist; businesses with good website traffic need a website chat assistant; businesses whose customers message need a WhatsApp assistant. All three can answer questions, capture details and book appointments.
| Option | Best for | Starting price (ex-VAT) |
|---|---|---|
| AI receptionist | Estate agents, trades, clinics — anyone whose customers ring | £395 + £79/month |
| Website chat assistant | Businesses with steady web traffic but few enquiries | £295 + £39/month |
| WhatsApp assistant | Salons, clinics, lettings, hospitality; UK and India customers who message | £295 + £39/month |
Three questions to decide
- How do new customers contact you today? Check last month: calls, web forms, WhatsApp messages. Start where most of them come from.
- When do enquiries go unanswered? Evenings, weekends and busy periods are when an assistant earns its keep.
- What should happen next? A booked appointment, a quote visit, a call-back? The assistant should finish with that step, not just "we'll be in touch".
What every good assistant should do
- Say it is automated, and hand over to a person when needed
- Use your real prices, services and hours — never make things up
- Send you the details and the full conversation instantly
- Keep data in the UK/EU under a data processing agreement
