Answering your business line

TeliTask answers the calls that ring your number: directions, opening hours, what you stock, and taking a message for everything else.

Who uses it: Showrooms, shops, clinics, rentals and offices where one or two people answer the phone.

How it works

  1. Give TeliTask your facts: location, hours, products and prices. You approve each one before it is used.
  2. Write the greeting and what it should offer, for example “I can help with our hours, our location, what we stock, or take a message.”
  3. Forward your number to the TeliTask number from your own phone: every call, only when you are busy, or only when you do not answer.
  4. Check the Calls page for messages and callers who need a person.

We’re on Mombasa Road, next to the petrol station, open until 6 today. Shall I describe the way in?

No, that’s fine. Thanks.

What it can do today

  • Answer from the facts you have approved, and nothing else. It says it does not know rather than guessing.
  • Say it is an AI assistant, in the greeting or whenever it is asked.
  • Take a message with the caller’s name, number and what they need.
  • Recognise someone it called recently and pick up where that call left off.
  • Use a different script for each of your numbers.
  • Pass callers it does not recognise straight to a number you choose, before it answers.

  • Send the customer a text or WhatsApp message after the call.
