AI Answering Service — Common Questions
Everything you need to know about our AI answering service and 28 industry flows.
What is an AI answering service?
An AI answering service uses artificial intelligence to answer your business calls 24/7. Unlike IVR systems with button presses, AI answering services understand natural speech, have real conversations, book appointments, capture leads, and transfer urgent calls — all automatically.
What are the 28 industry flows?
Our 28 flows are pre-built AI answering configurations optimised for specific industries. Each flow includes tailored questions, industry terminology, and call handling logic. Flows cover trades (plumber, electrician, etc.), healthcare, professional services, hospitality, and more.
Can you build a custom flow for my business?
Absolutely! Mathew and the team are dedicated to building bespoke flows for any business. Whether you need unique questions, specific routing, or integration with your systems — we'll build it. Custom flows are included free on Business Pro and Enterprise plans.
How much does the AI answering service cost?
Plans start at £9.99/month for 100 minutes with access to all 28 industry flows. Business Pro at £29.99/month includes 500 minutes plus custom flow building. Enterprise plans offer unlimited minutes and priority support.
Will callers know they're speaking to AI?
To most callers, it feels like speaking to a professional receptionist. Our AI uses natural British voices, responds conversationally, and follows industry-specific scripts. You choose whether to disclose AI usage.
Can the AI handle UK regional accents?
Yes! Team-Connect's AI is specifically trained on British accents including Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish, Scouse, Geordie, Yorkshire, and all regional variations. It understands UK terminology, postcodes, and business language.
How quickly can I get started?
Most businesses are live within minutes. Choose your industry flow, configure your greeting and routing, then start forwarding calls. Custom flows typically take 24-48 hours to build and test.
Are there any contracts?
No. All plans are month-to-month with no minimum commitment. Cancel anytime from your dashboard. Your AI flow, number and call history remain active for the duration of your billing period.
