How does an AI voice receptionist actually work?
Below are the most important questions small business owners ask about AI receptionists, answered in plain language for humans and search engines.
Q1: What is an AI voice receptionist?
An AI voice receptionist is a virtual phone receptionist that answers calls using natural-sounding AI voices instead of a human. With PDS Voice Agents, callers hear a friendly, human-like voice that can understand questions, answer FAQs, route calls, and book appointments for you 24/7—even when your office is closed or your team is busy.
Q2: How does an AI receptionist reduce my receptionist costs?
Hiring a full-time human receptionist can easily cost $3,000–$4,000 per month with salary, taxes, and benefits. PDS Voice Agents starts at $149/month, handles calls 24/7, and never calls in sick. Most clients replace or reduce human receptionist hours, or use AI to cover after-hours and overflow calls—reducing labor costs while actually improving response time.
Q3: Can an AI receptionist really sound human and handle FAQs?
Yes. Your PDS voice agent is trained on your business information, services, hours, locations, pricing ranges, and common questions. It can greet callers by intent, answer repetitive questions, qualify leads, and even capture custom information you need before passing the call or message to your team.
Q4: Does an AI receptionist help with spam calls and robocalls?
Yes. Many AI receptionist services only answer calls—but they don’t stop spam. PDS Voice Agents includes smart spam detection that automatically screens suspicious callers, telemarketers, and robocalls so they never reach your team and never eat up your paid minutes. You keep the real customers; we filter the noise.
Q5: What does “Automate Your Business with AI Voice Agents & Workflows” mean?
It means your phone system doesn’t just answer calls—it triggers automated workflows. PDS connects your AI receptionist to calendars, CRMs, and internal tools. When a caller books, reschedules, or requests information, the workflow can send texts, emails, update records, and assign tasks without anyone on your team manually touching it.
Q6: What do I get in the 7-day free trial and consultation?
You get a live AI voice receptionist configured for your business, a strategy call to design your call flows, and 7 days to test real inbound calls. We’ll help you compare: current receptionist cost vs. AI receptionist cost, and current spam call volume vs. PDS spam blocking. At the end of the trial, you’ll clearly see if it saves you money and time.
Q7: Why do I need spam call blocking if I already use an AI receptionist?
Most AI receptionist solutions answer every call—legit or spam—and you still pay for every minute. PDS Voice Agents uses smart spam detection to identify robocalls, spam dialers, and obvious sales calls before they ever reach your workflow. That means:
- Your team doesn’t waste time on junk calls.
- Your AI minutes aren’t burned by spam callers.
- Your bill doesn’t creep up because of robocall volume.
If you’re comparing AI receptionist options, ask: “Do you actively block spam calls, or do I pay for them?” With PDS, the answer is: we filter them out for you.
Q8: What calls count toward my minutes?
Only real conversations. Our smart spam detection works to prevent obvious spam and robocalls from consuming your package minutes. Your usage is focused on real customers and leads, not nuisance callers.
Bonus: During your 7-day trial we’ll review your call logs with you so you can see exactly how much spam we blocked and how many real customers were handled by the AI receptionist.

How quickly can I get an AI voice receptionist live for my business?
Most small businesses are live within 1–3 business days. During your free consultation we gather your call flows, FAQs, booking rules, and integration needs. Then we configure your PDS Voice Agent, connect it to your number or forwarding rules, and run a quick test with you before going live.
Can callers talk to a real human if they need to?
Yes. Your AI receptionist can transfer calls to a human line during business hours, route to different team members, or take detailed messages after-hours. You control when the AI handles calls and when it should escalate to a person.
Will my customers know they’re talking to AI?
That’s up to you. Some clients clearly introduce the agent as AI; others position it as a virtual receptionist. Either way, the voice is natural, polite, and trained on your business so it feels like a professional front desk, not a robotic phone tree.
How does PDS detect and block spam calls?
We combine call pattern analysis, call reputation, and conversational signals to flag likely spam and robocalls. Suspicious callers are intercepted, given limited interaction, or blocked entirely so they don’t consume minutes or reach your staff. You can also manually block known numbers from your dashboard.
What happens after the 7-day free trial?
At the end of your trial we review usage, spam blocked, and leads captured. If you’re happy, you simply choose a plan (Starter, Business, or Enterprise) and continue with the same AI receptionist. If it’s not a fit, you can cancel with no obligation.
Is PDS Voice Agents a fit for my specific industry?
We work best with service-based businesses that rely on inbound calls—like clinics, home services, law offices, agencies, real estate, and professional services. On your consultation call we’ll confirm if we can safely handle your use case and compliance requirements.
