Common Challenges

Problems Software Companies Face Without an AI Receptionist

These pain points cost software companies millions in lost revenue and customer churn

Missed Demo Opportunities

Prospects from different time zones call when your sales team is offline. By the time you call back, they have already booked demos with competitors. Each missed call could represent $50,000+ in annual recurring revenue.

48% of demos booked after hours

Bug Reports Lost in Chaos

Critical bug reports come in via phone but lack proper documentation. Incomplete information leads to longer resolution times, frustrated customers, and increased churn risk for your highest-value accounts.

3.2x longer resolution without context

Expensive Technical Support Scaling

Hiring technical support staff who understand software is expensive. Training takes months, turnover is high, and providing 24/7 coverage requires multiple shifts—destroying your unit economics.

Sample AI Receptionist Conversation

Technical Support + Demo Scheduling

Thank you for calling TechFlow Solutions. This is your AI receptionist. Are you calling about technical support, scheduling a demo, or something else?

Hi, I'm having an issue with the API integration, but I also want to schedule a demo of your new features for my team.

I'd be happy to help with both. Let's start with the API issue. Can you describe what error you're seeing and which endpoint you're calling?

The /users endpoint is returning a 403 error even though I'm passing the API key correctly.

A 403 error typically indicates a permissions issue. Let me check a few things: Are you using a production or sandbox API key? Also, was your API key created in the last 24 hours? New keys need to be activated in your dashboard.

Oh, it is a new key! Where do I activate it?

Great catch! Go to Settings, then API Keys, and click "Activate" next to your new key. It takes effect immediately. Now, let's get that demo scheduled. I see openings tomorrow at 2 PM or Thursday at 10 AM. Which works better for your team?
