Sloane

Sloane is an AI answering service designed specifically for businesses. It functions as a virtual receptionist that picks up calls 24/7, interacts with callers using a human-like voice, and handles common business tasks. The system answers frequently asked questions about your business, books appointments directly into your calendar, and captures customer information like names, phone numbers, and reasons for calling. It then sends this information to you via text or email, so you can follow up without having missed the initial contact.

What makes Sloane stand out is its focus on customization and realism. You train it on your specific business details—your services, hours, pricing, and booking process—so it can provide accurate information to callers. The AI is designed to sound natural and conversational, to the point where many callers don't realize they're speaking with a machine. It also includes smart spam filtering to block robocalls and telemarketers, letting only legitimate customer calls through.

This tool is ideal for small business owners, freelancers, and service professionals like electricians, landscapers, salon owners, and healthcare providers who can't always answer the phone but don't want to miss potential clients. It replaces the need for a human answering service or a full-time receptionist, offering a more affordable and always-available alternative. The free plan includes 25 minutes of call time per month, making it easy for businesses to try before committing.
