How AI Answering Services Work

How an AI Answering Service Handles a Call

Every call answered. Every message delivered.

Floo answers the call, follows your business greeting, captures the caller's request and either sends the message or follows your configured escalation rules.

Answer the Call 24/7

Overflow + after-hours

Floo answers incoming calls day or night, including overflow periods, weekends and after-hours coverage.

1

Greet the Caller & Capture the Message

Custom greeting + intake

Use your business name, greeting and intake script to collect the caller's name, contact information and reason for calling.

2

Send the Message to Your Team

Email / SMS / Slack

Floo transcribes and summarizes the message, then sends it to the appropriate employee through your configured notification channel.

3

Escalate Urgent Calls Based on Your Rules

On-call handoff

Calls matching configured priority or emergency conditions can be transferred or sent to an on-call contact instead of waiting for the next business day.

Answer calls while you are in meetings or working with clients, collect detailed messages and book approved meetings when appropriate.

Outcome

Solo operators sound like a full practice without a full front desk.

AI After-Hours Answering Service

Cover nights, weekends and holidays with message capture and configured urgent-call escalation.

Outcome

Off-hours callers reach a real conversation instead of voicemail.
