Exploring AI & Automation Options for handling calls!

Running a business solo is a grind, and one of the biggest challenges I have faced is handling calls while staying productive. I’d be in the middle of deep work, and suddenly, baam the phone rings.

I have tried using a VA (virtual assistant), but the costs are just adding up, and they aren’t always available. Hiring full-time! Way too expensive.

Lately, I have been thinking of getting AI-powered solutions that act as virtual receptionists—handling inquiries, scheduling appointments, and even answering customer questions that will not be too expensive. I came across this AI receptionist software called My AI Front Desk. It looks pretty cool – handles calls, booking appointments, even does customer support 24/7. I'm thinking about giving it a shot, but I'm curious if anyone else has used AI for this kind of stuff? What's your experience been like?

How do you handle incoming calls? Have you tried automation or AI assistants? Curious to hear what’s worked for you!
