What it does

Everything a great receptionist does, on every call.

Answers 24/7

Picks up on the first ring, day or night, so no caller ever hits voicemail.

Books whatever you sell

Appointments, restaurant tables, takeaway orders and hotel rooms, always against live availability, never a double-booking.

Sounds human

Real-time, speech-to-speech voice that listens, answers, and holds a natural conversation.

Captures every lead

Takes the caller’s name, number and what they need, nothing slips through.

Human handoff

Sensitive, urgent or unhappy callers go straight to your team, with full context.

Answers WhatsApp & texts

Two-way AI chat on WhatsApp that books, reschedules and answers questions 24/7, plus SMS confirmations and missed-call text-backs. Two-way SMS chat works on text-enabled numbers. (Growth and Pro)

Spam blocking

Screens nuisance and repeat spam callers so your line stays clear for real customers.

Transcripts & dashboard

Every call transcribed and summarised, with the revenue Ringmere recovered for you.

British & compliant

Your data is stored in the UK, GDPR-ready, with the recording & AI disclosure built in.

Real calendar, no double-booking

It checks live availability at the moment of booking, so two callers can’t grab the same slot.

Safe with sensitive calls

Emergencies, complaints and vulnerable callers are escalated to a human immediately.

Compliant by design

Questions

Everything you would want to ask.

Will callers know they are speaking to AI?
Yes. Ringmere discloses at the start of the call that it is an automated assistant and that the call may be recorded, as required in the UK. In practice, most callers simply want a fast answer and a booking.
Can I keep my existing phone number?
Yes. Connect the number your customers already know, or we include a new local number free with your plan. Either way, setup takes minutes.
What happens with a complaint or an emergency?
Ringmere escalates sensitive, urgent or emotional calls to your team immediately with full context, and never gives medical or legal advice.
Does it work with my calendar?
Yes. Ringmere books into Google Calendar and checks live availability, so it never double-books a slot.
Can it take restaurant reservations or book hotel rooms?
Yes. Restaurants choose reservations, takeaway orders, or both on one line. Hotels get room bookings with live availability, either from Ringmere’s built-in room inventory or through your channel manager (Beds24 or Cloudbeds), which keeps Booking.com and Airbnb in sync automatically.
How long does setup take?
Minutes. Add your services, opening hours and number, and go live, often the same day.
Is my data safe and GDPR-compliant?
Yes. Data is hosted in the UK/EU, encrypted, and GDPR-ready. Ringmere only uses the business information you approve.
Is Ringmere an answering service or a virtual receptionist?
It does both jobs, with AI instead of an agent. Like an answering service, it picks up every call 24/7 under your business name. Like a virtual receptionist, it answers questions, takes messages and books appointments straight into your calendar. Because it is an AI receptionist, it costs from £49 a month rather than a per-call agent fee, never puts anyone on hold, and replies on WhatsApp and text as well.
