Home / How it works
From missed calls to booked appointments, in three steps.
No hardware, no engineers, no scripts. Ringmere only ever says what you approve.
Step 1
Connect your number
Keep the number your customers already know, we point its calls at Ringmere in a couple of clicks, or we include a fresh local number free. You choose whether Ringmere answers every call, or only the ones you miss.
- Bring your own number, or get a new one free
- Answer every call, or fall back to AI only when you’re busy
- Live the same day
Step 2
Teach it your business
Add your services, prices, opening hours and FAQs, or import them from your website or a price list in seconds. Ringmere only ever offers what you approve, and never invents a price or a policy.
- Import services from your website in seconds
- Set opening hours, staff and buffers
- Approve exactly what the AI can say
Step 3
Go live
Ringmere answers every call, books straight into your calendar, captures leads, and escalates anything sensitive to your team with full context. You watch it all, transcripts, bookings and recovered revenue, from your dashboard.
- Books, reschedules and cancels into Google Calendar
- Escalates emergencies & complaints to a human
- See every call, booking and £ recovered
What a call sounds like
Natural conversation, not "press 1 for bookings".
Ringmere greets the caller, understands what they want in plain English, checks real availability, confirms the details, and books, then texts a confirmation. If it hears an emergency or a complaint, it stops and puts a human on.
Watch and hear it happen, in 73 seconds.
Under the bonnet
How does an AI receptionist work?
When your number rings, the call is answered by software instead of a person or voicemail. It listens to the caller in real time, works out what they want, and acts on it using only the information you approved: it checks live availability in your calendar, books or moves the appointment, quotes your prices, and takes a message when there is nothing to book. Anything it should not handle, an emergency, a complaint, a clinical question, it hands to your team straight away, with a summary of the call so far.
You decide how much of the phone it takes: every call, only the calls you miss, a separate line, or a text conversation instead of a spoken one. The four ways to run an AI receptionist walks through each with the setup steps.
