SkipCalls is an AI receptionist and 24/7 AI answering service for small businesses. It uses a business's existing phone number to answer incoming calls, understands customer needs during the call, checks the calendar, and books services, while sending the business owner a summary text message for each call, transferring urgent calls, and blocking spam calls, positioned as a virtual receptionist that costs far less than a human.
Main capabilities include: AI answering and service booking, which can write appointments directly into the business calendar; AI call summaries, generating the caller's identity, needs, urgency, and next steps within seconds; AI call screening, filtering out robocalls, sales calls, and scam calls; automated text follow-up, helping reply to customer emails in eligible plans, and transferring calls in real time when needed; 24/7 answering covering nights, weekends, and holidays; support for English and Spanish.
How to use it: keep your existing phone number and carrier, turn on call forwarding, and let the AI answering service take over. Setup takes about 5 minutes. It is compatible with major carriers such as T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, Mint Mobile, Google Voice, Cricket Wireless, RingCentral, Open Phone, Boost Mobile, Spectrum Mobile, U.S. Cellular, Tello Mobile, Visible Wireless, Xfinity Mobile, and others. For integrations, it supports Google Calendar (real-time availability sync, automatic booking, calendar conflict detection, time zone support), Outlook Calendar, and custom Webhooks that send call data via HTTP, and supports connecting the AI agent to a business phone line.
Use cases include: job intake, emergency dispatch, and estimate booking for field service teams such as contractors and plumbers; customer FAQ responses and support exception routing; organizations such as law offices that need to protect client confidentiality and improve their intake process; and any small business that wants to turn missed and after-hours calls into clear next steps.
