Can ClawCall work as an AI receptionist?

Yes. Unlimited Reserve Plus adds inbound AI answering on one active reserved number. ClawCall begins with a fixed recording disclosure, then follows the account’s inbound instructions using its global voice and personality settings.

What can the ClawCall receptionist do with an incoming call?

It can ask how it can help, gather the caller’s name, reason, urgency, and callback details when useful, take a message, and optionally hand the caller to one configured external number.

Which plan includes inbound AI reception?

Unlimited Reserve Plus is $14.99 per month and includes AI inbound answering on one active reserved number while retaining outbound AI calling. Unlimited Reserve provides the private reserved caller-ID number but does not include the inbound assistant.

Does ClawCall replace a contact center?

No. ClawCall is a focused self-serve receptionist for one active reserved number. It does not claim multi-line queues, seats, CRM routing, international coverage, multilingual reception, or contact-center compliance attestations.

Can callers be handed to a person?

Yes, when one external handoff number is configured. ClawCall consults the person reached there before joining the calls. Whoever answers that handoff number is treated as the intended person; the call does not verify account ownership.

Inbound AI on Reserve Plus

Let ClawCall answer your number.

Give one active reserved number an AI receptionist that follows your instructions, gathers useful caller context, takes messages, and can hand a caller to you. The same ClawCall account still makes outbound calls.

HandoffOne optional external number

A clear front door for one phone line

ClawCall answers first as your assistant. It is designed for a solo operator or small team that needs useful inbound coverage without configuring a contact-center platform.

Disclosure

Start every inbound call clearly

The first spoken line is a fixed recording disclosure. A stored profile greeting does not replace or append to that disclosure.

Instructions

Tell the receptionist what to collect

Configure standing instructions for unknown future callers: what to ask, what not to promise, when to take a message, and when to offer handoff.

Voice

Use your account voice and personality

The global ClawCall voice and personality settings apply to both inbound and outbound calls, keeping the assistant consistent in either direction.

Evidence

Review what was actually captured

Use call history and captured transcript evidence when present to understand the caller’s request. A phone-network outcome alone does not explain what the caller needed.
