  • Complaints, refunds, negotiation and anything medical, legal or financial.
  • Always give the caller a way to reach a person.
  • Read a sample of transcripts every day at first.
01

What a receptionist agent is for

A Telugu AI receptionist answers your incoming calls in Telugu when your team cannot. It gives approved answers, books appointments and takes messages, so that fewer callers reach voicemail and your team starts the day with a clear list of who called and why.

02

What it handles well

The repeated calls: opening hours, address, directions, what to bring, fee ranges you are happy to state, and booking or rescheduling.

These are short, predictable and answered the same way each time, which is exactly where consistency helps. It also handles the calls that arrive when nobody is free: lunchtime, festivals, late evenings and Sundays.

03

What it should not try

Complaints, refunds, negotiation and anything medical, legal or financial. A good receptionist agent recognises these and hands over quickly, with a summary, instead of improvising. Write those handover rules down before you switch it on.

04

Set it up so callers are never trapped

Always give the caller a way to reach a person. Say what will happen next and when. If the agent cannot answer, it should say so plainly and offer a callback, and the callback must actually happen.

05

Review the first week

Read a sample of transcripts every day at first. Look for questions it could not answer, places where callers repeated themselves, and any answer that was wrong. Each one is a fact to add or a rule to tighten.
