AI voice agent answering calls 24/7 to reduce missed calls

Solution

Reduce missed calls with AI — and stop bleeding leads to voicemail.

Most small businesses miss 20–40% of inbound calls. Every missed call is a competitor's win. Talos builds AI voice agents that answer 100% of calls, around the clock.

The short answer

An AI voice agent answers every inbound call within one ring — 24/7, in English and Spanish — qualifying the caller, booking the appointment, and texting your team a summary, so you stop losing 30%+ of calls to voicemail.

Who it's for

If any of this sounds like you…

Your front desk is overloaded

Calls go to voicemail when the receptionist is on another line.

After-hours leads vanish

Nights and weekends generate inquiries you never see.

Ad spend is being wasted

You're paying for clicks and calls that nobody answers.

You can't justify another hire

Hiring full-time coverage costs $40K+/year. AI is a fraction of that.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Three pieces working together: a 24/7 AI voice agent that answers every call day, night, weekends and holidays; calendar booking that reads your real availability and books straight into your scheduling system; and CRM capture that pushes a structured record with the full transcript. Urgent calls warm-transfer to a human on rules you set. You can point every call at the agent, or start with after-hours and overflow only.

They close the two places calls leak — nobody free to pick up, and nobody there after hours. The agent picks up in under two rings, qualifies the caller, then either books the appointment or routes it, so the lead lands in your CRM in real time instead of a voicemail nobody returns. Businesses typically go from a 20–40% missed-call rate to under 5% after launch.

That's a common starting point. We can configure the agent to take only overflow and after-hours calls, then expand to full coverage once you trust it.

Yes. We always include a way to reach a human, and we warm-transfer urgent calls automatically based on rules you set.

Yes. A custom build wires them into whatever tools you already run. If your phones run on Talos Connect, its built-in connections send missed-call alerts to Slack, Zapier, Make or n8n, and send calls with their AI summary, new contacts, booked appointments and leads to HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM, Close, monday.com or Airtable. Our team sets that connection up for you.

Most clients pay a one-time build fee plus a monthly operations fee. Specifics depend on call volume and integrations — we'll quote honestly after a 15-minute call.
