Frequently asked questions
What Canadian owners ask before putting an AI receptionist in front of callers.
What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist answers your business phone (and often chat) 24/7, captures structured intake, books appointments, and hands off to staff with context — instead of sending callers to voicemail.
How is VOOQIO different from a phone bot?
VOOQIO is a full AI front office: voice, chat, CRM (Vault), bookings, follow-up, and Review Guard in one workflow. Phone bots often stop at generic scripts without calendar or pipeline integration.
Does Sarah support English and French?
Yes. Sarah detects caller language on voice and chat and responds naturally in English or French — built for Canadian bilingual intake out of the box.
How fast can we go live?
Most businesses launch within 24 hours: claim workspace, configure persona and FAQ, connect calendars, test forwarding, then route live calls to Sarah.
Is VOOQIO PIPEDA-aligned?
VOOQIO uses PIPEDA-aligned practices with Canadian workspace data residency, encryption, and tenant isolation. Review Security & Compliance, Privacy Policy, and DPA for procurement.
What does pricing look like in Canada?
Public CAD plans start at $249/mo with included AI minutes. No per-seat phone fees typical of legacy stacks — compare plans on the pricing page or use the ROI calculator.
Can Sarah book appointments?
Yes — Google Calendar and Outlook on Starter+. Sarah respects buffers, business hours, and provider-specific calendars when configured.
What happens on emergency calls?
You define triage keywords and escalation paths. Sarah captures urgency and can forward or alert on-call staff — similar to flagging urgent messages at an answering service, with structured data upfront.
Will customers know it's AI?
Sarah uses natural conversational voice. Many callers experience professional reception. Book a live demo to judge fit for your brand and industry.
