Your phone rings while you're on the tools, in a chair, or closed for the night — and the caller hangs up and dials the next business. Syntra's AI receptionist picks up every time, on phone, SMS and web chat, qualifies the enquiry, answers the common questions and books straight into your calendar. Done for you, on your existing number.
An AI receptionist is an always-on front desk. It answers inbound phone calls, replies to texts, and handles web-chat conversations the moment they come in — at 2pm or 2am, weekday or weekend. It greets the caller in your business's voice, figures out what they need, and either resolves it or routes it to a human.
For most small businesses it does five jobs at once: answers 24/7 across phone, SMS and web chat; qualifies the enquiry so you know who's serious; answers the FAQs people ask all day; books the appointment directly into your calendar; and recovers missed calls with an instant text-back before the lead goes cold.
Studies of inbound enquiries show the business that responds first wins the lion's share of the work. A missed call at lunch or after hours isn't a callback later — it's a customer booked with a competitor before you've seen the voicemail.
See how fast you respond today →No hold music, no "leave a message," no office hours. Every caller, texter and chat gets a real answer immediately — including evenings, weekends and holidays when most enquiries actually land.
A traditional answering service takes a message and passes it on. The AI receptionist checks your live calendar and books the appointment on the spot, so the lead is captured while they're still interested.
We script and approve every response with you first, then run it under review until it consistently sounds like you. You stay in control of what it says — it just never sleeps, never calls in sick and never puts a caller on hold.
The AI receptionist is part of Syntra Capture, our done-for-you front-desk package starting at $800/month CAD. That covers answering across phone, SMS and web chat, qualifying and booking, and missed-call recovery — all set up and run for you on your existing number and calendar.
Weigh that against a part-time receptionist at roughly $2,500–$3,500/month who only covers business hours — and against the real cost of missed calls. If even a handful of missed enquiries a week are worth hundreds of dollars each in booked work, the system pays for itself fast and keeps working through every night and weekend.
For most home-service, clinic and trade businesses, a single recovered booking is worth more than a month of the service. Everything after that is upside — captured 24/7, with no front-desk staff to hire or train.
Talk pricing for your business →Home services & trades · HVAC, plumbing & electrical · clinics & medical practices · dental · salons & spas · law firms & accountants. If your customers call to book and judge you on how fast you respond, an AI receptionist is the cheapest full-time hire you'll ever make.

An AI receptionist is an always-on virtual front desk that answers your phone calls, texts and web-chat enquiries 24/7. It greets the caller in your business's voice, answers common questions, qualifies the enquiry and books the appointment into your calendar — covering the calls a human front desk would miss after hours, at lunch, or while you're busy.
Syntra's AI receptionist is part of our Capture package, starting at $800/month CAD, fully done-for-you on your existing number and calendar. That's a fraction of a part-time receptionist — who only covers business hours — and it usually pays for itself with a single recovered booking, since it works nights, weekends and holidays too.
Yes. Rather than taking a message like a traditional answering service, the AI receptionist checks your live calendar and books the appointment directly during the conversation. The booking lands in your system instantly, so the lead is captured while they're still interested instead of waiting on a callback.
