STINGER PHONE ANSWERING
She answers the business line, and waits for your yes.
Annabelle answers your business line and speaks back to the caller. She never speaks for you until you confirm what she should say.
What it is
A voice that answers your line, on a leash you hold.
Annabelle picks up the business line and talks to the caller, and she does not speak on your behalf until you have confirmed it.
What it does for you
Answers and speaks back
She answers your business line and talks to the caller in a real voice, not a menu tree.
Waits for your confirm
She never speaks for you until you confirm what she should say, so nothing goes out in your name that you did not approve.
It runs on your own phone number
You connect a business number to the account and calls to it come through. Without a connected number there is no line for her to answer, and nothing pretends otherwise.
Part of the same assistant
It is the same Annabelle that runs the rest of your business, so she already knows the customer and the context.
On screen
Every call she took, on one screen.
The phone screen in Command Center
Included
Included with every Command Center tier.
How it compares
Phone Answering against a call note-taker like Otter.
A note-taker like Otter listens to a call and writes it up. It does not answer your line or speak to the caller. Phone Answering does both, and holds back until you confirm what should be said.

|---|---|---|

| Built on the assistant that runs the rest of your business | Yes | Standalone note-taker |
