Both are used for answering calls (Upfirst 22, Loman AI 4) and customer support (Upfirst 9, Loman AI 2).
Hearthstone Animal Clinic, a one-vet practice in northwest Houston with three support staff, has an AI receptionist pick up when the phone rings over 18 seconds, after hours and on half-days. It sends refill links and new-client forms by text, answers price questions, and handles hard calls like end-of-life care with care.
Nature's Designers, a landscape contractor in Wisconsin with a maintenance division and a construction division, got the phones back on the owner when his office manager went back to a day job. An AI receptionist now asks which division the caller needs, turns away mowing-only work, gets the details and transfers urgent calls.
The owner of Adkins Ranch & Land Care, a land care business in El Dorado County, California, often can't hear his phone over tractors and brush cutters. An AI receptionist now answers with the business name, takes the caller's details, filters spam and remembers returning callers. He reads or listens to every call from his phone.
A Dallas fast-casual Mexican restaurant gets 45% of its sales by phone, and about 85% of callers order in Spanish. Staff had to choose between the line and the phone, losing 10 to 15% of phone orders. With a Spanish and English voice agent, the owner says phone orders tripled.
A single-location pizzeria in Vero Beach, Florida used to need four people on the phones on busy nights. A voice agent named Chloe now takes orders in about 1 minute 5 seconds instead of up to 5 minutes, with no missed calls or hold times on Friday rushes.
The owner of a small pizza shop in Midland, Texas found staff were stuck on the phone all shift, and walk-in customers couldn't pay because the register was in use. An AI phone agent now takes every call, even before opening, and he uses its call log to decide his opening hours.
