Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

The development and deployment time varies depending on the complexity of your AI receptionist. Most standard setups are completed within 1–2 weeks, while solutions with custom integrations, call routing, and CRM connectivity may require additional time. We work closely with you to optimise the setup for your business needs, ensuring seamless deployment and efficient operation from day one.
We follow a structured delivery process, including:
  • Deployment to a Test Environment
  • Your testing and written feedback (within the agreed period)
  • Up to two revision rounds during the revision period
  • Final deployment to your dedicated AI phone number

You must provide Training Data as specified in your contract (typically within 14 days). Incomplete or inaccurate Training Data may result in delays or additional charges.

Our AI receptionist uses a new, dedicated number for seamless system integration. To continue using your main business number, you simply forward it to this new AI line – a quick process we can help with. Please be aware that this requires maintaining service for both your original number with your provider and the new AI line.

You will select your own phone number through our trusted telephony partner. This is to ensure compliance with Australian regulations, which require the number to be registered to your official business identity.

We provide a step-by-step guide to set up an account, select from a broad range of Australian local numbers for each state and national toll-free options, and then grant our team delegated access.

An AI Receptionist is a comprehensive solution capable of answering detailed FAQs, managing appointments, processing information based on business rules, integrating with CRM systems, and transferring calls when needed.

An AI Answering Service provides basic message-taking: collecting contact details, recording a brief message, and forwarding to email.

An AI Receptionist represents a full virtual staff member, while an answering service is equivalent to a basic voicemail system.

Integration & Data

Through our Client Dashboard, you will have access to call transcripts, which you can download.

Yes, our solution can integrate with most third-party systems, provided they offer API access. This includes:

  • Creating or updating customer records
  • Scheduling, modifying, or cancelling appointments
  • Retrieving information (account details, appointment availability)
  • Creating tickets or support requests

Our AI receptionist is customised using your business-specific data, such as documents, FAQs, and website information, to provide accurate and relevant responses.

Additionally, our AI receptionist can pull real-time data from your CRM, booking system, or internal databases, ensuring up-to-date information is provided to callers.

How It Works

No. Our system uses natural conversation rather than traditional IVR menus. Callers can speak naturally as they would to a human receptionist, and the system understands their intent through conversational AI. This creates a more intuitive and efficient caller experience without the frustration of navigating complex phone trees.

Unlike traditional IVR systems or rule-based phone assistants that follow rigid scripts, our AI receptionist uses advanced natural language processing to engage in human-like, dynamic conversations. Powered by leading AI models, it understands context, learns from interactions, and responds intelligently.

Our AI receptionist can handle complex queries, route calls based on real-time needs, take messages, book appointments, and even escalate issues when necessary.

The system is configured with a customised script and system prompt that defines its personality, knowledge base, and operational parameters. This includes your business information, standard operating procedures, FAQ responses, greeting messages, and integration points with your existing systems.

Yes, you can provide your own greeting and script to ensure on-brand responses.

Your AI receptionist knowledge base can be regularly updated to keep responses accurate and relevant. Updates can include new FAQs, service changes, business policies, or call handling improvements. All plans include one free knowledge base update per month. Additional updates can be managed by our team, automated via system integrations, or handled manually through an easy-to-use interface.

When the AI receptionist encounters a complex enquiry that it cannot resolve, it will automatically escalate the call to a human representative or take appropriate action based on your business rules.

Depending on the setup, the AI can transfer the caller to a live agent, send a follow-up request via email or SMS, or log the query for later review.

Privacy & Security

Your AI receptionist data is securely stored in enterprise-grade Australian data centres, with primary facilities located in Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra. We ensure full compliance with Australian data privacy laws.

If you have specific compliance or business requirements, you can choose a preferred storage location.

We use your Training Data to develop, train, and operate your AI Call Agent (your configured service).

We do not use your Training Data to train AiDial’s general-purpose or core models.

We process the Training Data you provide to build and operate your AI Call Agent.

We also generate and store Call Data (e.g., recordings/transcripts/analytics) in line with your contract terms.

We may use your anonymised Call Data to improve your service.

We do not share your data except where necessary to deliver the service (e.g., infrastructure and technical processing), and as set out in your agreement and related policies.

The customer is responsible for informing callers they are interacting with an AI agent (where required by law) and ensuring appropriate consent is obtained where required.

Support & Service

AiDial guarantees 99.9% uptime from a hosting infrastructure perspective. The service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, technical issues, or circumstances beyond our control.

We offer 100% Australian-based ongoing support and maintenance to ensure your AI receptionist runs smoothly. This includes regular updates, security patches, and performance monitoring. We also offer content and call flow updates, system integration support, and priority support with a dedicated account manager.

Yes, the AI receptionist can support multiple languages and be localised for specific regions. This allows businesses to provide multilingual customer service.

Localisation also includes adapting responses to cultural nuances, accents, and regional terminology. Whether you need support for English, Mandarin, Spanish, or other languages, our AI receptionist can be tailored to meet your business needs.

Not necessarily. Our solution is designed as a workforce augmentation tool rather than a replacement. It excels at:

  • Handling high-volume, repetitive enquiries efficiently
  • Managing calls during after-hours or peak times
  • Processing routine administrative tasks
  • Ensuring no call goes unanswered during busy periods

This allows your human team to focus on complex customer issues, high-value client interactions, and situations requiring creative problem-solving.
