Recording and transcriptChecked
  • Your receptionist asks the questions you would ask and follows the instructions you give it.

    It gets the details you need to follow up: who called, what they need and how urgent it is.

  • If something can't wait, it escalates it the way you have told it to.

    If it can't help, it says so plainly and takes a message. It never pretends to be you.

  • After the call, a second check looks at what happened.

    Were the details captured properly? Was it escalated when it should have been? You get the recording, the transcript and a short report, so you know how the call was handled.

  • That is what we mean by an agentic receptionist.

    It doesn't just answer. It acts on the conversation and moves things forward for you.

  • On Professional and Premium, it can also book appointments into your calendar, transfer calls and route callers to the right person in your team.

Built around how your industry's calls go

Pick your industry to see the calls that tend to get missed, and what your receptionist asks the people who ring.

Plumbers

The calls that get missed

A burst pipe or a leak through the ceiling, while you're mid-job or driving between customers. If nobody picks up, they ring the next plumber on the list.

What it asks callers
  1. The address and postcode
  2. What's happening
  3. Whether the water's been turned off
  4. When they're free

Examples. You choose the questions.

How it works

You keep your business number. The calls you can't take are forwarded to Ringzel, and your receptionist answers them in your business name.

You get the details.

As soon as the call ends, you get a summary of who called and what they need.

What you get after every call

After every call, you get the recording, the transcript, a call summary and a check report. That's included on every plan.

The summary tells you what the call was about. The recording and transcript are there if you want to hear or read the whole thing.

The check report is a second look. Within three minutes of the call ending, a separate check reviews it. Were the details captured correctly? Was it escalated when it should have been? If something needs your attention, you'll know.

Urgent calls don't wait for the report. During the call, your receptionist follows your escalation instructions. In an emergency, it gives callers your emergency instruction and texts you straight away.

None of this is extra admin. It's there so you can trust that each enquiry was handled properly, without listening back to every call.

Your website can handle enquiries while you're busy

Your bespoke AI chat widget talks to website visitors for you, so nobody from your team needs to sit behind a live chat window or be online to reply.

It answers their questions using the information about your business, finds out what they need and captures the enquiry while you get on with your work.

When the conversation ends, the transcript and a summary are saved in your Ringzel account. From there, you can call the lead back or, where available, contact them on WhatsApp.

So an enquiry that comes in at 9pm gets a proper answer, not an empty chat window.
