About
Mr Telco is a cloud-based AI phone receptionist for businesses that handle appointments, orders, service requests, and customer questions by phone. Businesses configure an agent with plain-language instructions and information from their website or uploaded documents, then test calls in a browser before publishing. The agent answers routine questions, books appointments, captures order or job details, sends texts and links, transfers urgent or other calls to staff, and provides call summaries. Connectors include Google Calendar, Microsoft 365, Calendly, Square, Stripe, ServiceM8, Jobber, Xero, QuickBooks Online, Cliniko, and Slack; webhooks send call details to external systems. Plans start at $99/month, with included call-minute and SMS allowances and additional usage charges. It is designed for organizations that want routine inbound calls handled when staff are busy or unavailable.

About
Penelope is a secure, natural-sounding AI receptionist built to answer calls instantly, qualify every caller, and book the ones worth a business’s time, 24/7. It is set up around each company’s tone, greetings, call flows, qualification criteria, and booking logic, so every caller receives a consistent experience that reflects the business. Penelope answers on the first ring, asks only the questions the business needs answered, then books a meeting or takes a detailed message. It can check real-time calendar availability, confirm appointments, and avoid double-booking or lost instructions. When a conversation needs a real person, Penelope can transfer the caller directly to the appropriate team member; if no one is available, it records a detailed message, sends it immediately, and tells the caller when to expect a response. Built-in guardrails keep conversations within approved boundaries, so the AI does not improvise, speculate, or provide information the business has not authorized.
