About Frontel
Frontel is a browser-based AI phone answering service for businesses. Businesses provide their services, hours and other useful information to guide the AI’s answers. Frontel answers calls, collects caller names, callback numbers, inquiries and appointment requests, and saves available conversation text and request details in Messages. Teams review requests and contact callers to confirm appointments or arrange another time. When capacity is available, businesses can activate a Frontel phone number or forward calls from an existing number. Frontel is designed for small businesses and service teams handling routine inquiries and caller follow-up; its application stores conversation text, not call audio.

Penelope
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.
