Tilly
Tilly is a cloud-based AI receptionist for small businesses that need to handle incoming calls while working. It answers calls in a natural British voice, responds to callers' questions using information supplied by the business, and records each caller's name, contact number, request and its urgency for follow-up. Call summaries and transcripts are emailed to the business, and callers can be saved as contacts. Pro and Business plans add appointment booking with Google Calendar, Outlook and Apple Calendar sync, SMS alerts for urgent calls, support for more than 20 languages, and event routing to other services through webhooks, Zapier or Make. Businesses can forward calls from an existing number or use a UK number supplied by Tilly. The service is designed for tradespeople, garages, salons, clinics and other UK service businesses, and identifies itself as an AI receptionist when asked.

Higher-tier plans add calendar bookings, call transfers and team routing, while Premium adds integrations and reputation management.
