What's getting in the way today
- You lose leads every time a call rings out or a chat goes unanswered after 5pm.
- Your team spends hours each week on the same questions: opening hours, prices, where you're based, do you cover my area.
- Hiring a full-time receptionist costs £25,000+ per year and only covers business hours.
- Outsourced call answering services read scripts, miss context, and cost a fortune per minute.
- Cheap chatbots feel robotic and damage trust the second a real customer asks anything specific.
How a Boafo AI Receptionist works
We train an AI Employee on your website, services, prices, opening hours and tone of voice. It sits inside a branded chat widget on your site and answers every visitor within seconds, day or night, weekday or weekend.
It books appointments directly into Google Calendar (Microsoft 365 on request), with confirmation emails to the customer and your team. No phone tag, no double bookings, no missed slots.
Routine questions are resolved instantly. When a conversation needs a human (a complaint, a complex quote, a VIP client), the agent captures everything the customer has said and hands a clean, qualified brief to your inbox and Google Sheets.
It works alongside your existing phone system today by focusing on the enquiries that come through your website, so no visitor question goes unanswered while your team is busy or closed.
Example conversation
Why teams choose Boafo Agent for this
24/7 first response
Every visitor and every after-hours caller gets a reply in seconds. No more voicemail black hole.
Books straight into your calendar
Google Calendar invites are created the moment the appointment is agreed. The slot is yours.
Trained on your business
Knows your services, prices, locations and policies. Not a generic FAQ bot.
Branded experience
Lives inside your colours, logo and voice. Customers feel they are talking to your business.
Cheaper than a part-time hire
From £99/month. A typical office receptionist costs 20x that, and only works 9 to 5.
Multilingual on request
Serves UK, US, Canadian and European customers in their language without extra headcount.
Where the ROI shows up
Most businesses recover the monthly cost from a single extra booking captured outside office hours. The bigger win shows up over the quarter: a measurable lift in qualified leads, less time spent on repetitive questions, and zero missed enquiries on evenings and weekends.
Boafo Agent runs in production today, including at AddressCore, handling real customer enquiries, bookings and onboarding 24/7.

Frequently asked questions
What is an AI receptionist?
A virtual receptionist powered by AI that answers your website chat 24/7. It greets customers, answers common questions, captures contact details, qualifies the enquiry and books appointments into your calendar without human intervention. Voice and telephone answering are planned capabilities and are not currently included in the standard live product.
How is this different from a chatbot?
A chatbot follows scripts and breaks the moment a real question is asked. The Boafo AI receptionist is trained on your business, understands context, books appointments, and routes complex cases to a named person on your team with full conversation history.
How much does an AI receptionist cost?
Boafo Agent plans start at £99 per month. A part-time human receptionist typically costs £15,000 to £25,000 per year and only covers business hours. Most customers recover the monthly fee from a single extra booking captured outside 9 to 5.
Does it answer phone calls?
No. Boafo Agent answers website chat and enquiries. Voice and telephone answering are planned capabilities and are not currently included in the standard live product.
Can it book directly into my calendar?
Yes. Boafo Agent integrates with Google Calendar today and creates the invite for the customer and your team the moment the appointment is agreed. Microsoft 365 is supported on request.
How long does setup take?
Most businesses are live within a week. We train the AI receptionist on your website, services and tone of voice, embed the branded widget, and tune the first weeks of real conversations.
Will it sound like my business?
Yes. The agent is trained on your tone, your services and your policies. It sits in a widget that uses your colours and logo, so customers feel they're talking to your business, not a third party.
What happens with complex enquiries?
The agent captures everything the customer has said, qualifies the request, and creates a clean handoff to your inbox and Google Sheets with full context. Nothing is faked or guessed.
Is it suitable for small businesses?
Yes. It's built for SMEs that can't justify a full-time receptionist but lose money every time a lead waits. Typical customers are professional services, trades, clinics, agencies, home care, recruitment, schools and consultants in the UK, US, Canada, Ireland and Europe.
Where is customer data stored?
Data is processed in line with GDPR. Conversations and lead details are stored in your tenant workspace and forwarded only to the inbox and Google Sheet you control. Nothing is sold or shared.
