An AI phone answering service that never misses a call

An AI phone answering service picks up your business calls automatically — after hours, at capacity, and every call that would have gone to voicemail — answering questions, taking messages and booking appointments on your behalf. Whissle runs it 24/7 in 23 languages on your existing number.

Frequently asked

What is an AI phone answering service?

An AI phone answering service is a voice agent that answers your business calls automatically — greeting callers, answering questions, taking messages and booking — so no call goes unanswered, including after hours and during overflow. On Whissle it runs 24/7 in 23 languages.

Does it work after hours?

Yes. You can route after-hours and overflow calls to the agent, or have it answer every call. It works around the clock with no night staff.

Can it answer questions about my business?

Yes. The agent answers from your own information — hours, services, location, pricing — so callers get accurate, business-specific answers, not generic ones.

How much does AI phone answering cost?

Whissle prices voice agents at $0.06 per minute, all-in, with no retainer or per-seat license — you pay only for the minutes of calls it answers.
