AI Receptionist for Schools & Education
Never Miss a Parent Call or Enrollment Inquiry
Parents don't wait on hold. Our AI receptionist handles attendance reporting, enrollment questions, and tour scheduling 24/7—so your staff can focus on students while we manage your phone lines.
Overwhelmed Office Staff Hurts Everyone
Every missed enrollment call is a student going to another school
Morning Absence Reporting Overwhelms Staff
Between 7-8 AM, your phone lines are jammed with parents calling in sick days. Calls go to voicemail, parents get frustrated, and attendance tracking falls behind before the day even starts.
Enrollment Inquiries Go Unanswered
Prospective families call during lunch breaks or after hours with enrollment questions. By the time you call back, they've already scheduled tours at competing schools. First impressions matter—missed calls mean lost enrollment.
Staff Stretched Too Thin
Your office staff juggle walk-in visitors, email, and ringing phones simultaneously. Important calls get rushed or missed entirely while they help parents at the front desk. Every interruption pulls focus from critical administrative tasks.

Common Questions from School Administrators
Can parents report absences in languages other than English?
Absolutely! AI Receptionist supports 50+ languages including Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Arabic, Tagalog, and more. Parents can speak in their native language, and the AI responds fluently. This is especially valuable for diverse school communities where language barriers can prevent effective parent communication.
How does the smart call routing work for different departments?
You can configure up to 20 contacts or departments—like the principal's office, nurse, counselor, attendance office, or specific teachers. When a parent asks to speak with someone, the AI transfers the call intelligently using SIP/VoIP or traditional phone lines. It works seamlessly with your existing phone system whether you use VoIP, PBX, or regular phone service.
What happens if a parent has a complex question the AI can't answer?
The AI is smart enough to recognize when a question requires human expertise. For complex enrollment questions, special education inquiries, or sensitive situations, it collects the details and transfers the call to the appropriate staff member. You can configure transfer rules based on topic, time of day, or urgency level.
Can it handle emergency situations like student illness or accidents?
Yes. You configure emergency protocols during setup. For urgent situations like student illness, injuries, or safety concerns, the AI follows your predefined escalation path—immediately notifying the nurse, administrator, or emergency contact. It can also provide standard emergency information like your school's address for 911 calls.
How quickly can we get this set up before school starts?
Most schools are fully operational within 3-5 days. The process includes: (1) Forwarding your phone number or getting a new one (10 minutes), (2) Uploading your Knowledge Base: school handbook, FAQ, and staff directory (1-2 hours), (3) Testing with your team (1-2 hours), and (4) Going live. We offer hands-on implementation support to ensure you're ready before the first day of school.
Can it help during peak enrollment seasons?
Definitely! During enrollment periods, inquiry volume can triple. AI Receptionist scales instantly—handling 10 calls or 100 calls simultaneously without degradation. Prospective families get immediate answers about programs, tuition, and deadlines instead of waiting on hold. Every inquiry is captured with full contact details for your admissions team to follow up.
