Relay

Relay is an AI phone receptionist for small businesses that answers the business line around the clock, greets callers in their language, collects contact details and the reason for calling, books appointments during the call, classifies urgency, and emails a transcribed summary to the owner. It runs on one number with two modes: Receptionist mode handles external callers, while Assistant mode lets the business owner call from a trusted number for open conversation, voice queries about recent calls, and live web search.

Features include Google Calendar live booking, smart routing by staff member or service, per-person schedules, FAQ knowledge bases, call redirect to a real phone with a private whisper, spam filtering via SHAKEN/STIR, per-line configuration, and integrations with Zapier and custom webhooks. It supports 29 languages, Google Gemini voice, and a dashboard for transcripts and usage.

Relay is aimed at solopreneurs, freelancers, and small businesses. It is packaged in three monthly plans—Solo, Team, and Business—each with a set number of phone lines, included minutes, FAQ entries, call history retention, and integration limits. Overage is opt-in at a flat per-minute rate. A free demo call is available before subscribing, with no credit card required.
