The AI Receptionist for Local & Small Businesses
Elavo AI answers every call, text, and DM in a real voice, books appointments 24/7, and captures the leads you were losing to voicemail — so you can run your business instead of your phone.
Why local businesses choose Elavo AI
A missed call is a lost customer. Elavo AI makes sure you never miss one — day or night.
Answers every call, text & DM
It picks up the phone in a natural voice, replies to web chat, SMS, and Facebook/Instagram DMs, and handles it — even after you close. Ask for a person and it transfers the call.
Books appointments 24/7
It checks your live availability, honors your hours and buffers, runs a separate calendar per staff member or resource, and books without ever double-booking.
Captures leads you were missing
Every after-hours call and DM becomes a booked appointment or a captured lead instead of a voicemail — so the work you were losing to the next business stays yours.

Common questions
What is an AI receptionist for a local business?
It’s an AI that answers your calls, texts, web chat, and social DMs in a natural voice, books appointments against your real calendar, answers common questions, and captures leads — 24/7, without you or your staff having to stop what you’re doing. It’s built for local, appointment- and service-based businesses.
What kinds of businesses is it for?
Any local business that books appointments or takes service requests — salons, barbershops, spas, med spas, cleaning and detailing, landscaping, HVAC and auto repair, dentists, trainers, groomers, tattoo studios, real estate, restaurants, and more. Each of those has a dedicated page showing exactly how it works for that niche.
Does it answer the phone, or just texts?
Both. Beyond web chat, SMS, and Facebook/Instagram DMs, the Voice Receptionist answers real phone calls in a natural voice — quoting hours and pricing and booking out loud. If a caller asks for a person, it transfers the call to you.
How much does an AI receptionist cost?
Elavo AI starts at $99/month for the full platform — far less than a part-time receptionist or the revenue lost to missed calls. You can try everything free first, with no commitment.
Will it work with my existing website and calendar?
Yes. You can embed live chat and a “Book Now” button on your own website with one snippet, and two-way Google Calendar sync keeps ElavoAI bookings and your personal events from ever colliding.
How long does it take to set up?
Minutes. You enter your services, hours, and staff in a simple dashboard and your AI receptionist is live — no code and no technical skills required.
