SkipCalls is an AI receptionist and 24/7 answering service built for small businesses. It answers calls to a business's existing number, collects the caller's details, books appointments and texts the owner a summary of each call. Spam calls are blocked before they reach the owner.
The company positions the product for contractors, handymen and other owners who cannot pick up while working. It runs through an iOS and Android app and a web dashboard, and the site says it answers in English and Spanish.
Setup relies on call forwarding. The owner turns on forwarding with their current carrier, and SkipCalls picks up calls that go unanswered, so no new number or hardware is needed. The site describes setup as taking one to five minutes depending on the page, with no contract.
During a call, the AI checks calendar availability, books a slot and sends a confirmation text. Urgent callers can be transferred to the owner and then to an on-call team member, in an order set once. Afterward, the app lists who needs a reply, with a summary and transcript for each call.
On the call itself, SkipCalls detects the caller's language, greets known callers by name, can speak in a cloned version of the owner's voice, and blocks about 9 million known spam numbers. Warm transfers brief the employee before connecting the caller. Owners can also send chosen family and friends straight to voicemail.
Behind the call, it provides searchable transcripts, a built-in CRM timeline for each contact, and data collection for intake fields the owner defines. Newer additions include a website chat and email receptionist, outbound call campaigns, and skills that give the AI set steps for call types like quotes. Ring-your-phones-first and skills require Pro or higher.
