Go from a website to an AI receptionist in just a few minutes
Phonely lets any business go from a website to a conversational AI receptionist in a matter of minutes.

Hey 👋! It's Will and Nisal here. We’re building Phonely, an AI receptionist system that ensures you’ll never get put on hold again.
We are both former PhD AI researchers from the University of Melbourne, and 8 months ago, we set out to build an AI receptionist that could do everything that a person could do over the phone, and it's safe to say we’re done just that.
❌ The Problem
Missed calls cost businesses tens of thousands of dollars in lost revenue every year. Sure, you can hire a receptionist or outsource to a call center, but even they face the same problem. Humans sleep, have bad days, and ultimately don’t scale. We can do it better, faster, and 70% cheaper than the status quo.
✨ Our Solution
Phonely uses a website URL to build a humanlike AI answering system in just a few minutes. Our platform then connects to scheduling software, routes calls, and integrates with an existing knowledge base, all while improving its responses over time.
After the call, Phonely provides powerful AI analytics and automatically extracts relevant information, sending it directly to the business CRM, phone, or inbox.
Phonely doesn’t just sound like a person. It can do things like a person, too.
- Connect directly to your calendar to schedule, cancel, or rebook appointments
- Send SMS messages
- Trigger live automations based on the callers’ inquiry
- Place outbound calls to remind customers about important events (i.e. upcoming appointments)
- And much more
⚙️ How it works
Phonely combines the best voice providers, language models, and transcription software to create contextually accurate, lifelike voice responses in under a second. If you give us your website, we will visit every page and extract relevant information automatically, formatting it to work with our custom-trained language models. We also directly integrate with a bunch of different software, such as Google Calendar and Zapier, to make it easy to manage appointments and so much more.
