Sample businesses

Call an AI receptionist. Book something real.

17 sample businesses, each set up the way a real one would be — staff, services, prices, hours. The receptionist on the line only knows what is listed here: pick one, check what it offers, then call and ask for it.

Before you call

  • Dial the number, wait for the greeting, then key in the three-digit code. On a phone, the Call buttons below dial the code for you.
  • Each call lasts up to 4 minutes. You can make 3 calls a day from one number, and 3 wrong codes end the call.
  • Book or order something and you get the same confirmation text a customer would — sent to the number you called from, US and Canadian numbers only.
  • Call from a number that shows caller ID; hidden numbers are turned away.
  • Speak whatever language you like, and switch mid-call. It follows you.
  • There is no person behind these businesses, so it cannot transfer you. Ask something it cannot answer and it takes a message instead.
  • Everything you book is wiped after 24 hours. Nobody is expecting you.
