Before we talk
A few useful answers.
Can a human always back up our AI answering?
Yes. Human backup is always an option with Heyou.ai. If you want a person behind your AI, we build that into your service. We agree who takes over, the coverage hours, and the handoff rules before launch.
Can a caller ask to speak with a real person?
Yes. When you choose human backup, we include a caller-requested handoff in the call flow. The route can connect to live receptionist support, your own team, or a combination, according to your agreed setup.
What happens if the AI can’t answer a question?
We define its scope and escalation instructions in advance. With human backup selected, questions outside that scope have a route to a person. We also agree how to capture a message and what happens if a transfer can’t be completed.
Do we have to choose human backup?
It’s your choice. Human backup is always available as an option. Tell us the experience you want for your callers, and we’ll shape the balance of AI and people around it.
Can we keep our current number and tools?
We review your phone setup, forwarding options, and the systems involved in your workflow. Compatibility, scheduling capabilities, and any changes needed are confirmed for the solution you choose.
How do coverage and pricing work?
They depend on call volume, hours, tasks, connected workflows, and the human backup you choose. We discuss the scope and quote with you before you commit.
