AI first. Real people right behind it.

AI Answering Service, Backed by Real People

Our AI answering service picks up your calls and website chats instantly, day and night, and handles routine questions. The moment a customer needs a person, a trained live agent takes over in the same call or chat. You decide how much the AI does.

Why DOS

Your knowledge, not guesses

The AI answers only from the knowledge base we build with you, and never invents prices or policies.

A person on request

AI live chat with human takeover: customers can ask for a person anytime, in the same call or chat.

Our own software

The AI runs inside the same platform our agents use, so the handover is instant and nothing gets lost.

AI + people

Our own software

AI and agents on one platform we built ourselves

No third-party AI tool bolted on top. We built the phone system, inbox and AI our agents use every day, so handovers are instant and the setup fits your business.

One inbox for every channel

Calls, texts, email and website chat in one place, so nothing falls between systems.

AI assistant built in

Runs our AI call answering service and chat, marks replies, hands over to people.

Queues and phone menus

Calls reach the right agent, team or on-call person by your rules.

Recordings and transcripts

Listen back to any call or read the transcript when you need to check what was said.

Live wallboard

Calls waiting, agents available and today’s numbers, updated as it happens.

Coverage report

Shows any hour when nobody could have answered, so gaps get fixed, not hidden.

Reports and response targets

Answer rates, reply times and volumes by channel, against the targets you set.

Local numbers, or keep yours

New local or toll-free numbers, or forward the number your customers already know.

You get your own login to see every call, chat, recording and report. Nothing to install, and no separate software bill.

Common questions

Will customers know they are talking to AI?

AI replies are clearly marked in chat, and you decide how the AI introduces itself on the phone.

What happens when the AI can’t answer?

It hands the call or chat to one of our agents, with everything it has already collected, so the customer doesn’t repeat themselves.

Can we use AI only at night?

Yes. Many clients keep people on the phones during the day and use AI for overflow and quiet hours, with agents still on hand.

Who checks what the AI says?

Our team reviews AI conversations, corrects answers and updates your knowledge base so the AI keeps improving.

Is an AI answering service for business cheaper?

Usually, for high volumes of simple questions. Share your volumes and we'll price both options side by side.
