Smart Routing

AI Receptionist with Warm Live Transfers

Intelligent call routing that screens callers and transfers priority leads to your team, ensuring you only speak to the right people.

Hero

The Perfect Balance of AI and Human Connection

Not every call needs your personal attention, but the important ones do. Marlie's AI answering service acts as your perfect gatekeeper, handling routine inquiries, FAQs, and appointment booking automatically.

When a VIP client, emergency, or high-value lead calls, the AI receptionist performs a warm transfer. It keeps the caller on the line, calls your designated number, announces the caller, and connects you only if you accept. If you're busy, it seamlessly takes a message or schedules a callback.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a warm transfer work?

When a caller meets your transfer criteria, Marlie places them on brief hold and calls your number. When you answer, the AI announces the caller. You can choose to accept the call or have the AI take a message.

What happens if I don't answer the transfer?

If you're unavailable, Marlie seamlessly returns to the caller, apologizes for the wait, and offers to take a detailed message or schedule a callback time.

Can I customize when transfers happen?

Yes! You can set specific hours for transfers (e.g., business hours only) and define rules based on caller type, ensuring you're only disturbed for what matters.

Is there a limit to transfer destinations?

No, you can configure multiple transfer numbers for different departments or team members, ensuring calls always reach the right person.

How much does the service cost?

Warm transfers are included in our standard plan, starting at just $0.25 per minute. You only pay for the time the AI is handling the call.
