What is an AI receptionist?

An AI receptionist is an autonomous voice agent that answers incoming calls, qualifies leads, books appointments, and integrates with your calendar and CRM. Our team deploys and manages the AI so you don't have to lift a finger.

How much does Sockly cost?

Pricing is custom based on your business needs, call volume, and integrations. Most engagements start with a one-time setup fee and a flat monthly management fee. Book a free audit for a custom quote.

How fast can Sockly be deployed?

Our team deploys your custom AI receptionist within 72 hours. We handle everything — script writing, voice training, calendar integration, phone routing. You just approve and go live.

Is Sockly HIPAA compliant?

Yes. All data transmission uses TLS 1.2+, recordings and transcripts are encrypted with AES-256 at rest, and we maintain a full BAA chain. We support HIPAA-compliant integrations with Dentrix, Eaglesoft, and other practice management systems.

What happens if the AI can't answer a question?

The AI follows a strict escalation protocol. If it can't resolve a question after two attempts, it warm-transfers the call to your designated staff member with full context. Emergency keywords trigger immediate transfer. Our team configures these rules for your business.

Can callers tell they're talking to AI?

Most callers cannot distinguish our AI from a human receptionist. We use neural voice synthesis with natural conversational patterns, contractions, and contextual responses. If directly asked, the AI will honestly disclose that it's an AI assistant.

What does the Free Phone Audit include?

We call your business as a mystery shopper, analyze your current call handling, and show you exactly how many calls you're missing and how much revenue that costs. It takes 15 minutes and there's zero obligation.

What integrations do you support?

Sockly integrates with Google Calendar, Outlook, Cal.com, Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, Clio, ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, and most major CRM/EHR/PMS systems. Our team handles all integration setup for you.

Is Rosie AI cheaper than Sockly?

Rosie AI starts at $49/month for 25 calls, making it significantly cheaper for very low volume. However, Rosie's plans have call limits and the cost per call is higher than Sockly's at scale. Sockly's $1,500/month with unlimited calls is more cost-effective for businesses receiving 200+ calls per month.

How does Rosie AI voice quality compare to Sockly?

Sockly uses premium neural voices with sub-500ms response latency, creating natural-sounding conversations with minimal delay. Rosie AI uses standard AI voices with 1-3 second response times. The difference is noticeable to callers — faster, more natural responses lead to higher caller satisfaction and better lead capture rates.

Does Rosie AI integrate with CRMs?

Rosie AI offers limited integrations compared to Sockly. Sockly provides direct API integration with HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel, Google Calendar, Calendly, and practice management systems. This means call data, lead information, and appointment bookings flow automatically into your existing tools.

Is Rosie AI good for dental practices?

Rosie AI can handle basic call answering for dental practices, but it lacks HIPAA compliance with BAA, deep calendar integration with dental practice management systems, and the response speed needed to capture high-value patients. Sockly is built for medical practices with HIPAA-compliant call handling and direct PMS integration.

Should I start with Rosie AI and upgrade to Sockly later?

You can, but be aware that starting with a slower, less capable AI receptionist may cost you leads during the testing period. If your business relies on phone calls for revenue, starting with Sockly's 30-day guarantee is a better approach — you get the full capability from day one with the safety of a refund guarantee.
