I Built an AI Receptionist for local wellness businesses, Tell me why this won’t work

My friend and I are currently trying to work with local businesses, and have been researching different problems in different industries. We realized they all have one problem, they miss calls when they’re busy with their business. They’re in sessions when the phone rings, leading to no one picking up, and that client potentially ends up booking somewhere else.

We’ve been building an AI receptionist that:

• answers right away
• collects name, number, email
• asks what they want
• hands it off / books / sends it where it needs to go

What I need from you is to try and break it.

Try this:

• give it a hard-to-spell name and see if it confirms it properly
• change your mind mid-call
• ask an out-of-scope question
• talk over it

If it fumbles, tell me where and what it should have said instead. I’m still fixing the prompt and call flow.

What we’re trying to figure out is:

1. Would you let an AI talk to your clients first?
2. At what point does a caller want to talk to a human, regardless of the problem?
3. Is there any phrasing that immediately makes it sound too “AI” and could kill trust between the business and client?
