How can I customize Beside for personal use?

While Beside was originally designed with business users in mind, many of our users also enjoy using it for personal purposes—whether it’s filtering spam calls, managing personal communications, or keeping a record of conversations.

The great news is that you don’t need to change your account settings to switch from “business” to “personal.” Instead, you can easily customize your Beside experience to fit your personal style.

Follow these simple steps to update your AI Receptionist with your personal details:

By updating these settings, your Beside account will reflect your personal identity while still retaining all the powerful features designed for business use.

• Spam filtering:

You can configure your Receptionist to exclusively answer missed calls from unsaved numbers, effectively filtering out spam while keeping control over calls from your contacts.

• Call recording & transcription:

Keep a record of your conversations or transcribe calls for future reference. Plus, you always have the option to stop recording during a call.

• Seamless communication:

If you prefer not to use the Beside number assigned to you at sign-up, simply enable call forwarding and caller ID. This allows you to use your own number while still benefiting from Beside’s features.

Even for personal use, you must still comply with Beside’s Terms of Service. This includes obtaining consent before recording calls and not using Beside for restricted content.

We value your input and are always looking for ways to improve Beside. If you have any ideas, suggestions, or specific use cases that could make Beside even better, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Your feedback helps shape future features and enhancements to serve you better.
