Languages spoken by the AI Receptionist

Depending on the custom voice you choose for your AI Receptionist, it can handle calls in English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, and Russian.

Right now

  • The AI Receptionist always starts calls in English.

  • If the selected voice supports multiple languages, callers can ask it to switch languages manually at any time.

Coming soon

  • You'll be able to choose the default language your Receptionist starts in. For example, start calls in Spanish instead of English when using a bilingual voice.

📌 Voice Clone: If your AI Receptionist is using a voice clone, it will only support calls in English (US). To enable multilingual support, select one of the bilingual pre-recorded voices instead.
