24/7 An AI receptionist for UK small businesses that answers when you cannot.
When you are with a customer, on the tools or closed for the night, the phone still rings. An AI receptionist picks up, answers the caller's questions and takes a message, so the job is not lost to whoever answers next. I'm based in Bromley and set this AI receptionist up for small businesses across the UK, from trades on the tools to clinics mid-appointment.

AI receptionist UK: how Show Up 24/7 works
- Your number stays yours. You set your phone to divert calls you do not answer to a UK number I set up for you. Customers ring the number they already know.
- It says what it is. The receptionist tells every caller plainly that it is an AI assistant, then helps them.
- It answers from your information. I load your opening hours, prices, services, areas and parking details, so common questions get a straight answer.
- It takes a proper message. Name, number, what the call is about and the best time to call back.
- You get a summary. Every call lands in your inbox as a short written summary, so you can ring back in order of importance.
What an AI receptionist does for a small business
Most small businesses do not need a full-time receptionist. They need the phone answered at the moments nobody can get to it: up a ladder, in the middle of a treatment, serving a queue, or at nine in the evening when someone finally has time to call. An AI voice receptionist covers those gaps without a salary, a rota or a holiday to plan around.
It suits businesses where a missed call is a missed job: plumbers, electricians and other trades, clinics and therapists, salons, garages and anyone who takes bookings. If every caller must speak to a person, or your calls need judgement on the spot, a human answering service is the better fit. I will tell you that on the first call.
AI call answering outside opening hours
Evenings and weekends are when many people get round to ringing. With AI call answering, a caller at ten at night still gets an answer to a simple question, or leaves a message that is waiting for you in the morning. Show Up 24/7 also includes online booking, so the caller can be pointed to your booking page there and then.
Missed call text back, or a full receptionist?
If you mostly need people to know you will call back, missed call text back is coming soon for Show Up & Book clients (£149 a month) and will be included at no extra cost from the day it goes live. Show Up 24/7 adds the receptionist on top, so the caller is answered as well. If you are weighing up the options, I have written up what an AI receptionist costs next to the alternatives, and there are pages for tradespeople and clinics.

Questions
What if the receptionist takes a lot of calls?
Show Up 24/7 includes 600 call minutes a month. After that it is 30p a minute.
What happens when the receptionist cannot answer something?
It takes a message, and a summary of every call is sent to your inbox so you can follow up.
Is an AI receptionist worth it for a small business?
It is worth it if missed calls are costing you work. Try the missed-enquiry calculator with your own figures first. If you miss very few calls, the lighter plans will suit you better.
Will callers know they are talking to an AI?
Yes. It says so at the start of every call. Callers can still leave a message for you to ring them back.
What happens to calls outside opening hours?
The receptionist answers them the same way, day or night, and the summary is in your inbox when you start work.
Do I keep my own phone number?
Yes. You divert unanswered calls to the number I set up, so customers keep ringing the number they already have.
Am I tied into a contract?
No. Monthly plans roll on with no minimum term. Cancel any time and your plan stops at the end of the month you've paid for. You can cancel or change your card yourself.
