Your Intelligent AI Receptionist. Never miss a customer.

Yes and yes. The assistant states it is an AI in its first sentence, every call. It never pretends to be human — that's a hard rule, not a setting.

Live prices are always on the pricing page — they vary by country and every price is shown before checkout, never after. The receptionist is a monthly rolling plan with AI call minutes included; the website is a one-time build. There is no setup fee and no notice period — cancel the monthly plan any time.

Same day. There is no hardware and no app to install. You tell us about your business on one short form (or we fill it in with you on a call), and you sign a short pilot agreement — about a minute, from a link we email you. We then check exactly what the assistant may and may not say before anything is switched on. Once both are recorded, your number and voice agent are provisioned in minutes, and the last step is yours: dial a short code to divert your existing line, which takes about a minute. We hold the whole thing until your signature and our check are both recorded — deliberately, so nothing goes live answering your customers in words you have not seen.

Same day, we confirm your business details. For the website: we build it, you approve the preview, and it is published only after approval and payment are both recorded. For the receptionist: we configure the assistant from what you told us, you sign the pilot agreement, and we check the wording before anything is switched on. Then you divert your line and it starts answering.

No. You keep your published number. Your phone diverts to your RingQuay line only when you can't answer (or for all calls, if you prefer) — a dial code on your handset, takes under a minute.

Yes, once a calendar is connected — Google Calendar or Cal.com. RingQuay checks the requested time against your live availability and confirms only after your calendar accepts the booking. Without one connected it keeps its own diary instead, which cannot see appointments you make elsewhere, so we would rather set that connection up with you. If the slot is unavailable or the calendar cannot be reached, it records a callback request instead.

Not yet. RingQuay sells in the United Kingdom today. The United States, the European Union and India are built and priced, but each stays closed until its own legal and telecoms checks are finished — so checkout will decline outside the UK rather than take money for something we cannot yet serve properly. If you are outside the UK, email us and we will tell you honestly where that market stands.

By design: it won't quote binding prices, diagnose problems, invent availability or take payments. It captures who called and why, books only a calendar-verified appointment, and hands anything urgent or sensitive straight to a human.

Emergency-sounding calls stop routine intake immediately and are escalated to the out-of-hours contact you nominate. RingQuay is an answering and message-taking service, not an emergency service — a caller with a genuine emergency should always be told to ring 999.

The receptionist is monthly, cancel anytime — no notice period, no exit fee. The website is yours once published. The only thing that recurs is the domain: the first year is included, then £25 a year from year two, and we tell you 30 days before it is due. You can move the domain to your own registrar whenever you like, free, and we start the transfer within 14 days.

The RingQuay application keeps the minimum structured callback details — name, number, reason and preferred time — for 30 days, then automatically deletes them. It does not copy call audio into its database. Voice-provider processing and retention settings are explained in the privacy notice; callers can request access or erasure at any time.

RingQuay is a DigiAutomate product. DigiAutomate is a trading name of Zen AI Governance UK Ltd, a UK company (No. 16827795) whose day job is AI governance and compliance — which is why the receptionist's rules are the product, not an afterthought.
