How to set it up yourself

  2. Turn on an AI receptionist (or your field-service app's built-in one) and paste that doc into its knowledge settings.
  3. Connect it to your real calendar so it only offers open slots.
  4. Forward missed or after-hours calls to the AI number.
  5. Review every AI call summary daily for the first two weeks and fix wrong answers.
