Smith.ai

Smith.ai is a paid Enterprise Agents tool for hybrid AI-human virtual receptionist service, with current public pricing starting at $500/month for its AI Workforce offering that handles 24/7 call answering, intake, lead qualification, scheduling, CRM updates, routing, summaries, and human-supported escalation. Pricing starts at $500/month for Smith.ai's AI Workforce positioning on its current public site, with the service described as 24/7 coverage, unlimited capacity, no after-hours surcharges, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Buyers should treat $500/month as the currently verifiable public starting point for this record and confirm final contract terms, included usage, and any available add-ons directly with Smith.ai before purchase. Smith.ai is a hybrid AI-human receptionist service for businesses that need front-office call answering, intake, lead qualification, appointment scheduling, CRM updates, routing, call summaries, and follow-up without building their own voice AI stack. It is best suited for law firms, home services companies, IT and MSP teams, marketing agencies, healthcare and dental practices, and other small or mid-market businesses where missed calls and slow response times can directly affect revenue. Several facts are clearly verifiable from Smith.ai's public site and support its positioning: the company says it has powered 25 million-plus calls over 10 years; it describes a 500-plus North American live agent network available 24/7; it says it serves 5,000-plus businesses; it states roughly 80% of its customers are law firms; and it says it can sync call data across 7,000-plus integrations. Smith.ai also states that both AI and live agents are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, including weekends and holidays. The platform's core distinction is that AI agents and live receptionists are presented as one operating system rather than separate products. AI handles routine intake, qualification, FAQ response, routing, scheduling, CRM updates, call recording, transcription, and summaries; live agents can support calls that need judgment, empathy, payment finalization, scheduling nuance, or caller preference for a person. The public site says about 25% of AI-first calls currently involve a human, including 10% AI-initiated, 10% business-initiated, and 5% caller-initiated transfers. That hybrid managed-service model makes Smith.ai more operationally complete than many developer-first AI phone agent tools, but also less self-serve and typically more expensive than pure software-only voice AI platforms. Accuracy-sensitive claims should be framed carefully: Smith.ai's support documentation verifies an API resource category with API keys, outbound call request APIs, outreach campaign APIs, and chat API documentation, while security, SOC 2, HIPAA, BAA, retention, and regulated-workflow terms should be confirmed from current Smith.ai security materials or contracts before procurement.
