Every session call, answered.
An AI receptionist for photographers answers your business line while you are behind the camera, books sessions and answers questions about your packages. Voxgard picks up in about 0.3 seconds, day and night, in 32 languages. A parent asking about family portraits hears your session lengths, locations and prices as you loaded them, then gets a shoot booked into Google Calendar or Calendly with a text confirmation. Wedding inquiries get the date, venue and coverage hours taken down and a consultation booked. Past clients asking when their gallery will be ready or how to order prints get a message recorded, and caller memory greets them by name next time. Headshot clients can text a photo of the look they want by MMS. It quotes only the prices you set and says so when it does not know. Plans start at $249 a month, and the free five-day pilot runs on your real calls with no credit card.
