Why Forward Grasshopper Calls to an AI Receptionist?

Most businesses miss 20 to 40 percent of incoming calls. Every missed call is a lost customer, a missed appointment, or revenue walking out the door. Forwarding your Grasshopper calls to an AI receptionist solves this instantly.

What an AI Receptionist Does with Your Forwarded Calls

• Answers every call 24/7. No voicemail, no hold music, no missed opportunities. Nights, weekends, holidays, and lunch breaks are all covered.
• Books appointments automatically. The AI checks your calendar availability and schedules appointments directly during the call. No back and forth needed.
• Takes detailed messages. When you can't take a call, the AI captures the caller's name, number, reason for calling, and any urgent details. You get a notification instantly.
• Speaks English and Spanish. Bilingual support means you never lose a caller because of a language barrier. The AI detects the caller's language automatically.
• Costs a fraction of a human receptionist. Plans start at $24.95/mo for 30 calls. Compare that to $3,000+/mo for a full time receptionist or $500+/mo for a traditional answering service.

The setup takes under 2 minutes. Forward your Grasshopper calls using the steps above, and your AI receptionist starts answering immediately.

Grasshopper supports international call forwarding, so you can route calls from anywhere to your AI receptionist.
