How long does it take to set up an AI receptionist?

Most small businesses go live within days. The AI is trained from your website and Google Business Profile, you review the answers, set booking rules, and turn on call forwarding. Shtello Connect handles the setup for you as part of its one-time $499 setup; the voice front desk is live within days and texting turns on after U.S. carrier registration.

Expect a short onboarding call to confirm services, hours, pricing policy and escalation rules, then a test call before you forward your line.
