How to Set Up an AI Phone Assistant for Your Business (5-Minute Guide)

5 Minutes. That's It.

Setting up an AI phone assistant sounds complicated. It's not. Here's exactly how to do it with Ringix:

Step 1: Sign Up (1 minute)

Go to ringix.online/pricing. Pick a plan. All plans have a 3-day free trial — no charge until day 4.

  • Basic ($297/mo): 1,500 minutes, perfect for most small businesses
  • Pro ($497/mo): 2,500 minutes, multiple languages, CRM integration
  • Premium ($797/mo): 4,000 minutes, custom AI, dedicated account manager
  • Step 2: Tell Us About Your Business (2 minutes)

    After signing up, you'll answer a few questions:

  • Business name and type
  • Your hours of operation
  • Common questions callers ask
  • Your services and pricing
  • How you want appointments booked
  • This trains the AI to sound like your receptionist, not a generic bot.

    Step 3: Get Your Ringix Number (instant)

    We assign you a dedicated phone number. This is your Ringix line.

    Step 4: Forward Your Calls (2 minutes)

    Set up call forwarding on your existing business line:

  • When busy — rings go to Ringix when you're on another call
  • When unanswered — rings go to Ringix after 3-4 rings
  • Always — every call goes through Ringix first
  • Most phone carriers: dial \*72 + your Ringix number to activate forwarding.

    Step 5: You're Live!

    That's it. Test it by calling your own business number. The AI will answer, greet the caller by your business name, and handle the conversation.

    After each call, you get a text summary of what was discussed.

    What Happens Next?
