AI receptionist on your phone line
Answers calls in your business’s name on the hours you choose, asks your qualifying questions, books into your calendar and transfers urgent calls to the person you choose.
One package for businesses that lose work to voicemail and slow replies. An AI receptionist answers your phone on the hours you choose, a chatbot handles your website and WhatsApp, and automatic follow-up goes out by SMS, email or WhatsApp when an enquiry comes in. Enquiries are written into your CRM, and you pay one monthly price per location.
Thanks, that’s with us.
A senior engineer reads every enquiry and will reply as soon as they can.

Quick answer
Never Miss a Lead is a package from SpiderHunts that covers the three places new enquiries usually go missing: phone calls nobody answers, website and WhatsApp messages nobody replies to, and enquiries that are noted down but never followed up. It combines an AI receptionist, a website chatbot, a WhatsApp chatbot and automatic follow-up, all writing into your CRM through CRM integration.
Each part asks your qualifying questions (what the job is, where, how urgent, roughly what budget), books into your calendar where that makes sense, and hands anything sensitive, complex or urgent to a person on your team with a written summary. You decide when the AI answers: out of hours, at lunch, when lines are busy, or all the time.
SpiderHunts Technologies Ltd is registered in London (Companies House 16718403) and works with clients remotely, by video call. The package starts from £5,500 to set up, plus from £400 a month per location, excluding VAT. Your final price is set in a written quote after a free call, with scope and exclusions agreed up front.
What’s included
Every part is set up around how your business takes enquiries today. You approve the scripts and the follow-up messages before anything goes live.
Answers calls in your business’s name on the hours you choose, asks your qualifying questions, books into your calendar and transfers urgent calls to the person you choose.
Answers visitors’ questions from information you approve, collects their details and either books them in or passes them to your team.
Handles enquiries on the WhatsApp Business Platform, asks for photos or details where useful and hands the conversation to a person when it needs one.
When an enquiry arrives from a call, chat, form or ad, a first message goes out automatically by SMS, email or WhatsApp, followed by a short sequence you approve. It stops when the person replies or books.
Each enquiry is logged with its source, the answers given and a summary of the conversation, so your team works from one list instead of voicemails and sticky notes.
The right person is told when a lead is ready to talk or an enquiry is urgent, with the details attached, so nobody has to ask the customer to repeat themselves.
Part of the monthly plan: we read transcripts and conversations, fill gaps in what the AI knows, adjust scripts and follow-ups and check the connections are working.
How it works
The same path for a phone call, a website chat or a WhatsApp message.
A call, a chat on your website, a WhatsApp message or a form. Calls reach the AI only at the times you set.
It says it is an AI assistant, answers questions from your approved information and asks your qualifying questions.
Routine enquiries are booked into your calendar. Urgent, sensitive or complex ones go to the person you choose.
If the person has not booked, an automatic message follows by SMS, email or WhatsApp, in the order and wording you approved.
The enquiry, its source, the answers and a summary are written into your CRM, and duplicates are matched to existing contacts.
Your team sees who needs a call back and why, instead of piecing it together from voicemail.
Where leads go missing
A caller who reaches voicemail often rings the next business on the list. A website message that waits until tomorrow may already have gone elsewhere. Neither shows up in a report.

Examples
Illustrative examples of what we build, not client results.
The AI receptionist takes the job type, postcode and urgency, books routine visits into the diary and transfers genuine emergencies to the engineer on call. Website and WhatsApp enquiries ask for photos of the problem.
Aim: fewer jobs lost to voicemail while everyone is on the tools
Calls, chats and WhatsApp messages capture the matter type, key dates and contact details, check the area of law is one the firm handles and book a consultation. It gives no legal advice and says so.
Aim: each new enquiry recorded and routed to the right fee earner
New patient calls and messages are booked into the practice system, fee and treatment questions are answered from approved information, and anyone reporting pain or swelling is passed to the clinical team.
Aim: fewer new-patient enquiries waiting until the morning
Buyers and landlords who call or message after hours can book viewings and valuation appointments. Enquiries that do not book get a follow-up message the next morning.
Aim: evening enquiries booked rather than left until the next day
Each location has its own number, diary and team routing, with the same scripts and follow-up, and every enquiry lands in one CRM tagged by branch.
Aim: the same enquiry handling at every location
Leads from Google, Meta or website forms get a first message automatically, then a short sequence by SMS, email or WhatsApp, with the source written into the CRM.
Aim: ad leads contacted without waiting for someone to be free
How we work
You hear the receptionist on a test line and try the chatbot yourself before any customer does.
We look at how calls and messages reach you now, where they go unanswered and what a good outcome looks like for each type of enquiry.
We agree what the AI handles, what always goes to a person, which systems it connects to and how many locations are included, with scope and exclusions in writing.
We write the call flows, chatbot answers, qualifying questions and follow-up messages. You approve them before anything is built.
We connect your phone line, website, WhatsApp, calendar and CRM, and set up recording, retention and data handling the way you choose.
We test on realistic calls and messages, including awkward ones, and fix what it gets wrong. You and your team test it too.
It often goes live out of hours first. Each month we review transcripts and results with you and adjust what needs changing.

Messaging APIs send the follow-up, and CRM and calendar APIs log and book. We choose each part for your volumes, budget and data requirements.

Reviewing transcripts and conversations, updating what the AI knows, adjusting scripts and follow-up messages, and checking the connections to your phone line, calendar and CRM are working. Exactly what is included is set out in your quote.
Usually a branch, practice or office with its own phone number, diary and team. If your business does not split neatly that way, we agree how it is counted in the written quote before you commit.
Yes. Your number stays with your current provider and calls are forwarded to the AI only when you choose. We connect to the CRM you already use, such as HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive or Zoho CRM, as long as it has an API we can work with.
Yes. If phone calls are the main problem, the AI receptionist on its own starts from £1,500 setup plus from £150 a month. If WhatsApp is the main channel, the WhatsApp chatbot starts from £4,000 setup plus from £200 a month. You can add the other parts later.
Yes. We recommend it says so at the start of every call and chat, because being upfront builds trust. Customers can ask for a person at any point, and the conversation is passed to your team when they do.
You set the rules. Urgent, sensitive or complex enquiries are transferred or passed to the person you choose with a written summary. When nobody is free, the AI takes the details and alerts your team so someone can call back.
It can be built to support UK GDPR requirements, but compliance depends on how it is used. Callers are told they are speaking to an AI, recordings and data are kept only as you decide, and data processing terms are agreed in writing.
It depends on how many channels and systems are involved, and the timeline is set out in your written quote. For comparison, the AI receptionist on its own typically takes two to four weeks from discovery to live calls.
