  1. Tessa · AI receptionist

    Hi, you've reached Fieldwork Studio. I'm Tessa, the AI receptionist. How can I help?

  2. Jess · Customer

    I need a new logo and website. What does a consultation cost?

  3. Tessa · AI receptionist

    It's a hundred and twenty dollars for thirty minutes. We'll discuss your ideas and what the project involves.

  4. Jess · Customer

    Sounds good. Have you got anything Tuesday?

  5. Tessa · AI receptionist

    Tuesday at eleven is available. Does that suit?

  6. Jess · Customer

    Actually, I can't do Tuesday. Could we make it Thursday?

  7. Tessa · AI receptionist

    Of course. Thursday at eleven is available too. Can I take your name and email?

  8. Jess · Customer

    Jess. It's jess at example dot com. Thursday at eleven works.

  9. Tessa · AI receptionist

    You're booked for Thursday at eleven. I've noted the logo and website so the team knows what you'd like to discuss.

    Real replies from a controlled test with a fictional business, September 2026. Not a customer call.

    Transcript and test details

    Recorded September 24, 2026. We gave Bludge a fictional air-conditioning business, Fern Air, and asked about services, hours and prices. Its replies are joined together; the caller questions are below.

    Caller
    Hi, do you repair split system air conditioners, and what time are you open?
    Bludge
    Yes, we repair split systems. Our hours are Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm.
    Caller
    How much does a repair cost? Can you book me in for tomorrow?
    Bludge
    I do not know the cost of a repair. This is a preview, so I cannot book appointments.

    The recording begins with Bludge identifying itself as AI and naming the fictional business. Synthetic caller audio; no customer call or booking. Playback gaps are removed. One controlled test, not phone-network latency or a customer testimonial.

Usually, through call forwarding. We’ll help check the options with your phone provider.

Will my customers mind talking to AI?

Bludge introduces itself as AI. You choose when it should put a call through or take a message. Hear an example, then test it with the questions your customers ask.

Does it make up answers?

It uses your business information and is instructed to say when it doesn’t know. AI can make mistakes: test your setup and keep important decisions with your team.
