AI Receptionist for MSPs
Create Tickets While Engineers Fix Problems
DeskCaller's AI receptionist for MSPs answers every helpdesk call 24/7, creates PSA tickets, triages P1-P4 incidents, escalates outages, and keeps engineers focused on technical work
The Problem
Every missed helpdesk call is an SLA already slipping.
MSPs need fast, structured, client-aware intake. Generic answering services cannot distinguish a P1 outage from a password reset, and voicemail creates risk instead of tickets.
After-hours outages hit voicemail
A server goes down at 2am, a premium client calls, and your response-time clock is already moving. If nobody answers, the renewal conversation gets harder long before the QBR.
Engineers become receptionists
Your best technical people spend billable hours asking for company names, error messages, screenshots, affected users, and whether someone has already restarted the device.
Thin tickets slow every fix
Tickets that say laptop broken or internet down force a callback before work can start. Poor intake costs time twice: once on the phone and again when the engineer has to reconstruct context.
MSP-Specific Features
Built for helpdesk and SLA workflows.
DeskCaller is not just a message taker. It structures intake, creates the ticket, protects escalation rules, and keeps engineers out of reception work.
Automatic PSA Ticket Creation
Create tickets with caller, company, contact, affected system, symptoms, priority, category, and custom fields in your PSA or helpdesk.
SLA Priority Escalation
Classify P1, P2, P3, and P4 incidents from caller context, then route according to your response commitments and escalation matrix.
Client-Aware Call Handling
Identify the calling company, support tier, authorised contacts, VIP accounts, and business-hours versus 24/7 entitlement.
Outage Storm Absorption
Answer simultaneous calls when a client site goes down, add users to the open incident, and keep engineers focused on the root cause.
First-Line Troubleshooting Intake
Ask what changed, when it started, how many users are affected, error codes, device details, network status, and what was already tried.
On-Call Engineer Notifications
Escalate genuine emergencies by phone, SMS, email, Slack, or Microsoft Teams until the correct person acknowledges.
Sales Lead Capture
Separate support from prospects. Capture company size, current IT setup, pain points, budget range, and timeline for your BDM.
Security and Consent Workflow
Use clear AI disclosure, call-recording consent, encrypted transcripts, role-based access, and escalation rules for sensitive incidents.
Vendor and Spam Filtering
Screen cold calls, vendor pitches, and low-value interruptions so your dispatch line is reserved for clients and real opportunities.

DeskCaller AI
Thank you for calling Northbridge IT support. Are you calling about an existing client issue or a new enquiry?
Caller
Existing client. This is Renee from Brightwell Accountants. Nobody can access the file server.
DeskCaller AI
I can help triage that. Is every user affected, or only one device?
Caller
Everyone. We have payroll due in the morning and nobody can reach the shared drive.
DeskCaller AI
Understood. When did the issue start, and are email, internet, or Microsoft 365 also affected?
Caller
It started about 20 minutes ago. Email and internet are working. It looks like only the file server.
DeskCaller AI
This matches your P1 shared-server outage criteria. I am creating a ticket now and paging the on-call engineer with your company, affected system, impact, and callback number.
Caller
Thank you. Please have someone call me as soon as they can.

Trusted by MSP Teams
Tickets, not voicemails, at any hour.
"We were using senior engineers as a phone shield during outage mornings. DeskCaller now captures the first wave, opens tickets, and adds users to the same incident while the engineers fix the actual problem."
Martin Evans
Managed IT provider • Manchester
"The biggest win is after-hours discipline. P1s wake the on-call engineer. Password resets and low-impact requests become tickets for morning. Our team is less burnt out and clients still get an immediate answer."
Aisha Coleman
Cybersecurity-focused MSP • London
"Our sales calls used to get mixed into the support queue. Now prospects are identified, qualified, and pushed to HubSpot with clean notes. We stopped losing new business because dispatch was busy."
