Tools for buying and building an AI phone agent
Two things people ask us constantly: what will this actually cost, and what do I put in the prompt? Both now have a tool. Both are free, and neither asks for an email address first, because you should not have to trade contact details for a calculator.
We sell an AI receptionist, so we have a stake in what you conclude. The tools run on the numbers and answers you supply, and the prompt generator works with any voice platform, including ones that are not us.
AI receptionist prompt generator
Answer a few questions and get a complete system prompt: escalation triggers, spam screening, safety refusals and the UK emergency routing a phone agent needs.

Price a quote properly at your own call volume, including the rounding increment, patch-through fees and whether you get 12 invoices a year or 13.
Anyone comparing quotes from answering services or AI receptionists.The reasoning behind each one
Neither tool invents anything. The calculator uses published provider prices you can go and check, and the generator assembles rule blocks we have already published and defended in full. If you want the argument rather than the output, start here.
- AI receptionist vs answering service, priced properly is where the calculator's pricing mechanics come from.
- The 12 test calls and 24 questions to use before you buy is what to do once you have a shortlist.
- The restaurant system prompt and the plumbing one are the annotated worked examples the generator is built from.
