Keypad menus and call routing
A switch chose who answers incoming calls: the AI receptionist or a keypad menu with an owner-written greeting. Menu options mapped a digit to a phone number, a SIP address or the AI receptionist. Transfer rules told the receptionist which caller requests to send to which number, with take a message as the fallback. New numbers answered with the AI first. The feature sat in the Early Access tab and was open to every account.
Aura answers the phone
Aura became reachable by voice. Callers were recognized by phone number, and unknown numbers heard a short sign-up note instead of getting an account. Aura spoke a brief hold phrase before any lookup. An owner calling from their verified number got a personal assistant introduced by their receptionist's name, with full account tools. Phone access opened to pre-approved numbers in early access.
Run more than one business
An account could own several businesses. Owners with more than one switched between them from the account menu, on desktop and mobile. Settings split into user settings and business settings, and receptionist name, language, voice, first message and prompt moved into a Receptionist tab. A danger zone let owners delete a business, releasing its number.
Phone-only sign-in and text consent
Sign-in moved to a one-time code by phone only; the email option was removed. Signing in with an unknown number now said no account was found instead of creating one. The text-message opt-in at signup became optional, and it was the switch that turned on text alerts. Without it, alerts fell back to email.
Call log improvements
The call log scrolled endlessly instead of stopping at the first page. A completed call without a summary yet showed Summary will be available shortly, and late-arriving summaries were recovered. Unbilled calls were labeled Free call, and the billing page showed each business's included minutes.
Test calls to your own phone were free
Calling your own receptionist from your verified phone was no longer billed. The dashboard test call went out through the business's own number, so it followed the keypad menu when one was active and showed the business number as caller ID.
Languages curated, Punjabi voice added
The language list was trimmed to languages verified end to end, dropping Afrikaans, Bengali, Gujarati, Malayalam, Swahili and Telugu. Punjabi gained a native voice. Multi-language became a selectable language rather than a separate switch, and every voice carried a short description.
Connect AI tools over MCP
An MCP server let AI clients such as Claude Desktop work with an account using a personal access token. A public setup guide explained the endpoint, authentication and client configuration.
Behind the scenes. Every phone number now lives on the product's own telephony account, with the AI receptionist reached by forwarding from it.
