« 35% of our leads come from calls outside business hours. We were losing all of them. »
Voicemail doesn't convert

Evening calls are high-intent
Someone calling at 9pm has an immediate need.
Weekend opportunities lost
Saturday and Sunday calls are significant new business.
Outsourced reception vs AI phone system

Sync your calendar, book appointments during the call
Connect your Google Calendar: the phone assistant knows your after-hours calls availability in real time, offers time slots and confirms the appointment without any callback from you.
Calendar sync
Connect Google Calendar in a few clicks. Existing events are taken into account, so double bookings never happen.
Live slot suggestions
During the call, the assistant reads your real availability and offers the next slots that fit your opening hours and service durations.
Your rules, your limits
Appointment types, durations, minimum notice, allowed windows: you set the frame. Choose firm confirmation or pre-booking pending your approval.
Automatic confirmation
The appointment lands in your calendar, is summarised in the qualified call and your team is notified by email or SMS.
Sample call
"I can offer you Thursday 2:30pm or Friday 9:00am. Does Thursday 2:30pm work? Great, it is booked — you will get a confirmation by text."
And everything flows back into your tools
The appointment lands in your calendar, the request in your CRM, and your call statistics are available inside ChatGPT.
Real-world example
Situation
A prospect calls at 9pm on Sunday about a project starting this week.
With Kalyvox
The AI qualifies the request and sends you a notification. You call back Monday with full context.
