What Answerley is
Answerley is a web-based AI answering service for small businesses. It answers calls around the clock in a business’s name and uses the business website to answer caller questions from its own content. It can take messages, capture appointment requests, qualify calls, and transfer urgent calls to a person. Connecting Google Calendar or Outlook lets it check availability and confirm an open appointment time. After each call, Answerley emails a summary with links to the transcript and recording. Robocalls and telemarketers are recognized and ended politely without counting against the allowance. Setup creates an editable profile from the website and allows browser or phone call tests before entering a card. Plans include Starter, Standard, and Pro, with 60, 150, and 400 answered calls respectively. Paid service starts at $49/mo, with a 14-day trial.
