LiveThe AI phone answers inbound calls, qualifies them using company rules and records callback needs.
From call to next step
What happens after the call?
A customer asks about a bathroom renovation. After the call, your team needs the contact details, requested scope and a clear next step. Griffi carries the enquiry through to a reviewable quote draft.

How to read these figures
The time reduction comes from one pilot client’s reported before-and-after comparison for receipt administration, rounded to a whole percentage. The effort depends on document volume and workflow.
Usage figures are a snapshot on 4 September 2026 for 1 July – 4 September 2026: reply drafts visible in the inbox and invoices issued in Griffi. Drafts are prepared replies; issued invoices do not establish delivery or payment.
Additional records: 18 calls with a recorded positive connected duration in the carpentry pilot during 2 – 4 September 2026. Snapshot: 4 September 2026. Answered connections do not establish that enquiries were fully resolved or that human callbacks were avoided.
Report from the carpentry pilot dated 5 September 2026: 120 unanswered voicemail messages in 1 week before Griffi, 0 outstanding messages with Griffi and a reply to every customer within 24 hours.

Categories, not vendor comparisons
Which work model covers which part of the chain?

For your decision
Turn the conversation into a reviewable next task.
Check three things after every call: can the team find the request and missing details, is the next action clear, and does professional approval remain with the team? That is how call answering becomes a workable case.
