Most tools answer the call. FrontIQ books the appointment, updates your system, and follows up.
Soon every AI receptionist will sound fine on a call. “Never miss a call” stops being a reason to pick one.
After hello, FrontIQ reads your calendar, applies your rules, books the slot, writes it back, and follows up. A generic answering layer hands all of that back to you.

Your rules, encoded once
The Skill knows your industry. The Flow knows your shop.
Write your rules in plain language. The agent follows them on every call, text, and chat — the same way, every time, at every location.
Already on Gingr, MoeGo, or a CRM? FrontIQ makes it do more.
Your system of record stores data.
It doesn't answer at 7 PM, book the slot, check the vaccine, and text the follow-up. That work stays manual.
FrontIQ is the layer that acts.
It reads your real calendar, books straight into your PMS, and writes every interaction back. You don't replace your stack — you finally automate the customer side of it.
No system yet? You don't need one.
The FrontIQ customer list builds itself from your first call — and plugs into a PMS the day you adopt one.
From your website to your first test call in under 10 minutes.
