What Aether does on every call
The work of a great front desk, on every line, at any hour.
Answers in your name, day and night
Picks up every call with your greeting, including after hours, weekends and when the front desk is busy. Callers are told up front they're speaking with a virtual assistant.
Knows who's calling
Recognises returning callers by their number and picks up where you left off: upcoming appointments, last conversation, anything you promised.
Answers only from what you approve
Prices, hours, policies and services come from answers you write. When a question isn't covered, it says it will check and puts the question in your task list.
Books into your real calendar
Offers open times that fit your hours, service lengths and buffers, then books, reschedules or cancels. No double bookings.
Hands over with context
Urgent or complex calls go to the right person on your team, with a spoken summary of who's calling, why, and how urgent it is.
Takes messages and callbacks
When nobody's free, it takes a clear message or schedules a callback, so it lands in your dashboard as a task instead of a voicemail.

Built to be trusted with your customers
Honest about being AI
Every call opens with a fixed disclosure that the caller is speaking with a virtual assistant and the call may be recorded.
No invented answers
It never guesses prices, availability or advice. Anything outside your approved answers becomes a task for your team.
“Don't call me” is final
Opt-out requests are handled by fixed rules, not the AI: recorded with a timestamp and enforced across every channel.
Your data, your records
Contacts, transcripts and consent records live in your Aether account, with an audit trail of every action taken.
Live in days, not months
We set it up with you. You don't need new phones, new software or a new number.
