AI Front Desk

Help customers take the next step while your team is busy doing the work.

Give website visitors an approved answer, collect the context a person needs and hand the enquiry to somebody who owns the reply.

The situation

The website explains the service, but the same questions still arrive by message, phone or missed enquiry.

Your team repeats routine answers and reconstructs the visitor’s context before a useful conversation can begin.

What changesRoutine questions receive a bounded answer. Warm enquiries reach a named person with less context missing.
What Keystone sets up
01

An answer bank built from approved business information.

02

Handoff rules for uncertainty, urgency, complaints and customer commitments.

03

An enquiry route into the agreed inbox or CRM with source context attached.

One enquiry route
AI Front Desk: from visitor question to an owned replyQuestion → approved answer or handoff → enquiry context → owner → human reply
  1. 01Input
    A visitor asks

    A customer asks about the service, area, preparation, availability or next step.

  2. 02System
    Use approved information

    The assistant answers only from the material and boundaries the business has reviewed.

  3. 03Decision
    Know when to stop

    Uncertain, sensitive, urgent or bespoke questions go to a person with the conversation context attached.

  4. 04Human check
    Capture useful context

    With consent, the enquiry keeps the question, contact route, service and source page together.

  5. 05Verified state
    Give someone ownership

    The team receives a useful brief and a visible next action for a personal reply.

The customer experience

The assistant helps with the first question and makes the human conversation easier to continue.

Visitors can ask in their own words. If the answer is covered, they receive it. If the question needs judgement, the assistant gathers the useful details and explains that a person will take over.

Uses

Approved services, areas, preparation, policies and next-step information.

Captures

The visitor’s question, preferred reply route, service context and consent.

Hands off

Pricing decisions, complaints, sensitive requests, urgency and anything outside the answer bank.

Fit and boundaries

A useful front desk needs good source material and somebody responsible for the replies.

This fits a service business with recurring website questions, a known enquiry route and an owner who can approve the answer bank. It is a poor fit when the assistant would need to invent prices, diagnose regulated problems or make commitments nobody has approved.

Practical questions

What should you know before discussing the setup?

What can the AI Front Desk answer?

It can answer routine questions covered by material you have approved, such as services, areas, preparation, opening information and the next enquiry step. The exact answer set is agreed during setup.

What happens when the answer is uncertain?

The assistant stops and hands the question to a person with the conversation context attached. It does not invent a quote, availability, policy or promise.

Can it send enquiries into our CRM or inbox?

That can be included when the destination, fields, consent and ownership rules are agreed. The first conversation identifies the smallest useful handoff for your current setup.

Does it replace our team?

It handles the first layer of routine questions and context capture. Your team keeps responsibility for sensitive questions, judgement, commitments and customer follow-up.

What does it cost?

Keystone scopes the answer set, handoff and integrations before giving a written price. No public introductory price is shown until its scope and terms have been approved.
