How it works

Four steps to going live

1At your place

We come to you

We spend an hour with you learning how the business actually runs. That detail is what makes an agent good, and it never comes out over a video call.

2Our desk

We build it to that

It gets built on your services and your prices, plus the rules about what it must never decide on its own.

3Going live

You switch it on

You choose which of your channels it answers, whether that is the phone, web forms, WhatsApp or the website, and from then on those enquiries land with the agent instead of a voicemail.

4Every day after

Each one arrives in your inbox and your diary, with what was said on the call and what happens next.

Privacy and compliance

Handled before you ask

Every build ships with all of this. None of it is an upgrade or an add on.

Built in

Your callers' data is locked down

Encrypted in transit and at rest, and handled under UK GDPR. You get a data processing agreement in writing before anybody signs anything.

Every call

Callers are told it is recorded

It is the first thing they hear, said plainly, rather than buried in a policy page.

Straight answer

Ask what it is and it tells you

It then carries on helping. Most callers simply want the question they rang about answered.

Retention

Recordings gone in 90 days

Ninety days is the default and you can shorten it. You also decide what gets captured in the first place.

Escape hatch

A human is one sentence away

Ask for a person and the agent puts you through. There is no stalling and no menu to work around.

Cost
From£149/mo

There is a build fee on top. We scope that for your business rather than publish a figure, because a single answering line and a full ordering system are very different pieces of work. If you want something simpler you set up yourself, VoiceDart Go starts at £49.

Questions

What Portsmouth businesses ask

Do you actually come out, or is this all remote?

We come out. Portsmouth is half an hour from us, so scoping happens at your place rather than over a video call.

Have you got clients in Portsmouth?

Not yet, and I would rather say that than dress it up. Our live lines are in Southampton and around Hampshire, and one of them is a venue you can ring yourself before you decide anything.

What about the student lets in September?

That is exactly the week this earns its money. The agent takes the same volume at eight in the evening as it does at eleven in the morning, and the fortieth identical question gets the same answer as the first.

Can we keep the number we already advertise?

Yes, and most people do. You divert your 023 number and nothing on the van or the website has to change.

Will people know it is not a person?

Yes. The call opens by saying it may be recorded, and anybody who asks what they are speaking to gets told. We do not build agents that pretend to be staff.

How much does an AI voice agent cost in Portsmouth?

From £149 a month for a bespoke voice agent, which covers the calls, the web-lead callbacks and WhatsApp on one line. The build is scoped and quoted for your business rather than sold as a fixed package, and there is no long contract.

How is this different from an off-the-shelf AI phone tool?

Most of those take a message and text it to you. Ours answers every call, day and night, then does the rest of the job. It qualifies the caller, books the job into your diary, rings web leads back within seconds and updates the systems you already use. It is built around your business, so it sounds like you rather than like a switchboard.

Is there an AI voice agent company in Portsmouth?

The nearest one you can actually meet is us. VoiceDart is based in Southampton, we build bespoke AI voice agents for Portsmouth businesses, and we come out to scope the agent with you rather than doing it all by email.

Who should not buy this?

Anyone whose phone rings twice a week. The build is scoped to your business and that is not cheap to justify on that volume, so we will say so rather than sell you one. If you want something simpler you set up yourself, VoiceDart Go starts at £49.

Want to hear one for yourself?

Book a short call and we will go through what an agent would do for your business. Or talk to one of ours first.
