$0.08 a minute, with the phone call, the AI and a standard voice included, plus $15 a month per phone number. 300 calls a month at 3 minutes each is about $87 a month. New accounts start with 50,000 free tokens, about 625 minutes, with no credit card.

How fast does the AI receptionist answer?

On our live demo line the typical (median) time from the caller finishing a sentence to our reply starting is 162 milliseconds, measured across 1,048 turns on Oct 6–7, 2026. The voice then has to be generated and reach the phone, which adds to what the caller hears. Every call report shows the timing for each turn.

Can it answer questions about my business?

Yes. Load your documents into the knowledge base and the agent answers caller questions from them mid-call, then goes back to the script where it left off.

Can it transfer a caller to a person?

Yes. A transfer node hands the caller to a set number or one chosen during the call, announced or blind, with retries and a timeout you choose.

Komms · AI receptionist

An AI receptionist that answers every call for $0.08 a minute

A Komms agent answers every call, day or night, asks what the caller needs, answers common questions from your own documents, and then books, transfers or takes a message. It starts answering in a typical 162 milliseconds after the caller stops talking, and you pay for call minutes, not a receptionist seat.

Starts answering in a typical 162 ms

When a caller stops talking, Komms starts its reply in a median 162 milliseconds. We timed every turn on our live demo line, and every call report shows the timing, line by line.

Turns	Reply within
Half (median)	162 ms
75%	181 ms
90%	211 ms
95%	283 ms

Measured from the moment the caller finishes speaking to the moment our reply starts and goes to the voice: 1,048 live turns across 502 calls on the Komms demo line, Oct 6–7, 2026, from the Komms call logs. 86.5% of turns started within 200 ms. Generating the voice and carrying it over the phone network add to what the caller hears.
