Module

An AI phone assistant
that runs inside your company.

It answers calls through your phone system, replies from your approved documents with a source and hands over to your team – included in the package price, with no per-minute fee.

Example call to a building services firm's customer line: the assistant opens by saying that an AI is speaking. A caller asks what a heating service includes. The assistant searches the approved documents and answers with a source, the heating service description. It doesn't book appointments itself, so it creates a callback request for customer service, in the morning.

  • Picks up your calls

    As an extension of your phone system, after hours too.

  • Replies with a source

    Every answer comes from your approved documents.

  • Hands over to your team

    By transfer, callback or message.

After the call, it’s all on record.

Transcript, summary and next step reach your team right away. If nobody picks up, the callback is already on the list.

Processed on your own premises.

Speech recognition, language model and speech output run on the Lokalaise server, with no detour through a cloud AI. Text is stored, never audio – and you decide for how long.

On-premise or cloud: the difference.

An on-premise AI phone assistant processes speech, language model and knowledge on a server inside your own company. Cloud phone AI usually processes calls in the provider's data centres and often bills per minute.

Frequently asked questions about the phone assistant

Short answers. Everything else we cover in the live demo.

No. The phone assistant connects to your existing phone system as an additional extension. Your phone system routes the chosen number there and keeps its routing and fallback rules. We handle the setup together with your IT team or telephony provider.

Yes. Every call starts with the announcement “you're speaking with …'s AI assistant — an artificial intelligence” and a notice of what is stored. This announcement is built in. If the conversation switches language, the assistant repeats the disclosure, and it confirms it again when asked.

Then the assistant says so openly and offers to connect to the responsible person, book a callback or take a message. Factual answers come from the documents you released for that line. You define in advance which topics it covers.

There is no audio recording. Sound is processed during the call; the conversation text and a short summary are stored. You decide how long the transcript is kept, after which only the summary remains. You can also store only the summary from the start. The announcement tells callers what is stored.

Speech recognition, language model, speech output and knowledge run on the Lokalaise server in your company, not at a cloud provider. Text is stored instead of audio, retention is configurable, calls can be deleted per phone number, and every access to a record is logged. For the legal assessment with your data protection advisor, we supply the technical facts.

German and English. If a caller speaks the other enabled language, the assistant switches mid-call and repeats the AI disclosure in the new language.

It records the request as a callback or message for your team, with name, callback number read back, reason and preferred time window. Your team confirms the appointment, so your calendar stays in your hands.

Yes. The phone assistant is a Lokalaise module and included in the package price – no per-minute billing and no surcharge per line. Connecting it to your phone system is part of the one-off onboarding. The number of simultaneous calls grows with your hardware system.

If it recognises a gas smell, fire, a medical emergency or danger to life, it gives fixed safety guidance in a set order and names the emergency number. It never dials an emergency number itself and is not an emergency service. Afterwards it offers to connect the caller to a person on your team.

Callers simply say what it's about – no keypad menu. Text is stored instead of audio; voices are neither identified nor scored, and the record describes the call, not the performance of individual staff. Your team decides on prices, deadlines and contracts. The assistant takes calls and never calls anyone on its own. These rules are built in and make it predictable, for callers and for your team.

Offices whose phones rarely stop ringing. Typical lines are client service at an architecture firm, the main line at an engineering firm, maintenance and operations at a building services company and damage reports in property management. The assistant answers recurring questions from your documents, connects callers to the right person or creates a callback, a message or a case.
