A managed AI receptionist for small business UK, trained on your actual services and pricing. Six languages bundled standard from £497/month, typically live in about 14 days.
Built by the team behind Eldris — the multilingual compliance platform serving UK businesses across the EU since 2024.
No form. No gatekeeper. Call it and ask it anything.
A2 · The Difference
Most AI receptionist products are message-takers with a script. Eldris Voice is an operator that quotes live prices, answers technical service questions, books only qualified clients, and handles six languages without a surcharge.
Eldris Voice
No form. No gatekeeper. Ask it anything.
A3 · Who it's for
If missed calls mean lost revenue and your clients call in more than one language, you are the buyer. The Federation of Small Businesses confirms SMEs account for three fifths of UK private-sector employment — and phone remains the primary channel for high-value enquiries.
Not the right fit? If you want a £99/month message-taker or a developer platform to configure yourself, there are good options — we are not one of them.
Missed calls = lost revenue
For property agents, translation agencies, clinics, law firms, and consultancies where the phone is a direct revenue channel.
International already, or intending to be
Native English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Mandarin. No surcharge, no upgrade tier, no multilingual add-on.
The hire you cannot find
Anchor against a £35–50k multilingual senior. We build the equivalent in about 14 days — monthly fee, not annual salary.
A4 · How it works
Instant pickup, automatic language detection from the first sentence. No menu tree, no language prompt, no dead air.
Live pricing, service-specific answers, the same information your senior staff would cite — pulled from your systems at call time.
Qualified callers land in the diary with transcript and context attached. Edge cases reach a human with the conversation so far.
A5 · Capabilities
Every capability below is demonstrable on the live demo line right now — not a roadmap item.
Try any capability in the list. No form, no gatekeeper.
The agent pulls pricing from your website or booking platform at call time — not a static list trained in last month.
Trained on your catalogue, policies, and FAQs during onboarding. Not a generic script with your name swapped in.
Qualifies intent against your own criteria during the call. Only booked calls reach the diary.
A caller opens in French, swaps to English halfway through. So does the agent, without asking them to start over.
Routine questions do not reach you. Edge cases do, with full transcript attached.
Every call the agent could not fully answer is reviewed by our team and fed back into training within days.
A6 · Six languages bundled
A multilingual AI receptionist is the hardest thing to buy in this category, which is why most competitors charge extra for a single second language. We bundle six in the base plan.
The multilingual infrastructure was built for Eldris, the sister compliance platform handling French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Chinese inbound every working day across the EU. Voice is that same capability, exposed over phone instead of web. See how we handle six languages natively for the full technical breakdown.
Need a seventh or eighth language? Available on Scale and Enterprise tiers.
A7 · Domain training
We audit your services, pricing, policies, and FAQs.
Discovery call plus structured intake of your booking system and top fifty caller questions.
We train the agent on your actual business, not a script.
Your real catalogue, edge cases, and tone — no generic template with your name swapped in.
We test against real caller scenarios before you go live.
You sign off against a scenario matrix before the number is switched over.
Honest edges: timelines shift with integration complexity. A new booking system or a regulated vertical can add a week or two, confirmed in writing at contract, never sprung on you later.
A8 · Pricing
A multilingual senior employee in the UK costs £35,000–£50,000 per year in salary alone — before recruitment, training, pension, or leave cover. Every tier below is a fraction of that, monthly, fully managed, ready for calls in six languages.

Three quick clarifiers
Yes. Setup is billed once, at contract, and covers discovery, domain training, scenario testing, and cutover. Monthly fees begin on go-live.
Overage is billed at a transparent per-minute rate published on the pricing page. No surprise invoices, no per-minute default billing.
Upgrade any time, pro-rated. Downgrade at the end of each three-month period. No penalty escalator.
Typical build: about 14 days from contract to live calls. Timelines vary with integration complexity, confirmed during onboarding.
A9 · Objections
The concerns buyers raise most often, answered without hedging. If your question is not here, call the demo line and ask it directly.
The voices we deploy are high-fidelity and conversational, tuned per client. Call the demo line and judge for yourself — no form to fill in first.
It hands over to your team with full context, by transfer in-call or by callback — your preference. Escalation is the exception, not the pattern.
UK-hosted, encrypted at rest, client-isolated, never used to train third-party models. Personal data handling follows ICO guidance for small businesses. A DPA template is provided at contract.
The agent identifies itself transparently on request and transfers to a human without friction. Most callers do not ask.
About 14 days typically, depending on integration complexity. Timeline confirmed in writing at contract — never moved once signed.
Monthly rolling after the initial three-month term. No lock-in, no penalty escalator.
Works alongside existing phone systems via call forwarding. HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, and Zoho integrations come with Growth and above.

Your case study sits here when we go live together.
A11 · Verticals
Every vertical has its own vocabulary, its own booking logic, its own edge cases. We build to fit.
Prime London agents handle Mandarin, Arabic, Russian, and European buyer flow daily. We answer in their language, quote live stock, and book viewings straight into Reapit or Alto.

Ten questions buyers ask before they commit — answered plainly, with commercial implications spelled out.
An AI receptionist costs between £497 and £1,497 per month with Eldris Voice, plus a one-off setup fee from £497. Commodity competitors start around £99/month but handle messages only — not live pricing or qualified booking.
An AI agent costs £497 per month at the Starter tier with Eldris Voice, scaling to £1,497 at Scale. The AI receptionist cost per month is fixed, with monthly call-minute caps published on the pricing page — no per-minute surprise billing.
The best AI receptionist for small business UK depends on whether the phone is for message-taking or revenue. Eldris Voice is domain-trained on your services, bundles six languages standard, and is managed end-to-end from £497 per month. Commodity tools start cheaper but cannot quote live prices or qualify callers.
Yes, an AI receptionist can handle calls end-to-end when trained on the business properly. Eldris Voice answers in three seconds, quotes live prices, qualifies callers, and books into your calendar. It escalates only on edge cases.
A commodity AI receptionist works for message-taking; a domain-trained one works for revenue. The difference is whether the agent knows your pricing, services, and booking rules on day one.
An AI receptionist is a good idea for any UK business losing revenue to missed calls or paying overtime for multilingual coverage. It is a poor idea if your volume is negligible or callers need deep human empathy. For most commercial front lines, it pays back within weeks.
Yes — Eldris Voice answers customer service calls in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Mandarin natively, switching mid-call with the caller. A multilingual AI receptionist trained on your services removes the need to hire separate language-specific staff.
Real-time translation exists, but Eldris Voice does not use it. The agent speaks each language natively end-to-end — no translation lag, no "one moment please, I will fetch someone". Native handling produces a cleaner call than layered translation.
Dialzara and MyAIFrontDesk are DIY configuration platforms at the commodity end. Smith.ai is hybrid human-and-AI at $300–$1,900 per month. Eldris Voice is managed, domain-trained, UK-hosted, and bundles six languages with no surcharge.
The agent is trained on your actual business — services, pricing, policies, edge cases, and tone — during a roughly 14-day build. No generic script with your name swapped in. The weekly gap-fill loop keeps it current.
Founder A13 · Founder note
I started Eldris after 20+ years running and advising UK businesses. Within six months we were taking inbound calls in French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Mandarin — and I was personally fielding most of them, badly, between meetings. A proper multilingual hire was £35–50k, and the right candidate did not exist in the local market.
So we built the operator ourselves, trained it on our services, and now it runs our front line in six languages. Eldris Voice is that same system, productised. Call the demo line, listen to it work, then book a call with me directly.
— Mark Ritson, Founder
