Answers to the most common questions about our AI receptionist, pricing, setup, and how it captures revenue from every missed call.
What is DeskZero?
DeskZero is an AI-powered receptionist that answers your business phone calls 24/7. It handles after-hours inquiries, books appointments, answers common questions, and captures leads that would otherwise go to voicemail. Think of it as a tireless front-desk employee that never misses a call.
How does DeskZero work?
When a customer calls your business and no one picks up, DeskZero answers with a natural AI voice. It greets the caller, answers their questions using your business information, books appointments on your calendar, and sends you a summary of every conversation. Setup takes about 5 minutes — you provide your business details, and DeskZero handles the rest.
How much does DeskZero cost?
DeskZero starts at $49/month with no setup fees, no per-call charges, and no long-term contracts. That's less than the revenue lost from a single missed call. See full pricing details →
What types of businesses use DeskZero?
Any service business that loses revenue from missed calls. Our most popular industries include dental practices, HVAC companies, salons and spas, law firms, medical offices, plumbers, electricians, and real estate agencies. If your customers call to book appointments or ask questions, DeskZero works for you.
Can DeskZero book appointments?
Yes. DeskZero integrates with popular calendar and scheduling tools to book appointments in real-time. Callers pick an available time slot, get instant confirmation, and the appointment appears on your calendar automatically. No double-bookings, no back-and-forth.
Does DeskZero work after hours?
Absolutely — that's the whole point. DeskZero answers calls 24/7, including evenings, weekends, and holidays. Most businesses miss 30% or more of their calls outside business hours. DeskZero captures every single one.
How is DeskZero different from a live answering service?
Live answering services charge $1-3 per call, use human operators who don't know your business, and still miss calls during peak times. DeskZero costs a flat monthly fee regardless of call volume, knows your business inside out (services, pricing, hours, FAQ), and never puts a caller on hold. It's faster, cheaper, and more knowledgeable than a call center. Read the full comparison →
How much do missed calls cost my business?
Research shows 85% of callers who reach voicemail won't call back — they call a competitor instead. For most service businesses, each missed call represents $200-750 in lost revenue. At 30+ missed calls per month, that's $72,000-$270,000 in annual revenue walking out the door. See the full breakdown →

How long does setup take?
About 5 minutes. You enter your business name, services, hours, and any common questions your customers ask. DeskZero uses this to handle calls accurately from day one. No hardware to install, no phone system changes, no IT department required.
Does DeskZero integrate with my calendar or CRM?
Yes. DeskZero integrates with popular calendar platforms to book appointments in real-time, and can sync with CRM systems to log call details and new leads automatically. Every conversation is captured so nothing falls through the cracks.
What happens if the AI can't answer a question?
If DeskZero encounters a question it can't confidently answer, it lets the caller know someone will follow up, captures their contact information and the question details, and sends you an immediate notification. The caller always gets a clear next step — never a dead end.
Is my data secure?
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We don't sell or share your business information or customer call data with third parties. Access is restricted to your account only. We take security seriously because your customers' trust depends on it.
