AI receptionist for small business: calls, bookings and handoffs
What an AI receptionist does on a real call, the rules that apply, a sample greeting and a pass/fail checklist to launch one safely.
Registration, ticketing and event-logistics questions get answered instantly before and during the event, when your inbox peaks hardest.
The days before an event bring a flood of the same questions: where is my ticket, what time do doors open, is there parking. This edition answers registration, ticketing and logistics questions from your event platform data, at any hour, and handles the rush right before doors open. Your team stays free for speakers, sponsors and the guests who need a person.

AI Customer Support Agent for Events answers registration, ticketing and event-logistics questions, such as venue details, timing and access requirements, from your event platform data, and handles the volume spike that hits right before doors open. Requests outside your rules reach your team with the full conversation.
Event teams are at their busiest exactly when attendee questions peak. Every unanswered message about a ticket or an entrance becomes a frustrated guest at the door or a call to an already stretched team. This edition takes the repetitive questions off your hands before and during the event, using your own agenda and ticket data, so your people can focus on running a great day. The scope lists the platforms, channels and handoff rules before you order, so you can plan it into your event timeline.
The agent absorbs the rush of registration, ticketing and timing questions from your event platform data. It answers on your agreed channel while your team focuses on getting the venue ready.
Logistics questions such as venue details, timing and access requirements are answered from up to 100 of your documents. Everyone gets the same accurate information, drawn from what you publish.
Requests outside your rules, such as unusual ticket transfers, reach your team with the full conversation. The Events workflow template sets what the agent may change and what it must pass on.
Your portal lists these the moment you order. Delivery starts the working day after everything is in and your access is checked.
| Option | Delivery time | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 20–30 working days | $7,400 |
| Express | 15–25 working days | $8,500 |
| Rush | 10–20 working days | $9,600 |
Before you start: Pull message volume and reply times for your last comparable event, especially the final day before doors open.
These are things to track, not promised results. Outcomes depend on your data, your team and your market.
The build price is one-time. Running it costs roughly $50 to $250 a month in your own accounts for AI model usage and hosting, on top of your existing event-platform plan.
AI usage during the build and testing is billed the same way, in your own accounts, so every provider relationship stays yours.
Ask about running costsIf you need simultaneous multi-event support, more than two connected systems, or support in more than one language, add a note at checkout for a written Change Quote. Larger or bespoke projects go through the Custom AI request form instead.
Request a custom versionAfter launch, monthly maintenance keeps the build current as your business changes. It covers monitoring, fixes, updates, a health report and change hours for things such as an updated agenda or new sponsor tiers ahead of your next event. It starts after the post-launch support period, bills monthly and can be cancelled any month. Unused hours do not roll over.
$370/mo (5% of the build price a month, includes 3 change hours)
Optional. Starts after the post-launch support period. Cancel any month.
How maintenance works| Do it yourself with a SaaS tool | Hire a custom agency | Upmark Labs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | An event-chat widget bills a monthly per-event fee | An event-support agency quotes a per-event staffing rate | Ours is one fixed price, shown on this page before you buy |
| Volume spikes | A generic widget slows or queues under heavy load | An agency adds temporary staff at extra cost | Ours handles the same pre-event spike without added cost or delay |
| Registration status | Most widgets can't check a specific registration | An agent looks it up manually in the platform | Ours checks live status directly in your event platform |
| Delivery | A widget can turn on in a day but needs weeks of tuning | An agency usually takes weeks to staff up | Ours has a fixed delivery time shown before you buy, with faster options |
Yes, that's the scenario it's built for. It answers the same registration and logistics questions whether ten attendees message in a week or a thousand message in the final 48 hours, with no added delay or staffing cost. This is the peak-load problem most event teams struggle with most.
Yes, connected to your event platform such as Eventbrite or Cvent with read access. An attendee asking whether their registration went through or what ticket type they hold gets the real answer from live data. If the platform can't confirm it, the request routes to a person with the details attached.
Yes. It's trained on sponsor and exhibitor documentation, such as booth logistics and sponsorship-tier benefits, as a distinct track from attendee-facing content, so a sponsor gets answers relevant to their agreement rather than general attendee information. This keeps sponsor conversations sharply focused on what their signed contract actually covers.
Roughly $50 to $250 a month in your own accounts for AI model usage and hosting, on top of your existing event-platform plan. You pay these directly to each provider. Monthly maintenance is optional if you want ongoing changes made for you.
Delivery follows the fixed timeline shown in the delivery panel, counted from a verified intake, with express and rush options for a fee. The clock starts once your event platform access, agenda and ticket details are confirmed, so order well ahead of your event date and leave room for testing.
The base build is scoped around one event or one recurring event series with a consistent structure. Simultaneous support across genuinely separate, overlapping events is treated as a Change Quote, priced and agreed before that additional scope is built. That keeps pricing fair for organizers running a single annual conference.
Yes. Every event-platform and CRM credential is shared by adding our team as a user or creating a key you control, never sent by email, and it only reads or writes within the access limits your playbook defines. Attendee records and conversation transcripts stay stored in your own event platform, not with us, so payment details never leave your organizing team.
Order the AI Customer Support Agent for Events and handle the pre-event rush without adding temporary staff. Platforms and handoffs are agreed in writing before you pay.
