What it does
Everything a great receptionist does, day and night.
Answers 24/7
Picks up on the first ring, day or night, so callers get a real answer instead of voicemail.
Books whatever you sell
Appointments, restaurant tables, takeaway orders and hotel rooms, against live availability, so it will not book a slot that is already taken.
Sounds human
Real-time, speech-to-speech voice that listens, answers, and holds a natural conversation.
Captures leads
Asks who is calling and what they are after, then logs it against the call, ready for you to ring back.
Human handoff
Sensitive, urgent or unhappy callers go straight to your team, with full context.
Answers WhatsApp & texts
Two-way AI chat on WhatsApp that books, reschedules and answers questions 24/7, and two-way SMS chat on text-enabled numbers (Growth and Pro). Text confirmations, reminders and missed-call text-backs come on every plan.
Spam blocking
Screens nuisance and repeat spam callers so your line stays clear for real customers.
Transcripts & dashboard
Calls transcribed and summarised, with the revenue Ringmere recovered for you.
British & compliant
Your customer records are stored in the UK, GDPR-ready, with the recording & AI disclosure on by default and every sub-processor named in our privacy policy.
Built for appointment businesses
Purpose-built for the businesses that live on their phone.
Why Ringmere
Can you trust it with your callers?
It never invents
Ringmere only ever uses the services, prices and answers you approve, never a made-up quote or policy.
Real calendar, no double-booking
It checks live availability at the moment of booking, so it will not hand two callers the same slot.
Safe with sensitive calls
Emergencies, complaints and vulnerable callers are escalated to a human immediately.
Compliant by design
Customer records stored in the UK, encryption, GDPR-readiness and the AI & recording disclosure switched on by default.
