I built an AI Receptionist with Grok Voice. Was it good enough?

If your business misses calls, you have probably been pitched an AI receptionist. I built one on Grok Voice 3.0, put it on my own website, and tested it on real-life calls to see whether it holds up. Find out where AI fits in your own business before you buy anything. Answer a few questions about how you work and the AI Opportunity Finder writes you a report: what to automate, what to keep with a person, and where to start. https://scribblewithai.com/ai-opportu... Talk to the AI receptionist from this video yourself. It lives on my services page: press Talk now and ask it anything. https://scribblewithai.com/services?u... What the video covers: How the receptionist works under the hood: your browser, a secure server in the middle, and Grok Voice answering. The browser never talks to Grok directly. Why speech-to-speech changes things: one model listens and replies, where older voice agents chained a transcription layer, a knowledge layer and text-to-speech. The settings behind it: voice, persona, greeting, the Cal.com event it books into, and the limits that stop people abusing it. A real call that answers questions and books a meeting into my calendar. Four tests: a noisy room, interrupting it, asking for a price, and an angry caller. How to put the same receptionist on a phone number with Twilio, Plivo or Exotel. The verdict: it answered questions and booked the call, heard me in a noisy room, and refused to quote a price, as it was told to. Interruptions need work: it kept talking over me. Whether it understood emotions is unclear.
