RingCentral AI Receptionist brings a large phone vendor's compliance and routing to a $49 plan. The standalone license includes 100 minutes and works with any business phone system through call forwarding or SIP, so you do not need to switch carriers. It routes calls by name or intent to users, extensions, queues or outside numbers, hands off live with context, and supports multi-location setups with their own hours and location-aware answers. Setup imports your website or Google Business Profile, and the knowledge base takes unlimited document uploads. Appointment booking runs through Google, Outlook and Calendly or by SMS link, and leads sync to Salesforce, Zoho and HubSpot. The plan lists HIPAA and SOC 2 compliance, which matters for clinics. The limits are the small allowance and the overage: extra use costs $0.50 a minute, billed in 30-second increments, so a busy line should price a minute bundle.
