POCKETFAB • AI RECEPTIONIST

Meet Alissa.
A familiar voice.
Your business knowledge.

Give everyday questions a thoughtful first response. Alissa brings conversational AI, spoken answers, and company-approved information together in a receptionist application your team can manage.

Alissa has been successfully tested at PocketFab. The downloadable ALM edition will be ready soon.

KNOWLEDGE FIRST

Let her get to know your business.

Start with your verified information. Shape the answers, test the experience, and keep your team in control of what Alissa is told.

01

A voice for your business

Spoken greetings and AI-generated voice responses give Alissa a consistent presence. Preview her greeting and test answers before introducing callers.

02

Answers from approved knowledge

Maintain the company, product, sales, and service information Alissa uses. Save approved references for answers and keep draft material out of the conversation.

03

Conversations with context

Alissa uses earlier questions and replies within the same conversation to handle follow-up questions. Telephone conversations use spoken turns.

04

A place to prepare and test

Ask questions in the browser, use dictation where supported, listen to replies, stop playback, and clear the test conversation. Check known facts and questions outside her reference material.

05

Knowledge you can maintain

Organize references by General, Sales, and Service. Add source notes and verification dates so your team can review the information behind an answer.

06

A reviewed message inbox

An operator can capture contact details, inquiry type, and a reviewed summary from the browser console. Include the browser transcript when useful, then review, export, or delete saved messages.

07

Telephone integration

Successfully tested with inbound calls, spoken questions, voice replies, and follow-up context through the current Twilio integration. Customer deployment validation is part of the upcoming ALM edition.

08

Clear limits on what she knows

Alissa is instructed to acknowledge missing verified information instead of inventing a price, procedure, or completed action. Review answers against your business standards; AI output can still be wrong.

Know what is included today.

The current release has a private browser console and a controlled telephone integration. Browser message capture is manual; phone calls do not automatically create inbox messages. Call transfers, outbound calls, appointment booking, CRM actions, and automatic email notifications are not currently included.

The current voice and AI services use external providers. Alissa is a separate product from PocketFab’s on-premises AI platform.

SUCCESSFULLY TESTED • DOWNLOAD COMING SOON

The next step: Alissa’s downloadable ALM edition.

Alissa has been successfully tested at PocketFab. We are preparing that tested version for customer installation, with PocketFab license management (ALM). The downloadable ALM edition will be ready soon.

01 / RELEASE PLAN

Your business, configured for you

Preserve the tested receptionist and package it with customer-specific branding, approved knowledge, and configuration.

02 / RELEASE PLAN

Clear activation and license status

Add activation, renewal, and visible license status. Keep the right to use Alissa separate from eligibility for software updates.

03 / RELEASE PLAN

Your choice of payment plan

Offer the $995 purchase with a separate update plan, or $99 per month for 24 months with updates included throughout the contract.

04 / RELEASE PLAN

Installation and continuity checks

Validate activation, upgrades, expired licenses, and licensing outages. Verify that already active calls can finish without a licensing check interrupting them.

05 / RELEASE PLAN

A download with clear instructions

Publish the ALM edition after package validation, with installation instructions for customers and resellers.

These are the steps for the upcoming downloadable edition. The customer installation package is not yet available for download.

TWO WAYS TO GET STARTED

Your installation. Your choice.

01 / SELF-INSTALL

Install Alissa yourself.

Choose the self-install path if your team will handle setup, provider configuration, approved knowledge, and acceptance testing. The downloadable ALM edition is coming soon, with customer installation instructions. Contact PocketFab to discuss deployment requirements.

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED

A few useful answers.

What does Alissa use to answer questions?

Saved, approved reference material supplied by your team, together with conversation context. You can organize knowledge, record source notes, and test answers before expanding use. AI answers still need review.

Does the $99 contract include updates?

Yes. The $99.00 monthly price includes ongoing updates for the entire 24-month term. The product contract totals $2,376. After that term, continued updates are available at $49.99 monthly or $500 annually.

Can I install her myself?

Yes. Self-installation and installation through a PocketFab reseller are the two offered paths. Contact us to confirm release availability, deployment requirements, and the installation scope.

Can Alissa book appointments or transfer calls?

Those capabilities are not included in the current release. The present telephone integration handles conversational test calls. Browser messages are captured manually; phone calls do not automatically save callback requests.

Has Alissa been tested, and when can I download her?

Yes. Alissa has been successfully tested at PocketFab. The downloadable ALM edition will be ready soon. We are preparing customer configuration, activation and renewal, package validation, and installation instructions before publishing the download.

How will product licensing and updates work?

The ALM edition will track product entitlement separately from update entitlement. The $995 purchase has a separate update plan. The $99 monthly contract includes updates for all 24 months. Activation, renewal, and license status will be part of the downloadable edition.

Does Alissa run entirely on my local AI server?

The documented release uses hosted AI and voice providers and a telephone integration. It does not currently connect to PocketFab’s local AI server. Confirm data handling and provider requirements for your deployment.
