Does anyone use RingCentral's AI Receptionist for their business?

Does anyone have experience with Ring Central phone system and their AI secretary?

I am looking for a way to streamline calls being directed to their correct departments without me having to answer and forward the calls myself.

    The handoff matters more than the greeting. I’ve lived the 7 a.m. voicemail pile, and the setup only helped when it captured the reason for the call, urgency, service area, and best callback window—then created a task or booking request instead of leaving a message someone had to reconstruct.

     

    I’d separate routing from booking. Let the system handle overflow and nights first, keep a human fallback for anything nuanced, and review a few transcripts each week. Measure missed calls and next-day admin for a couple of weeks before expanding. If it can’t reliably capture the basics, it’s just a nicer voicemail

    We do yes.  You can program this into the system.  Ask the customer what they are calling for and direct them to that person.
