What is AI Phone Answering?
AI phone answering is an intelligent virtual receptionist service that uses advanced artificial intelligence to handle your business phone calls 24/7. Unlike traditional voicemail—where 80% of callers hang up without leaving a message—AI phone answering engages every caller with natural, human-like conversation.
For Canadian businesses, AI phone answering solves a critical problem: missed opportunities. Every unanswered call is a potential customer choosing your competitor. Every voicemail is a delayed response that costs you business.
Dialbox's AI phone answering service is purpose-built for the Canadian market with features that matter to Canadian businesses:
- Truly Bilingual: Fluent conversation in English and French, not just translation
- PIPEDA Compliant: Full compliance with Canadian privacy regulations
- Canadian Data Centers: Your data stays in Canada with local data sovereignty
- First Ring Pickup: Instant answer, zero wait time, no voicemail

What PIPEDA Compliance Means for Your Business
- Canadian Data Centers: All call recordings, transcripts, and customer data stored on Canadian servers

The AI is trained on your business information and can handle complex inquiries just like a human receptionist.
Is AI phone answering really bilingual in Canada?
Yes! Dialbox provides truly bilingual AI phone answering with fluent conversation capabilities in both English and French. Unlike simple translation services, our AI understands Canadian French terminology, regional accents, and can naturally switch between languages mid-conversation. This is essential for businesses serving bilingual markets in Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick, and across Canada.
Is AI phone answering PIPEDA compliant?
Absolutely. Dialbox is built with PIPEDA compliance at our core. All call recordings, transcripts, and customer data are stored in Canadian data centers, encrypted end-to-end, and never used for AI training. We follow transparent data practices and maintain data sovereignty—your information never leaves Canada. This makes Dialbox ideal for regulated industries like healthcare, legal, and financial services.
Can AI phone answering book appointments automatically?
Yes! Dialbox integrates directly with Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, and Calendly to book appointments in real-time during calls. The AI checks your availability, offers time slots, confirms appointments with callers, and adds them to your calendar—all without any manual intervention. This eliminates phone tag and ensures you never miss a booking opportunity.

What happens if the AI can't answer a question?
Dialbox's AI is designed to gracefully handle situations it's unsure about. If the AI encounters a question outside its knowledge or a complex situation requiring human judgment, it can transfer the call to you or a team member, take a detailed message with all relevant information, or schedule a callback. You maintain full control over which calls get transferred and when.
Can I keep my existing Canadian phone number?
Yes! You keep your existing business phone number. Simply set up call forwarding to your unique Dialbox number.
