How it works

You keep working. Polyvo picks up.

Forward your business number to Polyvo when you're busy, after hours, or all the time. You choose.

  1. A customer calls

    You're with a customer, on site or driving. If you don't pick up within 15 seconds (you choose 5 to 30), Polyvo answers. Decline a call and it answers straight away.

  2. Polyvo answers in their language

    English, Mandarin, Hindi, Punjabi, Korean and more. It gets their name, number, what they need, where and how urgent. Online booking is coming soon.

  3. You get a text in your language

    A short summary arrives in the language you read best, a minute after the call. Call them back when it suits you.

Voice and languages

Your receptionist, your choice of voice.

Polyvo uses natural-sounding AI voices. It's not a recording of a real person, and it always tells callers it's an AI assistant for your business.

Pick the voice

Choose Hana (female) or Leo (male), more voices and tones are coming soon. It greets callers with your business name. You can swap any time.

Callers just speak

Polyvo greets in English. If the caller answers in Mandarin, Hindi, Punjabi, Korean or another language, it switches to that language for the rest of the call. Nobody has to press a button.

Change your language any time

Pick the language you want your texts in when you join. Want it changed later, say from Hindi to English? Just tell us, and it switches from the next call.

FAQ

Good questions.

Do callers know they're talking to an AI?

Yes. Polyvo says at the start of every call that it's an AI assistant for your business and that the call may be recorded. We think honesty keeps callers on the line. Anyone can ask to leave a message for you instead.

Are calls recorded? What about privacy?

Calls may be recorded and transcribed so we can send you an accurate summary. We follow the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020: we only collect what's needed to handle the call, keep it secure, never sell it, and you or your customers can ask to see, correct or delete it.

Do I need a new phone number?

No. Keep your number and set call forwarding to Polyvo: always, after hours, or only when you don't pick up. We help you set it up.

How long does it ring before Polyvo answers?

You decide. Your phone rings first, and if you don't pick up within 15 seconds (about 5 rings), the call goes to Polyvo. You can set anywhere from 5 to 30 seconds. Busy on another call, or pressed decline? Polyvo answers straight away. Phone off or no coverage? Polyvo answers too.

Whose voice is it?

A natural-sounding AI voice, not a real person's recording. You choose Hana (female) or Leo (male) and a tone, and you can change it any time.

Which languages does it speak?

Polyvo can talk with callers in many languages, including English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati, Tamil, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese and Filipino, and texts you in your choice of 20+ languages.

What happens with quote follow-ups? Will it annoy my customers?

Quote follow-ups are coming soon. When they launch: only three gentle touches after you send a quote: a text on day 3, a call on day 7 and a last text on day 14. Every text lets the customer reply STOP to opt out, and it stops straight away.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time. No setup fee and no lock-in contract. Founding members keep the $79 price for their first 12 months.

When can I start?

We're onboarding a small group of founding members first, from every kind of business. Join the list and we'll be in touch personally to set up your free trial.
