AI receptionist in Kolkata
Your Kolkata number, answered on the first ring.
FrontivaAI answers your business phone in Kolkata at 10 pm, on Sunday, and while your front desk is already on another call. It books into your real calendar, quotes only the prices you entered, confirms on WhatsApp with your Google Maps pin, and leaves a written transcript of every conversation. It works across Salt Lake, New Town, Ballygunge, Park Street, Behala and Howrah - the agent does not care which area you are in, only which services, hours and staff you loaded.

Before you buy in Kolkata: the honest fit check
Bengali is not supported, and in Kolkata that is the first thing to weigh. The agent does Hindi, Hinglish and English in full, which covers a large share of the city's business calls - clinics, coaching, brokers, professional offices - including a counter whose callers expect to be answered in Bengali. Test it on your own line and listen to who rings before you decide. We do not have a Kolkata customer to name yet.
- Hindi, Hinglish and English; Bengali is not supported
- No named Kolkata deployment yet
- Forward only after hours to start, and read the transcripts
- Setup is remote and takes about three days
What a Kolkata line sounds like
Bengali is the first thing to weigh, because it is not supported. Kolkata's professional offices, clinics and institutes run a large share of their calls in Hindi and English - both handled completely - but a neighbourhood counter whose callers open in Bengali and stay there is not a fit today, and we would rather say so. Kolkata's CA and law offices, with their January-to-March call spike, are the businesses that ring us most from the city.
Offices that still run on landlines
More Kolkata offices than anywhere else on this list still answer on a BSNL landline or an old EPABX. Forwarding works on those too, but the vendor sets it rather than you dialling a code, and it can take a day. We will speak to them directly; nothing else about your number changes.
Taking over a Kolkata number
Your number stays on the board and your Google listing. On a mobile, conditional forwarding in the Kolkata circle is the standard handset code on every operator; on a landline, see above. Forwarding on no-answer is the usual start.
Hear it before you decide
Ask for a test number on our contact form. When you ring it you will reach Aria, FrontivaAI's own receptionist. Tell her what kind of business you run in Kolkata, ask what it would cost, interrupt her, switch to Hindi halfway through a sentence, and ask for a person. She books a real slot and sends the WhatsApp confirmation - exactly what your callers would get, with your services and hours loaded instead of ours.
What it costs in Kolkata
Rs 7,000 a month including 1,000 connected voice minutes, then Rs 7 a minute; Rs 70,000 a year if paid annually. No setup fee. Setup is remote and takes about three days.
You can see everything it did
This is the part most voice AI does not give you, and it is the thing to ask every vendor you talk to. Every call is written down and kept: the full transcript both ways, the language it was held in, what was booked, how long it ran and what that minute cost. You can watch a call arrive live and read it filling in as it happens, or pull it onto your own phone mid-conversation. Two screens exist that we have not seen a competitor publish at all - What the AI Says, which shows the exact words the agent is allowed to use, assembled from the live configuration so it cannot drift from what actually runs; and What the AI Knows, the answer sheet you loaded. If it quotes a price on a call, you can see where it got it.
- Live Calls - watch a conversation as it happens, and take it over mid-call
- Call Logs - full transcript, language, outcome and duration, kept twelve months
- What the AI Says and What the AI Knows - the script and the answer sheet, both readable
- Minutes - what every call cost, to the paisa, with alerts at 80% and 95% of your plan
- Missed Calls and Booking Funnel - what used to be lost, and where bookings drop off now
- Staff and Availability, Holidays and Closures - change your hours at 9am and it is quoting them at 9:01

Frequently asked questions
Do you have Kolkata customers already?
Not one we can name yet. Our evidenced deployment is a dental clinic in Hyderabad. The demo number and a test on your own line are what we offer instead of a case study.
Does it speak Bengali?
No. Hindi, English, Telugu and Tamil. If most of your callers expect Bengali, this is the wrong product for you today.
Does it work with a BSNL landline?
Yes, once forwarding is set on the line by BSNL or your EPABX vendor. We will speak to them for you.
Can I keep my current number?
Yes. You forward it and keep advertising the number you already use, on your board and your Google listing. Nothing is ported.
How long until it is live?
About three days: we load your services, prices, hours and staff, provision the number and connect WhatsApp, then test with you before handover.
What does it cost?
Rs 7,000 a month including 1,000 voice minutes, then Rs 7 a minute.
Ask for a test number, or book a demo.
