Statewide, remote-first
AI Voice Receptionist for Florida Businesses
By Eliran Yihye, Founder
Published · Updated
Cuanto Labs builds an AI voice receptionist for Florida businesses: a custom voice agent that answers the phone, handles the questions you approve, books appointments and passes the call to a person when it should. A scoped voice agent starts at $5,000 fixed-price and typically ships in 2–6 weeks.
A missed call is often a missed customer, and most small teams cannot staff a phone around the clock. A voice receptionist covers the gaps: lunch, evenings, busy mornings and the hour a storm closes the office. It is not a replacement for your staff. It takes the routine calls so they can spend their time on the ones that need a person. We are based in Fort Lauderdale (mailing address 1314 E Las Olas Blvd) and work with companies across the state, in person in South Florida and remotely elsewhere.
How much does an AI voice receptionist cost in Florida?
A custom AI voice agent from Cuanto Labs starts at $5,000, fixed-price and written down before work begins. The final number depends on how many call types it handles and which systems it connects to. Telephony and model usage add a monthly running cost, which we estimate in the proposal.
How long does it take to set up an AI receptionist?
A scoped voice agent typically ships in 2–6 weeks. Most of that time goes to agreeing what it may say, connecting your calendar and testing real call scenarios. You hear working calls well before launch, and the proposal fixes both the price and the date before any work starts.
Which Florida businesses benefit most from an AI receptionist?
Businesses where the phone brings in work and nobody can always answer: law firms, medical and dental practices, insurance agencies, auto dealers, property managers and home-service companies. If callers usually ask the same few questions or want to book a time, a voice agent can take most of those calls.
What is the difference between an AI receptionist and an answering service?
An answering service uses people to take messages, usually at a per-minute fee. An AI receptionist answers instantly, books into your calendar, follows your rules and logs every call. Neither replaces your team. Many offices use the agent first and keep a human line for urgent or sensitive calls.
How do I choose an AI voice agent company in Florida?
Ask what the agent may and may not say, how it hands off, where call data is stored and who owns the prompts and accounts. Ask to hear a test call. With us, limits are agreed in writing first, every call is logged and the code and accounts transfer to you.

What we build for Florida businesses
Call answering and routing
A voice agent that greets callers, finds out what they need and sends the call or a clean summary to the right person, with urgent calls escalated first.
Appointment booking
Booking, rescheduling and cancellation handled against the calendar or scheduling system you already use, with exceptions flagged for staff.
After-hours coverage
Evening, weekend and storm-day calls answered, with a message, a booking or an on-call escalation, so nobody reaches dead air.
Call logs and review
Every call recorded in your CRM or inbox with a summary and the outcome, and a review view so your team can see what the agent said.
Phone coverage for Florida's service businesses
Florida businesses lean on the phone more than most. Law firms, medical and dental practices, insurance agencies, auto dealers, home-service companies and property managers all get calls that start with a simple question and end with a booking or a message. Many serve customers who call after work, on weekends or in a second language. Seasonal swings push call volume past what a front desk can answer, and hurricane season adds days when the office is closed but customers still call. A voice agent built for one job handles that load: it greets the caller, asks the few things your team needs, books or routes, and writes a clean record to your system. We design the limits first. What it may answer, what it must never say and when it hands off are agreed in writing before we build, and every call is logged so you can review it. We work in person around South Florida from our Las Olas base and run projects elsewhere in the state over video and shared documents.

How a project runs
- 1. Discovery call. Thirty minutes on the problem, the timeline and the budget. No deck, no pitch.
- 2. Fixed-price proposal. Scope and a number, in writing, before any code exists.
- 3. Build in the open. You get a working version in week two and review progress weekly.
- 4. Launch and hand over. Code, repositories and accounts transfer to you at the end. They are yours.
- 5. Support if you want it. A monthly retainer is optional and never a condition of handover.

Florida questions we get asked
Can an AI really answer our business phone?
Yes, as a custom voice agent scoped to a defined job such as answering common questions, booking appointments and taking messages. It speaks naturally, follows the rules you set and passes the call to a person when the caller asks or the topic falls outside what it may handle.
Will callers know they are talking to an AI?
We recommend telling them, and we build the greeting that way by default. Callers care more about getting an answer quickly than about who gave it. If someone asks for a person, the agent hands off. You decide the wording and the rules.
What happens when the AI cannot answer?
It takes a message with the caller's details and the reason for the call, sends it to the person you name and, for urgent topics, rings your on-call line. We agree the escalation rules with you before launch and test them with real call scenarios.
Does it work with our calendar and CRM?
We connect to the systems you already use through their integrations or APIs, and build the missing link where one is needed. Which scheduling tool and CRM it writes to is settled on the discovery call, and the connection is tested before launch.
Can it handle Spanish-speaking callers?
A voice agent can be built to work in English and Spanish. We test with real phrases in each language before launch, and anything it cannot handle confidently is passed to a person. Language coverage is scoped with you during discovery.
