How it works

What Steward does

An AI receptionist that answers, books and routes your calls — around the clock.

Steward is an AI receptionist for businesses. You describe it in your own words, it learns your business from your website, and it answers your phone in Swedish or English: it answers questions, books appointments into your calendar, transfers calls to the right person and sends you a summary of every call. No code, no setup fees.

Follow a call

One call, start to finish.

01Answer

Picks up every call, day and night

Your receptionist answers within seconds, 24/7, every day of the year — and handles any number of callers at the same time, so nobody waits in a queue. The greeting is yours, and it always tells the caller they're speaking with an AI.

Steward

Hi, you've reached Nordic Hair — I'm the salon's AI receptionist. How can I help?

02Understand

Talks like a person, not a phone menu

No "press 1 for bookings". Callers just say what they want. Steward detects whether they speak Swedish or English, replies in real time, and stops to listen if they interrupt — just like a real conversation.

Caller

Hi! I'd like a haircut on Friday, if you have time.

03Know

Answers from your own information

Import your website and Steward knows your services, prices, opening hours and contact people. It never makes things up: if it doesn't know, it says so, offers a callback, and flags the question for you so you can teach it the answer.

Caller

Do you do beard trims too?

Steward

We do — a beard trim is 250 kr and takes about 20 minutes. Want me to add it?

04Book

Books straight into your calendar

Steward checks your opening hours and real availability while the caller is on the line, and books the slot right away. Sync your existing calendar so it never double-books, and if the week is full it can put the caller on a waitlist for an earlier time.

Steward

Friday at 14:00 is free. Shall I book a haircut and beard trim for you?

Caller

Yes please!

05Confirm

Confirms by SMS and email

The customer gets an SMS confirmation with a link to cancel if plans change. You get an email with a calendar invite, and the booking shows up in your Steward booking calendar.

06Transfer

Hands over to the right person

Tell Steward who handles what, and it transfers the call when the caller needs a human — to the right colleague, not just a switchboard. If nobody picks up, it takes a message and logs a callback request for you.

Caller

Could I talk to Anna about colouring?

Steward

Of course — I'll put you through to Anna now.
