More than an AI receptionist

The front desk,
run as infrastructure.

01Architecture

One system. Every business.

Each client runs through the same operating layer.

02Memory

The business remembers.

Key context stays with the business.

03Continuity

Morning starts caught up.

The team returns to context, not a pile of missed calls.

Illustrative. Businesses, times and details are examples, not live data.

Economics

You choose what
your client pays.

Exelo provides the receptionist. You set the monthly price the business pays you. Move the price and the usage; the math is live.

Price & status · Your price
$350/ month

Infrastructure is billed per minute of usage, typically $0.15–$0.30/min all-in; the math here uses the high end so the cost is never understated. You set the price; what you keep is the price minus that cost. No income guarantees: figures are typical estimates that vary with your market and each business's call volume.

Client price · you set it
$350/ mo
You bill the business yourself, at the price you set. Client-facing documents carry your brand, not ours.
Your margin · typical, estimate
$200/ mo
~57% at this usage · after usage-based infrastructure at 500 min ($0.30/min, est.). Your plan is separate and covers every line you run.
The system

Everything behind
the receptionist.

  1. AI call

    Answers as the business, day or night.

  2. Caller request

    Asks what the caller needs and listens.

  3. Booking request

    Time and details captured for the business to book.

  4. Call summary

    What happened, written down in the portal.

  5. Business action

    The business calls back or books it.

  6. Urgent alert

    If the caller says it’s urgent, an email reaches your account after the call.

Proof

Show,
not claim.

No logos, no counters. What is on this page is the product, and one part of it runs for you right here.

The call

What you watched at the top is how the product actually works: answer as the business, ask what the caller needs, capture the request, write the summary.

The portal

The dashboard on the MacBook is laid out like the real portal — the same businesses, activity and price fields a partner works in.

The setup

The customize, price and go-live screens in the workflow are the real tabs, with their real fields.

XRAY, on a real business

Type any local business. The scan runs on public data, and every number it returns is an estimate.

Pricing

Simple pricing. Made to scale with you.

Start with your first client line. Move up as your roster grows.

3-day money-back guarantee

Using Exelo outside the US

Exelo can be used from anywhere, but AI phone numbers are currently available for US-based client businesses only. Partners outside the US can use Exelo to find, scan, and serve US clients. AI receptionists currently operate in English.

Phone lines and what costs extra
  • Exelo-provided phone numbers are for US businesses. Your plan includes Exelo-provided lines for US client businesses, set up from your dashboard. They need no separate phone or voice account from you.
  • Outside the US, connecting your own phone line is not guaranteed to work. Email support@exelo.ai before you buy and we will tell you honestly whether it works today.
  • Connecting your own accounts is optional and separate. If you add your own voice and phone-service accounts, you pay those providers directly, including a prepaid balance you keep topped up. If that balance runs out, calls on those lines stop.

All plans plus your own usage-based call costs — typically a few dollars a month at light usage (run the numbers yourself).

Monthly plans renew automatically each month and are non-refundable once billed, except for billing errors or where the law requires; cancel anytime and keep access to the end of the period. Annual plans renew yearly and carry a 3-day money-back guarantee; after that they are non-refundable, except for billing errors or where the law requires. Full policy in the Terms of Service.

Before you start

The questions buyers actually ask.

What exactly am I selling?

An AI receptionist service for a local business: a live phone line that answers calls around the clock, captures what each caller wanted, and summarizes it for the business. You set your own monthly price and keep the difference over infrastructure cost.

Do I need to code?

No. Setting up a line is point-and-click in the portal: pick the business, customize the receptionist, set your price, go live. Connecting your own phone accounts is optional and guided when you want more lines than your plan includes.

Does Exelo provide the AI receptionist itself?

Yes. The receptionist, the portal and the minutes in your plan are Exelo's, and every paid plan includes Exelo-managed lines. Where Exelo-managed activation is available for a business, Exelo also places the phone number, and the portal tells you before you start whether it can place one for that business today. You bring the client and the price.

How does the business get a phone number?

Every paid plan includes managed lines with minutes. Where Exelo-managed activation is available for a business, a US local number is placed from the portal when you put the line live, and the business can forward its existing number to it or use it directly. Managed activation is being rolled out in stages, so the Phone Number tab checks and says before you start whether an Exelo number can be placed for that business right now; connecting your own phone provider works at any time. AI phone numbers are currently available in the United States only.

Can I customize the receptionist?

Yes. Its name, opening line, services, hours, FAQs and a human transfer number are yours to set, and you choose the voice. Then you can call the line from your browser to hear it before the business does.

What happens after a call?

The answered call is logged and summarized in the portal, with the caller's requested time and details captured for the business to follow up on. If the caller flagged something urgent, an email reaches your account after the call.

Can it book appointments?

When the business has connected a calendar and turned on real appointment booking, it books the appointment into that calendar. Otherwise, or if a booking can't be completed, it captures the request — the caller's desired time, their details and why they called — in the call summary for the business to book. Calendly and other third-party booking integrations are not supported.

How do I charge clients?

You bill the business yourself, under your own name, at the monthly price you set in the portal. There are no income guarantees: what you keep is that price minus a usage-based infrastructure cost, and the economics section above lets you run the numbers yourself. Every figure is a typical estimate that varies with your market.

What is XRAY?

XRAY scans any local business and shows where revenue is leaking (missed calls, after-hours gaps, slow follow-up), with an estimated monthly leak. It's the report you close deals with.

What happens if I need help?

Support lives inside the portal, and support@exelo.ai is monitored.

What happens when I hit my scan or credit limit?

Scans, credits, and message allowances reset on the 1st of each month, and higher plans include more of each. Lead search has a separate daily limit that resets every day and is the same on all plans. Nothing extra is ever charged — there are no overage fees and no pay-per-use top-ups.

Do I need technical skills?

No coding. Every plan includes managed AI lines: you pick the business, customize the receptionist, set your price and press Go live. Where Exelo-managed activation is available for that business, Exelo places a dedicated local number and puts the line live from the portal, and the Phone Number tab says before you start whether it can today. Connecting your own voice and phone-service accounts is a guided alternative you can use at any time, and the path for partners who want more lines than their plan includes.

Is there a free trial?

No. Exelo runs on paid plans. You can try the XRAY scanner free on the homepage (two live demo scans a day), and annual plans carry a 3-day money-back guarantee.

Can I use Exelo outside the US?

Yes — with one limit. AI phone numbers are currently available in the United States only. Everything else works anywhere: XRAY scans, proposals, and pitch run on businesses in any country, and there is no restriction on where you are based. Partners outside the US run Exelo for US clients today. Managed lines come with a US local number provided from the portal; AI receptionists currently operate in English.

Is Exelo white-label?

Client-facing artifacts carry your brand, not ours: every AI line answers as their business, proposals print with a neutral title and filename, no Exelo mark anywhere, and a “Prepared by” line with your company name once you’ve set it in Settings. Calls run on a dedicated local number for that business. The partner portal itself is Exelo-branded — there’s no custom-domain portal today. One tip when saving a proposal as a PDF: untick “Headers and footers” in the print dialog so your browser doesn’t stamp the page URL on it.
