AI virtual receptionist for academies: every call answered, even during lessons.

Four calls your academy receives every week

In an academy, the phone rings while the teachers are in class and there is a queue at the front office. These are the four most common calls of every school year.

Enrolment period

Timetables, prices, which level suits each student or whether there are places left in the five o’clock group. It answers with the information you have provided and with the places actually available in each group. If the call ends in an enrolment, the student’s record is created.

Absence notice

The absence is recorded in the student’s record without interrupting the teacher. The pack is not affected: the session is only deducted when attendance is recorded in class, so a notified absence does not cost the student any session, unless you decide otherwise.

Calls from family members

Many calls are made by whoever pays, not by whoever attends the class. The agent works on the student’s record and logs who called and from which number. With adult students, it identifies their phone and speaks to them directly.

Change of group or classroom

A student wants to switch to the afternoon group. The agent checks the group they want to join and makes sure there is a place and a free classroom at that time; if there is not, it does not offer that time. Whatever it cannot resolve is logged as a request, with an owner and a committed date.

What improves in your academy from the very first call

In phone handling, in the information your team receives, in the setup and in regulatory compliance.

On the call

It recognises the student by their number and addresses them by name. It books, changes and cancels classes on the real timetable, respects the length of each one and never offers a time without a free classroom. It asks one thing per turn, reads out phone numbers digit by digit and spells out email addresses. If interrupted, it stops talking and listens. If asked to speak to a person, it transfers the call to whoever is available at that moment.

In the panel

Every call is transcribed turn by turn, with what the agent looked up and how long it took to answer. The calendar has one column per teacher with out-of-hours slots marked: your front office can book them, but the agent never offers them. Records are created automatically with their student number, duplicates are merged field by field and each record includes its session pack, its absences and its no-show risk.

When you set it up

The agent is tested before it is published, and the panel shows the list of what is still needed to take real calls. The voice can be that of someone in your front office, cloned from ten or twelve seconds of recording and with their express consent. For each piece of data that comes from one of your systems, you decide what the agent does with it: shares it, shares it only if asked, confirms the last four digits, uses it for identification or never shares it.

What the law requires

An announcement states, as soon as the call is answered, that an artificial intelligence is answering, and it cannot be switched off (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, Art. 50). Recording is off by default and, if you switch it on, it does not start until the recording notice has played. You decide how long transcripts are kept, between seven days and three years. There are five access roles, which matter especially when minors are involved: anyone with view-only access sees sensitive data hidden, and every time a recording is listened to it is logged.

Classroom 3 · Rosa Gil

The classroom is a resource with its own capacity, just as the teacher has their timetable. If either is missing, that time is never offered by phone.

00:00Academy agent

Good afternoon, you’ve called the academy. You’re speaking to a virtual assistant powered by artificial intelligence. How can I help you?

00:07Student’s father

Good afternoon. I’m calling to let you know that Sofía can’t make it to English today.

00:13Academy agent

I can see you’re calling from the phone number on Sofía Pérez’s record, student number 128, who has English B2 today at five with Rosa Gil. Would you like me to record her absence?

00:24Student’s father

Yes, please. And tell me how many sessions she has left on her pack.

00:30Academy agent

She has seven sessions left out of ten. Today’s class will not be deducted, because the pack is only deducted when attendance is recorded. I’ve recorded the absence and noted that you, as the student’s father, reported it.

00:44Student’s father

Perfect, thank you very much.

00:47Academy agent

You’re welcome. If you’d like her to make up the class, I can check which groups have free places this week. Would you be interested?

00:55Student’s father

Not for now, thank you.

00:58Academy agent

Thank you for calling. Have a good afternoon.

Students, classes and session packs. Real screenshots of the panel, unretouched.

Weekly calendar of an academy in the panel, with its four teachers at the top and each day’s classes; Thursday morning is blocked for exams.

The whole week, hour by hour

The agent books on this timetable. Slots blocked by your front office are never offered by phone, and out-of-hours times can only be assigned from the panel.

List of an academy’s student records in the panel, with the student number, name, phone, last contact and where they came from; at the top, the notice of two records that seem to belong to the same person.

Records without duplicates

Each record is created automatically when the first class is booked. When two records look like the same person, the panel flags it and a member of the team merges them field by field.

Everything it includes for your academy from day one

Up and running in 1 day and set up with your groups, teachers and classrooms.

Session packs

Each session is deducted from the pack when attendance is recorded, not when the class is booked or when it ends. The record shows the sessions available, those used and when each one was used.

Classrooms and rooms as resources

Each classroom has its own capacity and timetable, and it is booked as well as the teacher. Without a free classroom, that time is not offered by phone.

Teachers with their timetable

Each teacher has their hours, their subjects and their days off. The calendar shows one column per teacher, and the agent never offers blocked slots.

Student no. and student record

The record belongs to the student even if someone else calls on their behalf, and it logs who it was and from which number. Search works without accents and the panel warns you about duplicates.

Classes with their price

Each class keeps the price that applied on the day it was booked, even if the rate goes up later. You can send payment links and take card payments.

Reminders and absences

Up to six reminders per class, each with its own text and time, and a link so the student can cancel while there is still time. The record keeps each student’s absences and no-show risk.

Frequently asked questions about the virtual receptionist for academies

Answers to the most common questions before you request a demo.

When is a session deducted from the pack?

When attendance is recorded in class. It is not deducted when the class is booked or simply because the class took place, so a notified absence does not cost the student any session, unless you decide otherwise. The record shows at all times how many sessions are left, how many have been used and when each one was used.

What if the father, the mother or the company paying for the course calls?

The record belongs to the student and the agent works on it. When someone else calls, the record logs who it was and from which phone, and this can be checked in the record afterwards. Adult students call in person: the agent recognises them by their number and speaks to them directly.

Can it book a class if there is no free classroom?

No. The classroom is a resource with its own capacity and it is booked as well as the teacher. If there is no free classroom at that time, or the teacher has no free slot, the agent does not offer that time, even if it is requested. Your front office can still assign it from the panel, and it is recorded as a manual assignment.

Can it be tested before it starts taking real calls?

Yes. Each agent goes through three stages (draft, testing and production) and is tested before it is published. The panel shows the list of what is still needed before it can take calls: greeting, instructions, voice, tools, sources and the completed test. While any of these is missing, it is not published.
