How Nuteq helps

How does a Russian-speaking AI receptionist handle calls?

A Russian-speaking AI receptionist answers your line in English and replies in Russian as soon as a caller speaks it, so there is no menu, no hold, and no waiting for the one staff member who speaks Russian. Nuteq works this way. You keep English as the agent’s main language and add Russian under “Also understands”. The agent then asks the questions you set out in your instructions, such as whether a car is drivable or when a leak started, books the appointment against your real schedule, and answers from the information you add. Each call is saved with the recording, a transcript of what was said, and a written summary, so anyone on your team can follow up even if they do not speak Russian. Russian is included in every Nuteq plan at no extra cost.
