How Nuteq helps

How does a bilingual AI receptionist handle Spanish callers?

A bilingual AI receptionist answers every call in English and replies in Spanish as soon as the caller speaks Spanish, with no menu to press and no transfer to another line. Nuteq works this way on calls and on the messaging channels it connects to: you add Spanish to your agent’s languages, and the same agent books appointments, answers questions from the information you give it, and captures the caller’s details in either language. Every call is saved with the recording, the transcript as it was spoken, and a written summary, so your team can read what a Spanish-speaking customer asked for. Unlike a bilingual answering service, which depends on which Spanish-speaking staff are on shift, Nuteq answers in Spanish at any hour. Spanish is included on every Nuteq plan at no extra cost.
