Ask any showroom manager when the phone rings most and you will hear the same answer: when the floor is busiest. Staff are with walk-in customers, the call goes unanswered, and the caller tries the next store on Google Maps. After closing time and on Sundays, nobody answers at all.

An AI receptionist picks up every call, answers from your own business information, and turns the conversation into a booked visit or a qualified lead for your team.

What callers to a showroom actually ask

Pull a week of call notes and most questions fall into a short list:

  • Are you open today / on Sunday? Where exactly are you?
  • Do you have this product in stock, and in which colours or sizes?
  • What is the price range? Do you offer EMI?
  • Do you deliver to my area, and how long does it take?
  • Can you make it in a custom size or fabric?
  • Can I book a visit or a video call?

All of these have factual answers your business already knows. That is exactly the kind of conversation an AI receptionist handles well — and the reason it must be connected to accurate, current business information.

How it works

The receptionist answers from the same knowledge base as your website and Instagram, so answers match everywhere.
  1. You get a business number (or forward your existing one when staff can’t pick up).
  2. The receptionist answers in the caller’s language — Stuv supports 30+ Indian and international languages.
  3. It answers from your knowledge base: timings, location, price ranges, delivery areas, policies.
  4. It captures the lead: name, what they want, budget and timeline, and offers a visit slot.
  5. You get a summary of every call in your CRM, and hot callers are sent to your WhatsApp right away.

Setting it up well

Give it facts, not adjectives

“Premium quality, best prices” helps nobody. “Solid sheesham, 5-year warranty on frames, delivery across Pune in 5–7 days, free above ₹25,000” lets it answer real questions. Update it when prices or policies change.

Decide what it should not answer

Exact quotes on custom work, negotiations and complaints are usually better with a person. Set these to “take details and promise a callback”, and make sure someone actually calls back.

Tell callers it is an assistant

Callers are fine talking to an assistant that is fast and useful; they are not fine being misled. A short introduction (“Hi, this is the assistant for …”) and an easy way to reach a person build trust.

Review calls in the first two weeks

Read the call summaries daily at first. Every “I don’t know” is a missing fact to add to the knowledge base. Most of the improvement comes from this loop.

What to measure

MetricWhy it matters
Calls answered vs. calls receivedThe core promise: no missed calls
Calls outside store hoursDemand you were losing before
Visits or callbacks bookedWhether calls turn into business
Questions it couldn’t answerYour to-do list for the knowledge base

Before switching it on, count one week of missed calls from your phone log. It is the simplest baseline for judging the result.
