What Is an AI Answering Service?

An AI answering service is a software system that uses artificial intelligence to answer phone calls on behalf of a business, handling inquiries, screening spam, capturing lead information, and routing urgent matters to the right person. Unlike traditional answering services that rely on human operators or basic voicemail, AI answering services operate 24/7 without breaks, learning from your business information to provide accurate, conversational responses to callers.

Trillet vs. Goodcall: Which AI Answering Service Should You Choose? (2026)

Goodcall is best for businesses with teams (3+) who need sophisticated call routing, department-level controls, and message-taking. Trillet is best for solo entrepreneurs and owner-operators who want an AI to close deals, not just take messages. It automatically vets callers, asks situational questions, and handles follow-ups to eliminate phone tag. The core difference: Goodcall answers your phone. Trillet finishes the conversation.

The High Cost of Silence: Why Latency Matters in Voice AI Phone Calls

In voice AI, every millisecond matters. A delay of just a couple seconds can break the flow of conversation, frustrate callers, and cost businesses real revenue. Unlike demo environments, real-world phone calls face network lag, processing overhead, and traffic load — making sub-2 second latency not just a technical goal, but a business necessity. Fast, natural responses keep customers engaged, increase conversion rates, and drive higher ROI. Trillet.ai is built to meet this demand, delivering real-time responsiveness where it counts most: on the phone.
