Curious Thing: AI Voice Assistant for Business Calls

Curious Thing is a voice AI platform built to give growing businesses a tireless phone presence. Instead of missed calls turning into missed revenue, its AI phone agents—like Lucy, Alex, Sam, and Lou—pick up inbound enquiries, answer FAQs, book meetings, and route calls, all while sounding natural and conversational rather than robotic. On the outbound side, the same AI can chase payment reminders, run surveys, qualify leads, and re-engage customers or patients, turning routine call center tasks into automated workflows. Built for teams ranging from solo operators to large enterprises, Curious Thing plugs into existing CRM and call center tech via webhooks, so every conversation generates a transcript and summary that flows straight into the tools you already use. With customizable personalities, bilingual support, and smart call transfer, it positions itself less as a basic answering service and more as a scalable virtual receptionist that never sleeps, never gets overwhelmed by call volume, and keeps your team informed via instant text and email summaries.

1. Sign up for a Curious Thing account using just your business phone number and email—no credit card required to start. 2. Choose an AI agent product (Lucy, Alex, Sam, Lou, or a custom-built agent) that fits your business needs. 3. Set up conditional call forwarding on your business phone to the AI phone number provided during onboarding—this takes under two minutes. 4. Configure the agent's behavior: select actions like sharing a booking link, answering FAQs from a document or webpage, taking messages, or sharing pricing/website info. 5. Personalize the voice, accent, language, and greeting to match your brand. 6. Connect the AI to your CRM or call center software via webhook integration for real-time data sync. 7. Go live—the AI can start answering missed calls immediately with zero training required, and you'll receive call summaries via text and email.
