What Jodie does as your AI phone assistant

Call answering, message taking and call handling from one AI receptionist. Anything not marked with a plan comes with every plan.

Picks up every call

  • 24/7 call answering

    Picks up day or night, at weekends and on bank holidays like St Patrick's Day, whenever your calls are diverted to her.

  • Unlimited minutes

    No plan charges by the minute or by the call; fair use covers up to 1,000 calls a month.

Knows your business

  • Trained on your business

    Reads your website or Google Business Profile to pick up your services, opening hours and the way you deal with customers.

  • Your questions, every call

    Works through the questions you set, such as name, number, Eircode, the job and what time suits for a call back.

  • Lead qualification

    Qualifies each caller as the call comes in, so you can decide who to ring back first.

Works your way

  • Your greeting

    You write her opening line, and it can tell callers the call may be answered by an AI assistant and may be recorded.

  • You choose when she answers

    Send her every call, after-hours calls only or just the ones you cannot get to, and turn the divert off in a minute.

  • Recording settings

    Recordings and transcripts can stay on or go off, and you set how long call data is held.

Books and transfers

  • Appointment booking

    Offers the caller your free slots and books them in before they hang up.

    Professional and Premium plans

  • Call transfers

    Your rules decide who gets put through to you or a colleague; everyone else leaves a message with her.

    Professional and Premium plans

  • Team members

    Bring colleagues into your Jodie account.

    Professional and Premium plans

After each call

  • Summary by email and app

    An email with who rang, their number and why, plus an instant alert in the Jodie app.

  • Recording and transcript

    Play back any call or read it as a transcript.

  • iOS and Android app

    Check calls, read transcripts and answer messages from your phone while you are out on a job.

Links to your tools

    Premium plan

How much does an AI receptionist cost in Ireland?

Jodie's Irish plans cost €49, €99 or €199 a month, ex VAT, with unlimited minutes, no per-call fees and no setup fee. Rivals in Ireland that publish an allowance sell minutes instead. VoiceFleet's Starter plan is €99 a month for 500 prepaid minutes, and AI Receptionist Ireland charges €69 for up to 60 minutes plus a €115 setup fee (checked October 2026). Minutes run down faster when calls run long, while a flat plan costs the same in a busy month as a quiet one.

Basic

€49 a month

Round-the-clock answering, your own questions on every call, and an emailed summary with the recording and transcript. No booking or transfers.

Professional

€99 a month

Basic, plus booking appointments, transferring calls and adding team members.

Premium

€199 a month

Professional, plus Zapier integrations and priority support.

These are our current Irish list prices, in euro excluding VAT, and we confirm them when your place opens. Plans run month to month with no setup fee, paying yearly gets you two months free, and unlimited minutes come with fair use of up to 1,000 calls a month.

Where VoiceFleet matches Jodie

VoiceFleet Starter costs €99 at all three volumes, the same as Jodie Professional, while Jodie Basic costs less but does not book or transfer. Past 500 minutes, VoiceFleet needs an extra-minute pack, which it does not price on its page, or its Growth plan at €299; Jodie's minutes stay unlimited, with fair use up to 1,000 calls a month.

VoiceFleet's call counts are its own estimate, and with its hard stop on, new calls pause once the minutes run out. Jodie is not taking Irish sign-ups yet. Prices checked October 2026.

AI receptionist vs virtual receptionist vs answering service

There are four ways to cover the calls you miss. A virtual receptionist service has a person at an outsourcing firm take them, an answering service has call-centre staff take messages from a script, and an AI virtual receptionist like Jodie does both in software. The fourth is voicemail.

Few Irish answering services publish a full price list, so ask for the monthly fee, the charge per call or message and whether VAT is included. Our AI receptionist vs answering service guide has dated Irish prices. Jodie's unlimited minutes come with fair use of up to 1,000 calls a month.

Built for Irish businesses

Keep your 01 number or your mobile

Keep the number on your van and Google listing, from a Dublin 01 line to an 021 number in Cork, and divert calls to Jodie. Our guides cover 9 Irish networks and providers, with the code or phone settings and the charge wherever the network publishes them.

GDPR and where your call data goes

Our privacy policy applies EU GDPR and the Irish Data Protection Act 2018 to Irish customers, as far as they apply to us. Recordings and transcripts are processed in Ireland and the United States under transfer safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, and you can switch either off.

Data processing addendum

Support in Irish business hours

A real person answers your questions from 8am to 6pm Irish time, Monday to Friday, the same clock as London, and usually replies within 20 to 30 minutes.
