AI receptionists for Arizona businesses
Yes. We build and manage AI receptionists for Arizona businesses, managed for you end to end from our studio in Kalispell, Montana. Arizona is a one-party consent state under A.R.S. 13-3005; 13-3012(9), so a business on the call may record it without telling the caller. No Arizona statute we track requires a business's AI receptionist to announce that it is AI. Your agent answers in Mountain time, on the number you already have or a new local Arizona number.

Recording a call in Arizona
Arizona is a one-party consent state. 13-3012(9) exempts interception with the consent of a party or a person present.
“The interception of any wire, electronic or oral communication by any person, if the interception is effected with the consent of a party to the communication or a person who is present during the communication”
Does it have to say it is AI in Arizona?
No Arizona statute we track requires a business's AI receptionist to announce that it is AI.
The Arizona greeting we recommend
“Thanks for calling [your business]. You have reached our AI receptionist, and this call is recorded. How can I help?”
- Arizona requires neither line. Both stay in: a caller dialing from California or Washington brings an all-party rule onto the call.
