AI receptionists for Georgia businesses
Yes. We build and manage AI receptionists for Georgia businesses, managed for you end to end from our studio in Kalispell, Montana. Georgia is a one-party consent state under O.C.G.A. 16-11-66(a); 16-11-62(1), so a business on the call may record it without telling the caller. Georgia's 2026 AI chatbot law (S.B. 540 (2026), Ga. Act 518, adding O.C.G.A. 39-5-6) excludes customer service, so no Georgia statute requires an AI receptionist to announce itself. Your agent answers in Eastern time, on the number you already have or a new local Georgia number.

Georgia AI companion chatbot law
Requires an AI companion chatbot to disclose that it is not a person at the start of each session, but excludes customer service chatbots that do not sustain a relationship across interactions or are not designed to draw emotional attachment.

The Georgia greeting we recommend
“Thanks for calling [your business]. You have reached our AI receptionist, and this call is recorded. How can I help?”
- Georgia requires neither line. Both stay in: a caller dialing from California or Washington brings an all-party rule onto the call.
