AI receptionists for Wisconsin businesses
Yes. We build and manage AI receptionists for Wisconsin businesses, managed for you end to end from our studio in Kalispell, Montana. Wisconsin is a one-party consent state under Wis. Stat. 968.31(2)(c), so a business on the call may record it without telling the caller. No Wisconsin statute we track requires a business's AI receptionist to announce that it is AI. Your agent answers in Central time, on the number you already have or a new local Wisconsin number.

Recording a call in Wisconsin
Wisconsin is a one-party consent state. A party may record unless the purpose is criminal, tortious or injurious.
“For a person not acting under color of law to intercept a wire, electronic or oral communication where the person is a party to the communication or where one of the parties to the communication has given prior consent”
Does it have to say it is AI in Wisconsin?
No Wisconsin statute we track requires a business's AI receptionist to announce that it is AI.
The Wisconsin greeting we recommend
“Thanks for calling [your business]. You have reached our AI receptionist, and this call is recorded. How can I help?”
- Wisconsin requires neither line. Both stay in: a caller dialing from California or Washington brings an all-party rule onto the call.
