What Is the 24/7 AI Virtual Receptionist?

The 24/7 AI Virtual Receptionist is an opt-in upgrade to your existing Latchel-assigned phone number. It is not a new or separate phone number — it simply expands what happens when someone who isn’t a current resident calls your Latchel line.

How to Opt In

Email success@latchel.com to request activation for your account.

How Calls Are Routed

If a caller isn’t already registered in Latchel, they’ll hear a short prompt: “If you are a current resident, press 1. For all other callers, press 2.”
  • Residents who press 1 continue through Latchel’s normal maintenance intake process.
  • Everyone else — prospective tenants, owners, vendors, and other non-resident callers — is routed to the AI Receptionist flow.

What Gets Captured

For every call handled by the AI Receptionist, Latchel stores:
  • A summary of the call
  • A recording of the call
  • A full transcript of the call

Routing Options

You can choose how the summary, recording, and transcript are delivered. Available routing methods include:
  • Email
  • SMS
  • A Latchel task
  • Slack notification
  • Webhook
Specify your preferred method(s) and recipients when you request activation.

Giving Feedback

Just like maintenance intake, it’s easy to let us know how the AI Receptionist did — you can give feedback right from the call itself.

Supported Languages

The AI Virtual Receptionist supports both English and Spanish.
Call forwarding to a live line is not yet available. The AI cannot transfer a caller mid-call — routing to your team happens after the call has ended.
