How to set up your 4BTR AI in 5 minutes

Many business owners believe that bringing AI into their workflow requires a computer science degree. The reality is that modern AI tools are designed for non-technical users. 4BTR handles all the complex routing, large language model deployment, and voice synthesis algorithms behind the scenes.

All you have to provide is your business knowledge. Here is the exact five minute process to get your AI receptionist answering real calls.

Step 1: Define Your AI Identity

The first thing you will do inside the 4BTR control center is give your receptionist a name, a voice, and a persona.

1. Choose a friendly, professional voice from our library. Listen to previews until you find one that matches your brand tone.
2. Give your AI a name. Some businesses choose a human name like "Sarah" for a personal feel, while others use names like "Support Assistant" to be completely transparent.
3. Write the greeting. This is the very first thing callers will hear. Something simple works best, such as "Thank you for calling Smith Plumbing, my name is Alex. How can I help you today?"

Step 2: Construct the Knowledge Base

Your AI is brilliantly smart, but it knows nothing about your specific business until you teach it. You do not need to code anything. You simply use plain English to explain your operations.

• Core Information: Write down your physical address, business hours, and parking guidelines.
• Pricing and Services: Detail your core offerings. Explain your standard callout fee or minimum booking charges.
• Frequently Asked Questions: List the top five questions your front desk answers every day. If callers always ask if you accept a specific insurance provider, put the answer here.

Step 3: Connect Your Calendar

If you want your AI to schedule appointments, you need to connect your calendar. Navigate to the Calendar settings tab and authenticate securely with Google Calendar.

Once connected, the AI will be able to read your real time availability. When a customer asks for a Tuesday afternoon slot, the AI will check the calendar instantly, confirm the time, and lock in the appointment without double booking.

Step 4: Go Live

You have built the brain. Now you connect the vocal cords. 4BTR will provide you with a dedicated phone number. You have two options for deployment:

• Option A: Publish the new 4BTR number directly to your Google Business Profile and website.
• Option B: Call forward your existing phone number directly to the 4BTR system. This means your customers keep calling the number they already know, but the AI catches the calls.

That is everything. You can now use your own cell phone to call the assistant and run a test conversation. Try asking it some tricky questions to watch it perform.
