Smith.ai uses a hybrid of human agents and AI. KaiVox AI is fully automated — more consistent, always available, and a fraction of the cost.
Smith.ai charges $300–$1000+/mo for human-assisted answering. KaiVox AI delivers fully automated, 24/7 AI front desk for a fraction of that — with scheduling, CRM, and WhatsApp built in.
