What is a small business answering service, and how does it work for a psychic?
It is the service that picks up a small business's calls when the owner cannot. Here it is an AI, not a room of operators: it answers your own number, plus the website chat, e-mail and web forms, from what you approved, books each reading into the right calendar with its format, and calls the day before to confirm. The readings themselves stay entirely yours.
Will the AI give my clients readings, predictions or guidance?
No. It never draws a card, reads a chart, offers a prediction or gives spiritual counsel, and it never pretends to be you. It answers the practical questions only, such as which sessions you offer, how long they last and how to prepare, from the notes you approved, and then books the reading with you.
Is this an astrology AI chatbot that casts charts or horoscopes?
No. It is an AI chatbot for astrology websites, not a chatbot that does astrology. On an astrologer's site it explains the reading types you offer, what each one covers in your own description, which birth details to have ready and when you are free, then books the session. Charts, horoscopes and interpretations come only from the astrologer.
Can clients book a reading in person, by phone or by video?
Yes. You list the formats you offer for each session type, and the AI books the one the client chooses into your calendar, with the preparation notes and details you wrote for that format in the confirmation. A client who needs to move it can ask by phone, chat or e-mail, and the reminder call the day before checks the time once more.
What does the AI say to someone who wants a reading right away?
It explains, in the words you approved, that readings are given only by you, then offers the next open times in your calendar and books the one the person picks. If you keep time free for same-day sessions, those are offered first. A caller who would rather speak with you leaves a message, with the callback number read back.
What happens if a caller is upset or in crisis?
The AI never counsels or assesses anyone. You write the warning signs and the sentence a caller must hear, such as calling emergency services, and the AI says it, reaches the person you named if you choose, and books nothing. The conversation is written down, so you can read exactly what was said.
Does the AI take payments or deposits for readings?
No. It takes no card payments and never asks for card details. It explains how and when you take payment in your own words, books the session, and leaves the payment itself to you and the tools you already use. A question about payment that your words do not answer is passed to you.
Can a shop with several psychics and readers use it?
Yes. Each psychic, reader, room or table gets a calendar of its own, so a caller who asks for a particular reader is booked with them, and one with no preference is offered whoever is free at the time they want. Messages and transfers go to the reader named, and everyone works under one subscription, never priced per seat.
Which languages can my clients use?
Their own. The phone answers each caller in their language, the website chat speaks 40 languages by text or by voice, and e-mail replies follow the language the client wrote in. Whatever the language, the answers come from the same notes you approved, so a session is described the same way to everyone.
How is what clients share with me kept private?
You set the rules. Call recording is off as shipped, call transcripts cover only the calls your people take and reach only their own department, and each person on your team sees only the parts of the practice they are given. Whether your set-up meets your own privacy duties is decided by you and your advisors.
How much does an answering service for a small reading practice cost?
Zanus AI is priced per company, never per seat, so a solo psychic and a shop with five readers each have one subscription for the whole practice. You choose the modules you need and can add more later; the plans are on the pricing page.
How quickly can it start answering my calls?
In about 2 minutes. Keep the number on your cards and website and forward it, with no porting and nothing to install. Tell Lisa your session types, formats, hours and limits; she reads your website for the rest and shows you each change before it goes live, so nothing reaches a client without your yes.
What is the difference between the 7-day free trial and the demo?
The free trial builds a private sandbox of your own practice from your website and runs for 7 days, with no card. The demo shows the AI front office ready-made, answering and booking, and reaches your inbox in about 2 minutes with nothing to set up. Watch the demo to hear how it sounds; start the trial to hear it answer as your practice.
