AI voice agent in Lille, France: never miss a call again
Automiatik, a web and AI agency in Lille, France, sets up an AI voice agent that answers the phone for you, 24/7. It gives callers the information they need, books appointments in your calendar, transfers urgent calls and sends you a summary of every call. It is built for restaurants, tradespeople, practices and shops that miss calls because nobody can pick up. Setup starts at €1,990 and takes 5 working days, then the subscription starts at €79 a month.
An AI voice agent is a phone receptionist run by artificial intelligence. It understands what the caller says, replies in a natural voice and acts for you: taking down a request, booking a slot or putting the call through to the right person.
The calls you stop missing
It earns its keep as soon as your phone rings out. A few real situations:
The restaurant mid-service
It is 8 pm, every table is taken and the phone rings. The agent takes the booking and gives the opening hours. Nobody leaves the floor.
The tradesperson on site
Your hands are full. The agent notes the job, the address and how urgent it is, then sends you a summary so you can call back.
The practice during appointments
The agent gives practical information and offers a slot. Your session is not interrupted.
The estate agency in the evening
Buyers call after work. The agent qualifies the enquiry, answers questions about a property and books a viewing.
The shop and its repeat questions
Opening hours, stock, appointments: the agent answers while your team stays at the counter.
Busy periods and holidays
Several calls at once or a week off: every customer gets an answer.
Five working days to get it live
Discovery call
We list the calls you get, the questions that keep coming up and what the agent must never do.
Scenarios and rules
We write what it says when it picks up, how it books an appointment and when it hands the call to you.
Connecting your tools
Your calendar, your current number, the summary by text or email: the agent fits the way you already work.
Phone testing
You call it and try to catch it out. We adjust the voice, the tone and the answers.
Go-live and follow-up
It takes its first real calls. We read the summaries and fix whatever needs fixing.

How much an AI voice agent costs
Setup starts at €1,990. That price covers 5 working days, at roughly €400 a day: call scenarios, voice tuning, connecting your calendar and testing over the phone. After that, the subscription starts at €79 a month and covers the phone number, call minutes and monitoring. For comparison, in France the integration alone is often billed at several thousand euros. The final price depends on the number of scenarios and the tools to connect.

You know what it will say before its first call
During the discovery call, we write the agent’s script with you: what it says, what it notes down and when it hands over to you. You test it yourself over the phone before it answers a single customer.
Book a discovery callTechnology and safeguards
Established AI models
We work with models such as those from OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude) or Mistral, chosen to suit your use.
Callers are told
The EU Artificial Intelligence Act requires people to be told they are talking to an AI. The agent says so as soon as it picks up.
GDPR
The agent only collects what is useful, using GDPR-compliant services. If calls are recorded, the caller is told.
A human takes over
Complaint, emergency or unusual request: the agent transfers the call or schedules a callback.

Is it legal to use an AI voice agent in France?
Yes. Callers must know they are talking to an artificial intelligence, as the EU AI Act requires, and the data collected must comply with the GDPR. Our agent says so as soon as it picks up.
Do I keep my phone number?
Yes. Calls can be forwarded to the agent from your current number, for example when you do not pick up or outside your opening hours. You set this up with your phone provider.
Does it work with my calendar?
Yes. The agent checks your availability and books the slot straight into your online calendar. We check that your tool is compatible during the discovery call.
What happens if the agent does not know the answer?
It says so. It takes the caller’s details and request, then transfers the call to you or sends you a summary so you can call back. It does not make up answers.
