Frequently asked questions.
Everything important about Lena, setup, operation and contract. Pick a topic and Lena answers your question.
SetupHow does the phone number work?
We provide a dedicated number for Lena. You can use it as your main number, alongside your existing one, or forward your old number to Lena, e.g. only after hours or when the line is busy. We clarify what makes sense for you in the intro call.
OperationWhat happens if Lena doesn't understand something?
She either forwards to your team with full context or takes a callback request with all the details. She is trained not to guess and not to simply hang up.
OperationDoes it work in several languages?
Yes. We host a separate agent per language and automatically route callers to the right language. The Starter package includes one language, Professional up to three, Scale and above any number.
ContractCan I cancel at any time?
Yes. Monthly billing, monthly cancellation. No long contracts, no lock-in after setup.
TechnologyDoesn't it sound robotic?
Modern voice models sound natural, most callers don't notice. The best way is to judge for yourself: just call and listen.
PricingWhat happens if I exceed my included volume?
Additional minutes are billed transparently: CHF 0.35 per minute in Starter, CHF 0.30 in Professional and CHF 0.25 in Scale. If you need significantly more volume permanently, we calculate it in the Scale or Custom package and tell you the price upfront.
ContractHow long is the contract?
Monthly billing, cancellable monthly. No long contracts, no lock-in after setup.
SetupWhat is included in the setup fee?
The complete build of your AI phone assistant, the connection of your calendar and CRM systems, the knowledge base connection where needed, testing and support at go-live. Standard setups take 1–2 weeks, custom setups 2–4.
OperationWhat does a change after go-live cost?
Changes after go-live, such as new answers, new workflows or additional use cases, are billed separately as a service charge. We agree the effort with you transparently beforehand.
OperationCan I add features later?
Yes. New workflows, more languages, additional integrations: all possible. This is billed separately as a service charge, with the effort agreed beforehand.
SetupWhat if I'm unsure between a standard and a custom setup?
That's exactly what the intro call is for. We look at your use case and tell you specifically what is standard for you and where custom logic is needed.
Live dataWhere does Lena get the details about our properties?
Lena fetches the property data live via an interface from your listings, your website or your property management software, depending on what is available. You don't maintain anything twice, and Lena always knows the current status.
ViewingCan Lena book viewings directly?
Yes. Lena books directly into the responsible agent's calendar or per property and sends the prospect a confirmation. This is usually a case for the Professional package.
LeadsHow do we receive the prospects?
Structured in your CRM or by email: name, contact details, property, booked appointment and whatever was important in the call.
SalesWhat does Lena say to questions about price negotiations?
Lena passes on the details from the listing and does not negotiate herself. She notes such questions and passes them to the responsible agent.
Property managementDoes Lena also take tenant requests?
Yes. Damage reports and enquiries are captured completely, and Lena forwards emergencies to your on-call service according to your rules.
RequestDoes Lena make a diagnosis on the phone?
No. Lena records what the customer describes, in their own words, and asks about location, timing and access. The professional assessment stays with you.
OperationI'm out all day. How do I find out about the calls?
After every call you receive a structured summary. Lena forwards anything urgent to you immediately.
UrgentWhat counts as urgent?
You decide, for example a heating failure in winter. If a customer says something like that, Lena forwards it to you immediately.
AppointmentsCan Lena schedule appointments directly?
Yes, into your calendar and only into the time slots you release.
IntegrationDoes it work with bexio?
Yes. Callwise is listed in the bexio Marketplace. Lena recognises existing customers and can create new enquiries directly in bexio if you wish.
IntegrationCan Lena transfer orders directly into our system?
Orders are captured in a structured way and transferred to bexio, your ERP or by structured email to the sales office. We clarify which connection fits in the intro call.
DataWhere does Lena know items, prices and availability from?
From your ERP, your shop or bexio, live via an interface, depending on what is available. Without an interface, Lena works with an item list we set up together.
OperationWhat happens when the sales office is busy?
Lena handles the overflow: she takes the order or enquiry instead of leaving the customer on hold.
ComplaintWhat does Lena do with complaints?
Lena records what the customer says and forwards it to your sales office. She makes no promises about credit notes or replacements.
LanguagesIn which languages can customers order?
We host a separate agent per language and automatically route callers to the right language. The Professional package includes up to three languages, Scale and above any number.
SetupCan I decide when Lena takes calls?
Yes. Lena can always answer, only outside office hours or only when the line is busy. You control this via call forwarding on your existing number.
OperationHow do I find out about callback requests?
After every call you receive a summary with all the details, by email or directly in your system.
SetupWhere does Lena know the answers from?
From a knowledge base we build together with you: opening hours, prices, processes and whatever else your customers often ask. If Lena doesn't know something, she doesn't guess.
OperationWhat happens if a case is too complex?
Lena hands over to your team with a summary of the call. So nobody has to ask everything again from the start.
IntegrationWhich systems are orders transferred to?
To bexio, your CRM or by structured email. We clarify which connection fits in the intro call.
OperationWhat happens if details are missing?
Lena asks specifically before she captures the order. So nothing incomplete lands in your system.
IndustryDoes Lena work for my industry too?
In most cases, yes. Lena is set up for your business: your services, your workflows and your rules. In the intro call we clarify what makes sense in your case.
SetupWhat does Lena need from us?
The key information about your business, for example services, prices, opening hours and frequent questions, plus access to your calendar. We set up the rest.
OperationDoes Lena make diagnoses or give expert advice?
No. Lena records what the caller describes and only gives information you have stored. The professional assessment stays with you.
OperationWhat happens with questions Lena can't answer?
Lena doesn't guess. She takes a callback request with all the details or forwards to the responsible person according to your rules.
