Franki

Franki is a phone based AI voice that handles call screening, business reception, scheduled check-in calls for family and open ended conversation. No app is needed, she speaks nine languages, and she texts summaries instead of transcripts.

Franki is a voice AI you reach by telephone rather than through an app. You ring a number, or type your own number into the site and she rings you, and the conversation happens on whatever handset you already own. There is nothing to install and no browser window involved. She speaks nine languages, works on any phone, and is built by a very small company in Suffolk, England. The product splits into four jobs. For individuals there is a call screener at £4 a month, where you choose the name, voice, accent and attitude of the persona who fields calls you would rather avoid by forwarding them to her. There is also open ended conversation on a pay as you go basis, pitched for late nights, long walks and quiet kitchens, plus a free to try language practice mode where nine languages and unlimited patience stand in for a classroom. For families, a £7 a month plan has Franki ring a parent on a schedule you set and send you a gentle summary afterwards. For businesses, a £10 a month receptionist answers the line, takes the message and texts a summary within a minute; overflow, out of hours and telephony for third party agent stacks are quoted or in early access. In practice you sign up, register a number, and choose which job Franki performs. She texts summaries rather than transcripts, so you get the gist without a recording. She always identifies herself as an AI, callers can opt out with a single tap, and the site states that she never keeps what you did not agree to. Hosting is UK based and GDPR compliant. The closest alternatives are app based companions and separate business answering services. Franki's difference is that the telephone line is the product: the same voice covers emotional support, call screening and reception work, which suits people who want one number for several jobs rather than a different subscription for each.
