An AI that answers your phone while you work
When you’re heads-down on a deadline, every ring breaks your focus, and every missed one might be a new client.
Vicem answers, says it’s an AI, and writes down who called and why, so you call back the people worth calling when you surface.
Who calls a freelancer, and what do they want?
- A prospective client wants to know if you’re taking work and how to start.
- An existing client wants a quick update, or to flag a change.
- Recruiters and sellers want a minute of your time you don’t have.
What does it do so you can keep working?
- Gives you a business number, email and page without a second phone or another plan.
- Turns away scam calls and robocalls so they never interrupt a deadline.
- Asks you before it agrees to anything, from a deadline to a fee.
- Lets you read exactly what a client said, so nothing gets lost between the call and your reply.
- Emails callers back so they know their message reached you.
What does a new client hear when you’re busy?
“Hi, this is Sam’s AI. This call is transcribed. How can I help?”
Then it takes the brief, in the client’s own words.
What does it leave for you to decide?
- Agreeing to anything in your name.
- Telling a caller anything about you that you haven’t confirmed.
Your rates and your availability stay yours to give.
What do freelancers ask about Vicem?
i.Can callers tell it’s not me?
Yes, always. It introduces itself as your AI in the first sentence, so no client is ever misled about who they’re talking to.
ii.I work across time zones. Does it matter when people call?
No. Vicem answers at any hour, and you read the messages in the morning, on your own time.
iii.Is it worth it if I only get a few calls a week?
If one of those calls is a new client you’d otherwise miss, yes. Try it and see what comes in.
How do you set it up in a coffee break?
Pick a name
Choose your vicem.ai name. It becomes the address of your page and your Vicem’s email, and callers hear your first name.
Forward missed calls, or get a new number
Keep your number and send the calls you miss, decline or can’t reach to Vicem. Or give out a new US number instead.
Vicem calls you to prove it works
It rings your phone once. Decline the call, and when it comes back to Vicem, you know forwarding works.
