Photographers in the Netherlands. An AI that answers your calls while you’re behind the camera

On a shoot, Vicem answers the inquiries you can’t take.

In the Netherlands, you give out a Vicem number or forward the calls you miss from your own. Callers there usually speak Dutch, and Vicem answers each one in their own language.

What your callers ask

  • “Do you do family portraits?”
  • “When will our photos be ready?”

How it works in the Netherlands

  1. Give out your Vicem number

    Put your Vicem number on your website, card and profiles, and pick up in the app when you want to talk.

  2. Keep your number

    Forward the calls you miss to your Vicem number. It’s a US number, so your phone company may charge for each forwarded call.

Forwarding codes for your phone company

Callers in the Netherlands usually speak Dutch. Vicem answers each caller in their own language, in any of 37 languages, and says it’s an AI in that language too.

After hours and urgent calls

Inquiries come in on weekends, the days you shoot. Vicem answers then, so no inquiry waits until Monday for a first answer.

For a real emergency, you can have Vicem tell callers to hang up and dial 112.

Appointments and requests

Vicem takes the inquiry: the date, the place and the kind of shoot. You check your calendar and confirm.

An example call. Sam is an example name; yours says your name.
