What’s new

Built in the open.

We’re early, and this page is our proof of work: what shipped, in plain words, from the first Google Calendar booking in summer 2025 to what went live this week. If something here was your suggestion, thank you. Keep them coming.

July 2026

Three calls at once

A busy moment no longer means an engaged tone: up to three callers are answered in parallel, each booked into the right calendar. A human receptionist manages one.

Invite staff by email

Send each staff member an invite from the Staff page. They connect their own Google Calendar in one click. No shared logins, no setup on your side.

Hear real calls before you sign up

The demo recordings on the homepage are real calls you can scrub through, so you can judge the voice with your own ears before starting a trial.

Every staff member gets their own calendar

Up to five staff included, each with their own connected Google Calendar. The receptionist books the right person, regulars can ask for their favourite by name, and the Appointments page shows who's doing what.

Messages from your receptionist

When a caller asks something it genuinely can't answer, it says so and takes a message. It's waiting on your dashboard before the caller has hung up.

A live notifications bell

See calls as they happen, plus new bookings, moves and cancellations the moment they land, with unread dots so nothing slips past.

A memory for regulars

When a caller mentions something worth keeping, like “mornings only for me” or “I'm allergic to bleach”, it's noted on their customer card and used naturally the next time that number rings.

It writes things down, like a great receptionist

The receptionist takes real notes mid-call: a message for you lands on your dashboard, and “running five minutes late” lands on that exact appointment in your diary.

Round-the-clock error monitoring

Every part of the platform now reports problems to us the moment they happen, so most issues are fixed before anyone notices them.

Only the caller can change their booking

Moving or cancelling an appointment now only works from the phone number that booked it, so nobody else can touch your customers' bookings.

A sharper voice brain

The receptionist moved to a newer, faster AI model: quicker replies, and better understanding of how people actually speak on the phone.

Spam callers can't burn your minutes

A number that keeps redialling gets politely turned away for a while, so a prank caller or robo-dialler can't eat into the minutes your real customers use.

September 2025

Your own dedicated UK number

Every business gets its own UK number to hand out, or to receive calls forwarded from the number you already have.

Choose your receptionist's voice

A set of natural UK voices to pick from, with previews, so the receptionist sounds like it belongs to your business.

Text confirmations after every booking

Every appointment booked on a call is confirmed to the customer by text straight away, which also cuts no-shows.

Every call, written down

Full transcripts of every call, kept in your dashboard. Read exactly what was said, catch the details, and settle any “but I said…” the easy way.

August 2025

Where it started: bookings straight into Google Calendar

The first version of Vocalenda: answer the phone, check real availability in Google Calendar, and book the appointment while the caller is still on the line.
