Getting Started

Go from zero to your first AI-powered phone call in under 10 minutes.

What you'll need

  • An email address to create your account
  • Basic information about your business (name, hours, services)
  • A phone to test your first call (mobile or landline)
Step 1

Create Your Account

Head to aivo.bz/register and sign up with your email. You'll get a 14-day free trial on the Professional plan - no credit card required.

Verify your email address and you're in. The setup wizard will guide you through the next steps.

Step 2

Configure Your Business

From the dashboard, go to Settings → Business Profile and fill in:

  • Business name and description
  • Business hours (per day of the week)
  • Services you offer (for appointment booking)
  • Address and timezone

This information trains your AI assistant to answer questions about your business accurately.

Step 3

Set Up Your Phone Number

Navigate to Settings → Phone Numbers. You can either:

  • Get a new number - Choose from available local numbers in your area
  • Port an existing number - Transfer your current business number to AIVO

New numbers are active immediately. Porting typically takes 1–3 business days.

Step 4

Create Your AI Assistant

Go to Assistants → Create New and configure:

  • Name & voice - Choose a name and voice style for your assistant
  • Greeting - What callers hear first ("Thank you for calling Casa Maya, how can I help?")
  • Capabilities - Enable appointment booking, FAQ answering, call transfers
  • Knowledge base - Add FAQs, menus, pricing - anything your assistant should know

Assign your phone number to the assistant and it's ready to take calls.

Step 5

Make Your First Call

Pick up your phone and dial your AIVO number. Your AI assistant will answer, greet you, and respond to your questions using the knowledge base you configured.

You can also test from the dashboard using the Try Live widget - no phone needed.

After the call, check your dashboard for:

  • Full call transcript
  • Call recording (if enabled)
  • AI performance summary
  • Any appointments booked during the call

Want to integrate programmatically?

Generate an API key from Settings → API Keys and start making requests:

Your first API call
curl -s -H 'Authorization: Bearer aivo_sk_your_key_here' \
  'https://aivo.bz/api/v1/business'
