Joep compared
A venue that can no longer answer its own phone has three choices: a receptionist who holds the conversation, an answering service that takes a message, or an AI phone assistant that holds the conversation and processes the order or reservation. Below we set Joep beside a receptionist and beside the other AI phone assistants in the Netherlands, honestly, with what Joep does and does not do.
Made for hospitality
AI phone assistants that, like Joep, focus on restaurants, snack bars and other hospitality. This is where the overlap is largest and the differences clearest: integrations with reservation systems against orders all the way to the receipt and the payment.

General AI phone assistants

A receptionist or an answering service: a human holds the conversation or takes the message. For anyone wondering whether an AI can take over the phone at all.
