No. The AI receptionist hardware requirements are zero — there's no equipment to install, no app you have to run, and no new phone system. Ava works with your existing business number through call forwarding, and your call summaries arrive by SMS and email, which you already have.
That's it. Nothing gets mounted in your office, nothing runs on your computer, and there's no IT project.
Ava lives in the cloud, not in your shop. The call gets forwarded to her, she handles it, and the summary comes back to you as a text and an email. Your office internet going down doesn't stop her from answering — she's not running on anything you own.
That also means no maintenance. There's no box to reboot, no software version to update, and no hardware to replace in three years.
Zero hardware requirements means zero friction to start: setup is done for you and live in under 24 hours, and your customers keep dialing the number already on your trucks and your Google profile. If you can forward a call, you meet the AI receptionist hardware requirements.
