Hear your receptionist before launch, pick a new voice, and run your account by chat

Setting up your receptionist should feel simple, and it should feel like yours. These updates make that happen. You can now hear Cira before your first caller does, pick from more natural voices, and change your settings just by asking. Here's what's new and why it helps.

Hear your receptionist before you go live

You no longer have to guess how Cira will sound to your callers. Right from your setup, you can now talk to your receptionist live and hear it answer in real time. Say a few words, ask a question, and listen to how it responds — just like a real caller would.

We also added four new natural voices to choose from. Try each one and pick the voice that fits your business. And if your computer doesn't have a microphone, you can still use listen-only mode to hear the greeting.

Why it matters: the way Cira sounds is the first thing every caller notices. When you can hear it before you go live, you know exactly what your customers will hear. You can pick the right voice and go live with confidence, not crossed fingers.

Change any setting just by asking Cira

You can now run your account by chatting with Cira. Instead of hunting through menus, just tell Cira what you want to change and it takes care of it.

Update your business details, like your hours or the services you offer. Adjust how your receptionist works. Add or remove a team member. Update a customer record. All of it happens in a simple chat, in plain words.

Why it matters: you're busy, and you don't have time to learn where every setting lives. Now you don't have to. Ask for what you want the way you'd ask a helper sitting next to you, and Cira handles the rest. Less time in settings means more time on the job.

A smoother signup and setup

We gave signup and setup a fresh, cleaner look. The new signup page uses a simple two-panel layout, so you can see what you're getting while you fill out the short form.

The setup steps are clearer too. Adding your business details, choosing your voice, and finishing up all take fewer clicks and less thinking. We trimmed the extra choices so you can get to your first answered call faster, and you can always fine-tune the details later.

Why it matters: the sooner you're set up, the sooner Cira starts catching the calls you'd otherwise lose. A simpler start means you're up and running in minutes, without getting stuck.
