AI Responses

How ResponseBud generates intelligent, contextual replies

How It Works

ResponseBud uses AI to generate friendly, helpful SMS replies that match your business tone and context.

AI-Powered Responses

  • Context-Aware: Uses information from the lead's message and your business settings
  • Tone Matching: Adapts to your preferred communication style (friendly or professional)
  • Conversation Threads: Maintains context across multiple messages
  • Business Hours: Considers your operating hours when crafting responses

Response Types

Initial Lead Response

When a new lead comes in via web form, ResponseBud sends an immediate acknowledgment:

"Hey [Name], thanks for reaching out! We got your message and someone from [Business Name] will be in touch soon. Is there anything specific you'd like to know?"

Missed Call Response

When a call goes unanswered, ResponseBud automatically sends:

"Hey, sorry we missed your call! This is [Business Name]. How can we help you today?"

Follow-Up Responses

If the customer replies, ResponseBud generates contextual follow-ups based on the conversation:

"Great question! [Contextual answer based on their message]. Would you like to schedule a time to discuss this further?"

Customization

You can customize AI responses through your settings:

  • Business Name: Used in all responses to identify your business
  • Tone: Choose "friendly" for casual communication or "professional" for formal interactions
  • Hours: AI considers your business hours when crafting responses
