Why Bisaya matters for a business phone
Around 20 million Filipinos speak Bisaya at home, and most of them speak it on the phone. A customer in Talisay asking "pila ang cleaning?" or an ilonggo caller in Davao will not switch to English for a receptionist; they hang up on one that cannot follow them. English-only and Tagalog-only AI products lose those calls. A receptionist that answers "Maayong buntag! Unsa may akong ikatabang?" keeps them.
What the Bisaya AI understands
- Everyday Cebuano phone phrases: pila, bukas ba mo, asa mo dapit, pwede ko mag-pa-book, naa ba si Doc.
- Bislish: Bisaya sentences with English numbers, times, brand names and prices in the middle.
- Numbers, dates and times said the way Cebuanos say them, and it reads a phone number back digit by digit to confirm.
- Background noise, interruptions and "hello? hello?" on a weak Globe or Smart signal.
What it does with the call
It answers as your business, quotes only from your own price list, books the appointment or takes the job details, collects the caller's name and number, and writes up the call in your dashboard in English so you can act on it. Emergencies and anything it should not decide go straight to you.
Bisaya AI voice and Bisaya AI chat: hear it
If you searched for a Bisaya AI voice or a Bisaya AI you can talk to, the quickest way to hear one is to call 0919 059 0300. A Cebuano-speaking AI answers, talks with you about your business, and shows what it would do with your calls. It is a real phone line, not a text chatbot, so you hear the voice, the pauses and the way it handles interruptions.
Built in Cebu, tested on Cebuano callers
The receptionist was built and tested in Cebu on hundreds of real calls with Cebuano callers, over real mobile networks, before it was offered to businesses. It is not a translation layer on an American product. The founder, Ivan, is based in Cebu and sets every business up personally.
