Bilingual AI answering service: Spanish + English on every call

Spanish is by far the most common language other than English spoken in U.S. homes: in the Census Bureau's 2018-2022 American Community Survey it accounted for 61.1% of people age 5 and older who spoke another language at home. Answering services handle those callers in different ways — some include Spanish at no extra cost, others charge for a dedicated Spanish line — so it is worth checking before you sign up. TheKeyBot detects the caller's language from their first words and continues in it — no transfer, no fee.

What you get

The whole call in Spanish

Spanish-speaking callers get the whole conversation in Spanish — the same intake questions and the same structured message to you — with no transfer to another line.

Code-switching is fine

If your caller starts in English and switches to Spanish during the call, the AI switches with them. No restart.

Same flat fee for both languages

No per-minute Spanish surcharge. No separate plan.
