District AI
by Distronode
AI receptionist that answers your business calls around the clock and books into Microsoft 365.
District AI is the receptionist on your Distronode business line, for growing businesses that cannot leave the phone unanswered. It answers every call around the clock in a natural voice, books appointments into Microsoft 365 or Google Calendar while the caller is still on the line, transfers to a named person on your team when a caller needs one, and writes up every call.
How District AI works with Microsoft
- Sign in with Microsoft. Once your workspace is set up, you and your team sign in to the District AI dashboard with a Microsoft Entra ID work or school account from any organization, or with a personal Microsoft account.
- Outlook calendar booking. Connect Microsoft Outlook and District AI reads your real availability and books the appointment on your calendar during the call, through Microsoft Graph (Calendars.ReadWrite).
- Outlook contact import. Import your Outlook contacts into your workspace, read-only (Contacts.Read), so callers arrive recognised.
- The Microsoft Entra app behind all three is publisher-verified for Distronode Corporation. Your organization's administrator may need to approve calendar access for your tenant.
On every call
- Picks up live, day or night, with the greeting you wrote and approved.
- Answers from the hours and services you give it, and handles follow-up questions.
- Speaks English and Canadian French, plus Spanish, German, Dutch and Italian, in a voice you choose.
- Takes a message when it cannot answer something, and can transfer the call to a person instead of guessing.
- Answers two callers at once: no plan limits simultaneous calls.
- Lets you listen in, whisper to it, or take the call over from your dashboard.
After the call
- Name, number, what they asked for, the transcript and a summary land in your dashboard as the call ends, and a report reaches your inbox.
- Calls and text threads share one inbox, beside the caller's record.
- Workflows send a text or an email, tag the contact, add them to your do-not-call list, or post to a webhook, on rules you set once.
- District HQ answers questions about your business in plain language.
- Your own booking page, District Scheduling, is included on every plan.
Your line and your data
- Choose a local number in Canada, the United States or Europe, or forward the number your customers already know. Local numbers are available in the United States, Canada and Estonia; other European countries open once their local registration is approved.
- Your workspace lives in the region you choose: Montréal, Virginia, Frankfurt or Singapore.
- We never record a call. We keep a transcript and a summary, not the audio.
- We publish every sub-processor and where each kind of data is kept, including what is still handled outside your region.
Plans and requirements
District AI is sold directly by Distronode as a monthly subscription per workspace. There are four plans (Solo, Starter, Pro and Studio), each with a set number of AI voice minutes and phone numbers. Prices are in US dollars, Canadian dollars or euros depending on your billing address, plus applicable taxes. Minutes past your allowance are billed at your plan's per-minute rate, and you can set a spending cap. Monthly plans have no contract, and an annual plan is billed once for 12 months. Current prices are at distronode.com/pricing.
You need a District AI account and a plan. Microsoft sign-in works only for accounts that already exist, so choose a plan first.
