Game-Changer for Phone Productivity! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

M1 has completely transformed the way I work on the phone. Before discovering this app, I struggled to take notes during calls, often missing key details while trying to write things down. Now, thanks to M1, I can slow down and actively listen to the person on the other end without the fear of forgetting important information. This app truly allows me to focus on the conversation, improving both my understanding and the quality of my responses.A HUGE shout-out to Bobby on the M1 Support Team! His level of expertise, proactivity, and responsiveness is unparalleled—something I’ve never experienced with any other app or product. Bobby made the transition to using M1 seamless and supported me every step of the way.Are there issues with M1? Well, sure there are. But during my time with M1’s Bobby, he proactively identified a few bugs I’d noticed but hadn’t even mentioned, and he flagged them for the M1 Team to address. Unbelievable service!

Great potential, but missing a few key features for business use

I was pleasantly surprised at how well this app works. The AI’s voice sounds very natural, and when i tested it with a multitude of questions it did great at providing general information to “the customer” even though I hadn’t trained it with that information. I also love that calls are recorded so you can listen to the whole thing later.For me though, and I think any real business use case, it’s missing two major features. 1. Business Hours. We all hate getting calls outside of our normal hours, and it should allow you to set hours in which it would go straight to the AI and even use a different greeting during those hours. 2. Auto attendant. There should be an option, whether it be a separate system or just part of letting the AI answer and screen the calls, but then forward them to you. This is the feature my current system has that cuts out almost all spam calls, because auto-dialers can’t get past a “press # for customer service”. Having callers dial through to you right away and THEN go to the AI is not gonna work for me since my number is public and I get so many spam calls.If they add those two features, I’ll definitely return and even be willing to pay more for it. I already pay more for a system that has those features but not AI.

A critical issue to address is the absence of a fully functional web app. Now, moving on to other aspects: This app has the potential to be a lifesaver for my business, yet the lack of developer access leaves me uneasy. It could be the perfect tool if I could implement the minor customizations that would garner my full support. Additionally, the recent reduction in the AI voice agent's time limit significantly diminishes its usefulness for me. I had been inadvertently promoting it by sharing it with clients and alumni, explaining how it streamlined my workflows so effectively. With the voice agent now limited to just 10 minutes per call instead of an hour, I've not only lost a crucial daily planning assistant but also need to completely recalibrate my entire business onboarding process for clients and leads, as I had heavily integrated voice functionality into it. This poses a significant setback for my scheduled launch dates.Moreover, it's essential for the M1 and the Voice Receptionist to share the same intelligence and remember all conversations in real-time. Lastly, my daily overviews can no longer be exported or copied and pasted, an issue that tech support has yet to resolve. Despite these challenges, I still deeply appreciate this incredible app.

Hi there,Thank you so much for the detailed and thoughtful review, we truly appreciate the time you took to share your feedback.We hear you on several fronts:• Ai Receptionist call limit: You're not alone in needing longer call durations, it's something we've discussed internally and are actively exploring. There are some technical challenges we want to solve first to avoid connection issues on longer calls, but it's on our radar.• Web app: You're absolutely right that more flexibility is needed beyond the mobile app. We're currently working on a web dashboard that will give you easier access to inbox management, billing, inbox invites, and meeting notes, all from your browser. Stay tuned! And if you're a macOS user, M1 Desktop is also available on Mac.• Shared intelligence across M1 + Receptionist: 100% agreed. Making sure your AI has consistent context across calls, messages, and recaps is a top priority for us as we continue improving our AI pipeline.• Copying/exporting daily overviews: That should still be working, if you're having trouble with this, please reach out via the in-app chat or at support@hellom1.com so we can take a closer look.Thank you again for supporting M1 and sharing it with your network, your feedback plays a big role in shaping what we build next.• The M1 Team

It’s great but 1 issue -3 stars
08/03/2025

I like a lot about this, but one huge issue that I did not like was that if it sends someone a calendar invite, it forces and inserts a video chat link implying they have to use that when talking with me. I’m all about doing virtual meetings like Microsoft Teams or Zoom, but there is no option to turn this off, and it just forces it on the user. I don’t know anything about this service using the video conference and would not feel comfortable or feel secure as the owner of a tech business, and I most certainly wouldn’t expect my customer or prospective client to feel comfortable with something like that either or force that onto them. That issue alone made me turn off the forwarding and cancel the trial after less than 24 hours. Another less significant issue, but still something I wish could be customized, is how much time block before and after existing calendar entries before it recommends a time to a caller. While doing the trial, I noticed it was only giving 15 or at most 30 minutes before or after an existing event on my calendar. I prefer a minimum of 30 minutes cushion. This wasn’t a deciding factor to cancel, but it is definitely something worth mentioning.

Developer Response
Thanks for the feedback. We hear you on the calendar link and the need for more control over what’s shared with clients. We’ve also noted your point about buffer times, it’s helpful context.We’re always working on improving the app, so if you decide to give M1 another try, feel free to reach out via the in-app chat. We’d be happy to help you get set up and walk you through what’s new. • The M1 Team
