District Studio, the Control Room for Your AI Receptionist

Distronode has launched District Studio, a new section of District AI where a business shapes how its AI receptionist answers the phone. The receptionist's persona and greeting, its voice, how it handles calls, the skills it may use on a call, what it knows, the tools it is connected to and the video receptionist for video calls, which until now sat in a tab under Platform Settings, are now gathered in one place.

District Studio opens on Studio home, a summary of the whole receptionist with a test call that runs in the browser. Its Voice page lays out the chain of AI models behind each call (what the receptionist listens with, what it thinks with and the voice it speaks with), offers ready-made setups (the fastest, the most natural, or one that stays in the workspace's region) and shows the time to first word and where each part of the call is processed.

The release also adds a business facts editor. The workspace owner can now change the hours, address, services and common questions the receptionist answers from at any time after setup; until now they could only be written once, during setup.

Existing settings carried over unchanged, and links to the old settings pages open the matching page in District Studio. Phone numbers, providers and the do-not-call list stay in Platform Settings. District Studio is included on every District AI plan. A full tour is on the Distronode blog.
