aReception Story
The journey of our virtual AI receptionist & assistant began as an in-house initiative at ARTIN.
Tomáš Ondřáček, co-founder and co-owner of ARTIN, came up with an innovative idea to create a virtual reception that combines elements of artificial intelligence. The main goal was to increase the efficiency of the work of a physical receptionist, who had nothing to do when clients were not present.
We are delighted to introduce you to our latest technological innovation – aReception, also known as “Rona”. We created it as a modern solution for welcoming guests and customers in our newly built ARTIN building in Brno.
The first version was successful, but our ambitions reached even further. With this goal in mind, we embarked on the development of the second version, which brings an even greater number of improvements, innovative features, and better user experience to achieve an even higher standard in the field of welcoming guests and customers.
This year, we are excited to introduce the next evolution of aReception – the third generation. With innovations, we have integrated a camera and microphone directly into the terminal, which takes the entire concept of a virtual receptionist to a new, exciting level.
Following successful real-world deployments, aReception entered serial production, enabling faster rollouts and standardized installations for enterprise customers.
Transition to an Android-based platform and enterprise hardware. Strategic partnership with Zebra Technologies enabled global scalability and deployments for first clients in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, the UK, and the USA.
We are proud to be part of the ARTIN Group, a technology-driven organization focused on artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation. In 2022, ARTIN Group revenue exceeded €22 million, reflecting a strong track record of building impactful solutions.
Since January 1, 2024, aReception.ai operates as an independent company (aReception.ai s.r.o.), spun off from ARTIN to accelerate product development and international growth.
Since its founding in 1998, the ARTIN company has grown from just two founders to a group of companies with more than 400 employees and branches in Prague, Brno, and Bratislava.
The clientele of ARTIN includes the automotive industry, telecommunications companies, banking institutions, insurance companies, and logistics businesses.
We carefully perceive the needs of our clients and constantly work on innovations and improvements of our product, aReception.
