Our story

We build AI that answers the phone

Desk AI is made by Banhani Controls & Automations. We design the hardware, the AI and the apps ourselves, here in India.

Why we started

Hostel and PG owners told us the same thing again and again: the phone never stops. Enquiries come at night, residents call about water and WiFi, and rent has to be chased every month. Missing one call can mean an empty bed. Answering every call means no time for anything else.

So we built Hostel Desk AI - a small device with its own SIM card that answers the hostel phone like a trained receptionist, in Hindi and English, 24x7. Then people asked for the same help for themselves, and Desk AI Personal was born: an AI secretary with its own phone number.

What makes us different

  • Made for India: Hindi and English, normal mobile numbers, Indian billing and support.
  • Our own hardware: we design the device and its circuit board in-house.
  • Your voice: callers can hear the owner's own voice, not a robot.
  • Everything in one app: calls, transcripts, rent reminders, complaints and bills.
