Residents and visitors find someone at the lobby desk.
Bella stays at the door or desk of your building, where she greets residents and visitors and tells the right person who has arrived. A real person speaks through her.
Book a demoThe lobby desk is hard to keep staffed.
A visitor who walks into an empty lobby does not know which floor to go to or who to call. Residents and tenants see the empty desk too, mostly in the evening when they come home.
Part of the reason is turnover. The UC Berkeley Labor Center reports that yearly staff turnover in the US security industry reached 89% in 2024, against 66% for the private sector as a whole.
A greeting and an answer at the door.
01
Greets everyone who comes in
Bella welcomes residents and tenants, and she asks visitors whom they have come to see.
02
Gives directions in the building
Bella tells visitors which elevator and floor they need, in more than 30 languages, and she can lead them across the lobby.
03
Announces visitors
Bella lets the tenant or your building staff know that a visitor is waiting, and she calls a person when someone needs help.
In a 14-day pilot at the American Dream mall, one Bella held 2,222 conversations with guests, 53 seconds each on average.
Bella is not a security device, and we have not run her in an apartment or office lobby yet, so we are looking for a first pilot site.
Put Bella in your lobby.
Bella costs $10 to $20 an hour, with no big contract. Tell us about your building and we'll set up a 14-day pilot.
