- What does an AI receptionist actually do on a call?
- It greets the caller with your business name, finds out what they need, collects the address and callback number, books an appointment if you allow booking, and sends you a written summary. It transfers or escalates when the call matches a rule you set.
- Can it handle callers who ramble?
- It lets them talk, then asks the specific questions it still needs answered. A five-minute story about a boiler still ends with an address, a number and a job type in your text.
- Does it replace my front desk?
- For a one-person business it is the front desk. For a practice with a receptionist it takes the overflow, the after-hours calls and the lunch hour, so your person is not answering while a patient is standing there.
- What will the agent say on day one, and can I change it?
- It says what we wrote from your setup call, and you hear a recording of it before it goes live. Wording changes come back to us and are usually applied the same business day.
