Does it replace my receptionist?
No. It covers the times nobody can get to the phone or the inbox, which for most clinics is evenings, weekends and the middle of a busy treatment day. Your team still confirms every booking and handles anything clinical.
Will patients know it is not a person?
It introduces itself as your clinic's assistant and writes like a good receptionist, at a natural pace. If someone asks directly, it says it is the clinic's digital assistant and that the team confirms every booking personally.
How does it connect to Instagram and my website?
Instagram messages come in through your business account. On your website it appears as a chat box, the same one you saw on the picture of your homepage in your demo. We set both up for you.
Are phone callers covered?
On Front Desk, calls you miss forward to us: the caller leaves a message and you get the recording, a transcript and their number on the desk, with a text already sent back. With a phone line added, the agent answers the call itself. Every call is recorded, transcribed and summarised, and that is included rather than an add-on, kept 30 days by default.
Do I have to change my booking system?
No. It works alongside Pabau, Fresha, Phorest, Cliniko, Timely, Google Calendar, Outlook, Wix or a paper diary, and you confirm bookings wherever you already keep them. With some systems, confirmed bookings can go straight into your diary. See which.
What if it gets something wrong?
It answers only from your website and what you tell it, and anything it cannot answer goes to the Couldn't answer list rather than being guessed. You can take over any conversation at any moment.
Where is patient data kept?
Our main database is in London. Some of the services the desk runs on, such as the AI, voice and messaging providers, also process data outside the UK, always under UK GDPR safeguards, and we can give you the full list. You remain the data controller and we act as your processor, under a data processing agreement we sign with you before you go live. How long records are kept is your setting.
Who supports us once we're live?
Our support team, based in the UK, California and the Philippines, so someone is on hand around the clock. James leads discovery and set-up with every new clinic, and the same team stays with you after you go live.
Is there a minimum term?
No minimum term. It is a 30 day rolling contract, you can cancel any time, and if you are not getting value in the first 30 days you get a full refund.
