AI receptionist

Updated

wai is the AI front desk for private clinics, groups and hospitals. It reads every call, WhatsApp, email and web form in one inbox, drafts the reply, the booking and the payment link in the patient's language, and a person at your clinic reviews it and sends it.

Your receptionist starts every reply from a finished draft, and every patient hears from a person who has their whole record in front of them.

What the front desk does

One inbox

Every call, WhatsApp, email and web form lands in one thread per patient, against their record.

Drafted replies

Each reply is drafted in the language the patient wrote in, from the clinic's own prices, policies and diary, in any of 11 languages.

Bookings

A booking link that reads each doctor's calendar goes out with the reply, and a cancelled slot is offered to the waitlist.

Deposits and payments

The deposit is taken at booking, into the clinic's own Stripe account.

Reminders and recalls

Reminders before each visit, rebooking after a missed one, and recalls a clinician approves.

Approval

Nothing reaches a patient until someone at the clinic has read it and pressed send.

Reporting

Response targets and front desk reports for your team, with takings beside them.

See it run on one of your own consultations or a day at your front desk. Fifteen minutes on video.
