What changes when an AI receptionist answers for you

Frequently asked questions — Physio and allied health
No. It sticks to admin: no diagnosis, no treatment advice. For acute pain or an urgent situation, it follows the instruction you have defined: directing the caller to emergency services, a priority callback or a call transfer.
The agent books directly into Google Calendar, Outlook, Cal.com or Calendly. If your diary lives in other software, it takes the full request and you confirm it; a connection through an API or webhooks is possible depending on your tool.
Yes. Each practitioner has their own session types, durations and availability. The agent directs the patient to the right profession and the right practitioner based on their request.
Recordings and transcripts are kept for the retention period you choose and can be deleted at any time. You can limit questions to the reason needed to book the appointment.
