How AI reception works for a clinic or salon
What it answers, what it hands to your staff, and how it books.
What it does
An AI receptionist answers calls and messages when your front desk can't: after hours, at lunch or when every line is busy. It greets people in your business's voice, answers common questions and books the appointment straight into your calendar.
What it should hand to a person
Anything sensitive, unusual or upset goes to your staff with a short summary, so nobody repeats themselves. Good setups make the handoff easy to see, not hidden.
What it needs from you
Your services, prices, hours and policies, plus access to your booking calendar. The first week is for listening to real calls and tightening the answers.
How to judge it
Count the calls that used to go to voicemail and now end in a booking. That number, not how clever it sounds, is what matters.
