24/7 instant resolution via SMS & chat

Patients don't wait for business hours to have questions. The AI Customer Service Employee answers instantly across SMS and chat — whether it's a 2 AM toothache question or a Saturday appointment change — so no inquiry goes unanswered.

Empathetic troubleshooting with HEARD

Automated support shouldn't feel robotic. Using the HEARD framework — Hear, Empathize, Apologize, Resolve, Diagnose — the AI manages difficult conversations with warmth. For simple questions, it gives quick facts; for complaints, it validates the patient's feelings before moving to a fix.

Seamless human escalation & lead capture

When a question falls outside your knowledge base, the AI doesn't give up. It transitions into empathetic escalation mode, gathers the patient's contact info, and creates a detailed message for your team. You get a qualified lead — the patient gets assurance that help is on the way.

The HEARD Framework

Empathy at scale

Automated support shouldn't feel robotic. Our AI uses the HEARD framework — Hear, Empathize, Apologize, Resolve, Diagnose — to manage difficult conversations. For simple questions, it gives quick facts; for complaints, it follows a structured sequence that validates the patient's feelings before moving to a fix. And diagnosis doesn't stop at one conversation — the AI connects the dots across all of them, surfacing recurring issues before they become tomorrow's complaints.

Resolution-first: answer first, ask later

Most bots start by demanding a name and email, creating friction. The AI Customer Service Employee is different. It searches your knowledge base to resolve the query first — offering real troubleshooting tips a patient can try immediately. It only asks for contact details if a human needs to step in, ensuring a smooth, helpful experience that builds trust rather than annoyance.

  • Searches your knowledge base before asking for anything
  • Gives actionable troubleshooting tips right away
  • Only requests contact info when escalation is truly needed

If your tooth is sensitive, try rinsing with warm salt water — 9 times out of 10, it calms the nerve temporarily. Also, avoid very hot or cold drinks until you're seen.

Never miss an inquiry with smart escalation

When a question falls outside your knowledge base, the AI doesn't give up. It transitions into an empathetic "escalation mode," gathering the patient's name and contact info to create a detailed message for your team. You get a qualified lead, and the patient gets the assurance that help is on the way. When the inquiry turns out to be a buyer, it hands off to the AI Sales Employee to qualify and book the meeting.

  • Empathetic escalation mode captures name, contact, and context
  • Your team receives a detailed, actionable message — not a blank lead
  • Buyer intent detected? Auto-handoff to the AI Sales Employee
