Frequently Asked Questions?
What is AI Receptionist?
AI Receptionist is an intelligent virtual assistant built specifically for med spas. It handles incoming calls, texts, and messages—answering questions, booking appointments, and qualifying leads 24/7 with instant response times and unlimited capacity.
How Does AI Receptionist Compare to Smith.ai?
Smith.ai uses human agents at $8.50+ per call. AI Receptionist uses advanced AI at $299/month flat—no matter how many calls you get. For a med spa taking 200 calls/month, that’s $1,400+ in monthly savings. Plus, AI responds instantly while Smith.ai agents may take 15-30 seconds to answer.
Why Is Per-Call Pricing a Problem?
Per-call pricing punishes growth. When your marketing works and calls increase, your costs spike. During busy seasons, holidays, or after promotions, you’re paying premium rates for every inquiry. Flat-rate pricing means more calls = better ROI, not bigger bills.
Does AI Know Med Spa Treatments as Well as a Human?
Better, actually. AI is trained specifically on aesthetic treatments—Botox, Dysport, Juvederm, Restylane, laser options, and more. It doesn’t read from a generic script. It understands your services deeply and answers questions accurately, building the trust that leads to bookings.
Can I Switch From Smith.ai Easily?
Yes- most practices switch in under a week. We handle the setup, train AI on your specific practice, and integrate with your booking system. Many clients run both services briefly to compare, then cancel Smith.ai after seeing the difference.
