Frequently Asked Questions?
What is AI Receptionist?
AI Receptionist is an intelligent virtual assistant that handles incoming calls, texts, and messages for your med spa. It answers questions, books appointments, sends reminders, and qualifies leads—24/7, instantly, with no hold times or per-minute charges.
How Does AI Compare to a Virtual Receptionist Service?
Virtual receptionist services use human agents at call centers. While they’re better than voicemail, they have limitations: hold times during peaks, per-minute charges that add up, agents who don’t know your specific practice, and inconsistent service quality. AI eliminates all of these issues while costing less.
