Implementation Blueprint

  1. Set up call routing – Decide if AI answers all calls or after-hours only.
  2. Train the AI – Provide FAQs, business details, and escalation rules.
  3. Connect to calendar – Ensure booking + rescheduling works smoothly.
  4. Add SMS logic – Automated confirmations + reminders.
  5. Monitor transcripts – Review performance, fine-tune responses.

Example Use Cases

  • Medical clinic: AI books appointments, sends reminders, answers insurance questions.
  • Plumbing company: AI handles emergency call intake, logs jobs, dispatches staff.
  • Salon: AI manages bookings, reschedules, and follow-up texts.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Not testing before going live — bad scripts frustrate callers.
  • Using too robotic a voice — configure natural tone.
  • Forgetting escalation — always give option to speak with staff.
  • Not monitoring logs — improvement comes from transcripts.
