On the call
It recognises the patient by their number and addresses them by name. It books, changes and cancels appointments on the real calendar, respects the length of each service and does not offer a slot that does not exist. It asks one thing per turn, reads out phone numbers digit by digit and, if interrupted, stops talking and listens. If asked to speak to a person, it transfers the call to whoever is available at that moment.
In the panel
Every call is transcribed turn by turn, with what the agent looked up, how long it took to answer and whether it was interrupted. The calendar has one column per professional with out-of-hours slots marked, which your team can book but the agent never offers. Records are created automatically with their record number, and when two look like the same person the panel alerts you so that they can be merged field by field.
When you set it up
The agent is tested before it is published, and the panel shows the list of what it still needs to take real calls. The voice can be that of your receptionist, cloned from ten or twelve seconds of recording and with their express consent. For each piece of data that comes from one of your systems, you decide what the agent does with it: says it, says it only if asked, confirms the last four digits, uses it for identification or never shares it.
What the law requires
When the call is answered, an announcement says that an artificial intelligence is answering, and it cannot be switched off (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, Art. 50). Recording is off by default and, if you switch it on, it does not start until the recording notice has been played. You decide how long transcripts are kept, between seven days and three years. There are five access roles: anyone with view-only access sees sensitive data masked, and every time someone listens to a recording it is logged.

Slots blocked by your team are never offered by phone. You can book appointments outside working hours, but the agent does not offer that time even if it is requested.
