Answer dental clinic calls and manage appointments
The author built a voice AI for a dental clinic that books, reschedules and cancels appointments, checks slots and answers common questions.
- What They Did
- The builder describes a six-part setup: an always-on voice agent handles booking, rescheduling, cancellations, slot checks, and routine questions, while urgent calls trigger a Telegram alert to the doctor. Calls are then analyzed with GPT-4 and logged into Supabase CRM, and bookings sync with Calcom; the automations run in self-hosted n8n with ElevenLabs/Vapi for voice.
- How It Went
- The stated outcome was fewer missed calls, a measurable drop in no-shows, and automatic reactivation of patients idle for 90+ days, but the post gives no hard metrics. In comments, the author also says HIPAA was not required where they live, and compliance was the main concern readers raised.
- Worth Knowing
- The most concrete catch is compliance: the author says HIPAA did not apply where they live, so anyone copying this for a US clinic would need to solve privacy and healthcare compliance first.
