Summary Hi! I'm looking to build an AI receptionist for a dental clinic — something that can handle tasks like: Answering common patient questions (hours, services, insurance, etc.) Booking/rescheduling/canceling appointments Sending reminders and basic follow-ups Possibly integrating with our phone system or website chat I don't have a technical background in AI/voice agents, so I'm looking for someone experienced in this space (voice AI, chatbots, or healthcare automation) to walk me through: What tools/platforms are realistic for this (e.g., Vapi, Bland AI, Retell, Twilio + LLM, etc.) Rough cost and timeline to build a working version What data/integrations we'd need (EHR/scheduling system, phone line, etc.) Recommended next steps to actually get started What I need: A short consultation call (or detailed written breakdown) covering the above — enough for me to understand my options and plan the next phase. Ideal candidate: Experience building AI voice agents or chatbots, ideally in healthcare/dental Able to explain technical options in plain language Can give practical, actionable recommendations
