Give every patient call a clear next step

An hiify.ai agent can answer practice questions from your approved sources, collect the reason for a visit, and book through a connected scheduling provider. Urgent or sensitive calls can move to your team.

From first hello to handoff

The whole conversation, made explicit.

Each part is visible in the builder. You decide what the agent asks, which source it trusts, what connected action it can take, and when a person takes over.

01

Incoming moment

A new or returning patient calls while the front desk is helping someone in the practice.

02

What the agent understands

  • Whether the caller needs a new visit, an existing booking, or a person
  • The visit type, preferred time, and contact details you choose to collect
  • Practice facts found in your uploaded pages, files, and text
03

What it can do

  • Search approved practice knowledge
  • Offer and book returned calendar slots
  • Save contact details or send a configured notification
04

Human handoff

Transfer the caller to a configured number when the flow reaches an urgent, clinical, or human-only path, with the conversation context preserved for the team.

The agent does not diagnose, assess symptoms, or replace clinical judgment.

Operational change

What the team gets after the call

Not a promise of automatic outcomes. A clearer path from an incoming request to the next accountable step.

  1. 01

    A consistent first response

    Every caller follows the same intake questions and practice rules, even when staff are occupied.

  2. 02

    Real availability

    The agent offers only slots returned by the connected scheduling provider.

  3. 03

    Context for the front desk

    Names, contact details, reasons for calling, and conversation records are ready for follow-up.

Example flows

Two ways a dental call can move

These are grounded examples, not live simulations. Each step maps to a builder block you can configure, connect, and publish.

New patient request

A caller wants a first appointment and asks what to bring.

  1. 01

    Understand

    The agent identifies the visit type, answers first-visit questions from practice sources, and collects contact details.

  2. 02

    Act

    It checks configured appointment types and books a slot after the caller confirms.

  3. 03

    Hand over

    If the request needs clinical judgment, it transfers or records a message for staff.

  1. Identify the visit
  2. Answer approved FAQs
  3. Collect contact details
  4. Book a returned slot
  5. Save the contact
Existing booking

A patient calls to change or cancel an appointment.

  1. 01

    Understand

    The agent collects the booking email and confirms what the caller wants.

  2. 02

    Act

    When the connected provider supports the action, it finds and updates the booking after confirmation.

  3. 03

    Hand over

    If that provider does not support the change, the agent takes a structured message or transfers to the practice.

  1. Find the booking
  2. Check provider support
  3. Update or message
  4. Hand off if needed
