How to Set Up an AI Receptionist for Your Clinic in Under a Day

2026-11-02

The phrase "AI receptionist" can sound like a big technical project. In practice, for a clinic that just wants to stop losing calls when the front desk is busy, it's a handful of steps — most of which are just answering questions about your own business.

Step 1: Sign up and describe your business

You'll create an account and give your clinic's name. That's the detail your AI agent will actually say back to callers — "You've reached [Your Clinic]" — so it feels like your business, not a generic hotline.

Step 2: Pick a starting template

Rather than writing a script from nothing, you choose a template built for your use case — a receptionist that answers questions and books appointments is the fit for most clinics. It comes with a sensible starting prompt already written.

Step 3: Your agent gets created and published

This part happens automatically once you confirm — a real AI voice agent is created with your clinic's name built into its script. There's no code to write and nothing to configure manually.

Step 4: A number goes live

A local Kenyan number gets connected to your new agent, so it's ready to actually take calls.

Step 5: Calls start landing in your dashboard

From here it's hands-off. Every call — the recording, the transcript, what the caller asked for — shows up automatically. The only ongoing work is glancing at your dashboard, not maintaining a system.
