Chapter One

The Problem

Reception handled 4,000 repetitive queries monthly. Average hold time was 4m 20s and 23% of callers hung up.

Before our intervention:

  • 4m 20s average hold time
  • 23% call abandonment
  • Reception overloaded 10am–1pm
Chapter Two

The Outcome

Web and WhatsApp channels launched together, with a human handoff SLA of 90 seconds.

After launch:

  • Instant first response
  • 6% escalation to humans
  • Reception focused on in-clinic patients
Deep Dive

How we designed and engineered it

01. Research

Discovery & Insights

We clustered 12,000 call transcripts into 41 intents. Just 9 intents covered 78% of all contacts.

02. Design

UX & System Design

A calm, text-first assistant with explicit escalation to a human, and never a medical opinion — hard guardrails written with the clinical team.

03. Build

Engineering & Quality

Retrieval over an approved knowledge base, appointment API integration, full transcript logging and a clinician review queue.
