Frequently asked questions

Does the AI switch between English and French during a call?

The AI detects the caller's language preference early and conducts the entire call in that language. This avoids confusion and provides a natural experience.

How does it work with EMR systems used in Quebec?

It integrates with named EMR systems including athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, and ModMed. Appointment bookings and patient demographics (name, DOB, phone) write directly to the chart; intake summaries and clinical data are returned as structured, EMR-pasteable summaries for staff review and filing.

Can it handle code-switching (mixing English and French)?

Yes. The AI is trained to follow code-switching naturally, which is common in bilingual Canada.

What if a patient's preferred language isn't their first call language?

The AI asks early: 'Would you prefer to continue in English or French?' and adjusts seamlessly.
