Annie AI

Annie AI answers after-hours calls, books appointments, and escalates urgent cases to on-call staff

Annie AI fields evening, weekend, and holiday calls when staff are offline. She books appointments, captures patient intake, and routes urgent cases to your on-call provider in real time.

How it pays back

On-call staff notified instantly of urgent calls

Annie identifies chest pain, severe symptoms, or other red flags and escalates directly to your on-call provider by phone or SMS, not voicemail.

Routine after-hours callers get appointments without staff involvement

Patients calling about a regular follow-up or new patient visit at 9 PM get booked automatically into first available morning or next-day slot.

No more answering service delays or dropped information

Annie captures intake on the call in real time and returns a structured, EMR-pasteable summary, eliminating the game of phone tag or lost messages between your practice and a third-party service.

Frequently asked questions

How does Annie know who the on-call provider is?

Annie reads your on-call schedule from your EMR or a shared calendar. When an urgent call comes in, she immediately routes it to the correct on-call physician by phone or SMS based on that schedule.

What happens if a patient calls at 2 AM with chest pain?

Annie recognizes the urgency, asks clarifying questions, and escalates the call immediately to your on-call provider by phone. She also captures a summary for the provider to review, so they have context before they pick up.

Can Annie book appointments into a schedule she doesn't control?

Yes. Annie reads your EMR's appointment availability in real time and books patients into open slots. If the schedule is full, she offers callback or escalates to on-call triage.

Does Annie answer weekends and holidays?

Yes. Annie runs 365 days a year, 24/7. You can configure different workflows for regular after-hours vs. holiday hours if you choose.
