Annie AI
Traditional answering services take messages and call back; Annie AI answers calls, books appointments, captures intake, and returns structured summaries for your team to review and file in your EMR. No voicemail, no data re-entry, no lost information.
With an answering service, the patient calls, leaves a message, waits for a callback, and you confirm their appointment. With Annie, they call once, get booked, and they're done.
Answering services give you handwritten notes or PDFs; Annie captures structured patient data and returns it as an EMR-pasteable summary for your team to review and file. Your team doesn't re-type anything.
Answering services treat every call the same—they take a message. Annie recognizes urgency and escalates immediately to your on-call provider, not a message queue.
You eliminate per-call fees, callback delays, and the staff time spent fielding answering service messages. Annie runs on a fixed monthly fee with no per-call surcharge.

With an answering service, they take a message; you call them back later. With Annie, she answers, assesses urgency, and either books a morning appointment or escalates to your on-call provider if urgent. No message, no callback delay.
Yes, for most inbound call scenarios. Annie handles routine bookings, urgent escalation, and after-hours calls. You can transition away from your answering service contract entirely.
Annie can transfer the call to a live staff member or your phone system's fallback handler. You always have a safety net for unusual requests or complex cases.
Answering services charge per call or per minute. Annie AI is a flat monthly fee with no per-call surcharge, making her much more affordable for high-call-volume practices.
