← Back to case studies Demonstration build · AI Front Desk Assistant · Clinics & service businesses

Enquiries and bookings,
answered around the clock.

An AI receptionist that answers by voice and messaging in English, qualifies each request, books into the business's own calendar, and hands over to staff when a human is needed. Built by SHIOQ's principal advisor as a demonstration of what a scoped Build delivers.

The Challenge

The front desk answers the same questions all day

Opening hours, prices, availability, directions, whether walk-ins are accepted: a clinic or service business answers these dozens of times a day while bookings wait on a phone that is often busy. After hours, enquiries go to voicemail and many never call back. The business does not need another booking widget; it needs a receptionist who is always available, speaks the customer's language and knows when to fetch a person.

The Solution

One assistant across phone, WhatsApp and web

Voice and chat

Answers spoken calls and written messages in English, by phone, WhatsApp and website chat.

Booking into your own calendar

Checks real availability, proposes slots, confirms the appointment and sends the reminder, all in the system the business already uses.

Human hand-over by design

Medical questions, complaints or anything outside the playbook are passed to staff with the conversation so far, never improvised.
