• Increase the rate of confirmed patient appointments through automated callback campaigns, aiming for at least 90% confirmation.
• Reduce patient no-shows for scheduled appointments to below 5%.
• Boost overall booked appointments by approximately 30% through improved scheduling workflows.

• Conversational interface that recognizes key phrases and intents to guide interactions.
• A graphical wizard tool for creating and managing conversation flows, pages, intents, entities, and trainable phrase libraries.
