    నమస్కారం, నేను డా. రెడ్డి క్లినిక్ AI అసిస్టెంట్‌ని. ఎలా సహాయపడగలను?

    Hello, I am the Dr. Reddy Clinic AI assistant. How can I help?

  2. 09:42:09Caller

    పంటి నొప్పి ఉంది. ఈరోజే అపాయింట్‌మెంట్ దొరుకుతుందా?

    I have tooth pain. Is there an appointment today?

  3. 09:42:14AI

    ఈరోజు ఉదయం 10:20కి డా. రెడ్డి దగ్గర ఒక స్లాట్ ఖాళీగా ఉంది. అది సరిపోతుందా?

    Yes, 10:20 works.

    Your name and phone number, please.

    బుక్ చేశాను. ఈరోజు 10:20, డా. రెడ్డి. రిఫరెన్స్ SCD-4471. చిరునామా WhatsAppలో పంపుతున్నాను.

    Booked. Today at 10:20, Dr. Reddy. Reference SCD-4471. I am sending the address on WhatsApp.

Outcome

Booked 10:20 today, Dr. Reddy

Calendar confirmed · ref SCD-4471

The first line is the disclosure, every time. The slot is read from the diary, not guessed; the reference the caller hears is the one the calendar wrote. What the call claimed and what the calendar verified sit side by side on the record.

What it costs

Priced per employee, per month, against a salary.

An AI Employee in this layer runs from ₹3,000 a month. Talk time beyond the included minutes is ₹3 a minute, and that is the floor: nothing on the suite costs less per minute. The full pricing, with the arithmetic shown.

Honestly

What is live, and what is still in the lab.

Available now

The phone door is live, in Telugu, Hindi and English.

In the lab

The WhatsApp and web chat doors are new and in the lab.

The rules, in plain words

What this layer is allowed to do, and what it is not.

Every call opens by saying it is an AI assistant, in the caller's language. Recordings are kept for the period in your consent notice and deleted after it.

The AI disclosure statement and the consent notice are on the legal page.

Questions

People ask about answer.

Does the AI receptionist speak Telugu?

Yes, natively, and it switches between Telugu, Hindi and English inside one sentence when the caller does. You can hear it on the demo number at the bottom of this page.

What if the caller asks something it does not know?

It says so, takes a message, and puts a task in your inbox with the recording attached. It never invents a price or a slot.

Can it book directly into my calendar?

Yes. It reads live availability from your diary through the scheduling API, offers real slots, and writes the booking back with a reference the caller hears on the call.

Does the caller know it is an AI?

Yes. Every call opens with a one-line disclosure in the caller's language. Our AI disclosure statement is on the legal page.

Hear it before you buy it.
