For clinics in Chennai (Tamil, English, Telugu speakers)
Patients book on WhatsApp. Reminders go out automatically. Missed calls are answered by an AI voice agent. Your front desk gets their afternoon back. Built for Chennai's T. Nagar, Anna Nagar, Adyar, Velachery businesses — works in Tamil, English, Telugu.

Tamil-only customers form 60-70% of service business inbound. Generic English-only chat or voice loses these leads to local competitors immediately.
Patients book, then forget. Without a 24-hour-before reminder, no-show rates in Indian clinics typically run 20-30% — every empty slot is lost revenue and a delayed patient who could have used it.
One person fielding bookings on WhatsApp, taking phone calls, doing patient intake, and managing the queue. The phone rings while they're typing a reply; both get half-attention.
65% of clinic enquiries come outside 10am-6pm. Without a 24/7 reply, these patients move on to the next clinic in the same area within an hour.
