Clinics, medical shops and service businesses

Your phone keeps answering after you close

The calls that come in at night, over lunch or at the weekend are no longer lost: the agent answers them, books into your calendar, answers the usual questions and leaves you a summary for when you are back.

    Duodat agent

    Figueres Medical Supplies, good evening. We are closed right now, but I can help you. What do you need?

  2. 0:21
    Person

    I wanted to know whether you have crutches and how much they cost.

  3. 0:34
    Duodat agent

    Yes, we have them to rent and to buy. Renting is 15 euros a week. If you like, I can book you a visit for tomorrow morning.

  4. 0:59
    Person

    Yes, better. What time do you open?

  5. 1:06
    Duodat agent

    At 9:30. There is a slot free at 10:00 or at 11:15.

  6. 1:16
    Person

    Ten o'clock.

  7. 1:21
    Duodat agent

    Booked for 10:00. Could I take your name and a contact number?

Appointment created for tomorrow 10:00 · Summary sent to the practice

Illustrative example of a call with the voice agent.

Where it hurts

Half the calls arrive when there is nobody there to take them.

  • Voicemail does not convert: people hang up and look elsewhere.
  • The everyday questions — opening hours, address, whether you stock something — go unanswered.
  • Genuine urgencies get mixed in with enquiries that could have waited, and you only find out the next day.
  • Monday morning the phone never stops, because the whole weekend has piled up.
How Duodat solves it

An on-call agent that knows what it needs to know and passes on what it needs to pass on.

Books appointments at any hour

It checks the real free slots in your calendar and creates the appointment — or leaves the request for you to approve in the morning, if you prefer.

Answers the usual questions

Opening hours, address, how to get there, parking, which insurers you accept, reference prices and available services. We prepare all of it with you.

Tells urgent from routine

Using rules we set together, the agent spots calls that cannot wait and alerts you by SMS, or transfers the call to your on-call number.

Leaves the work done

Every morning you find the list of calls with summaries, the appointments created, and the items that need your attention.

Answers in three languages

Catalan, Spanish and English. Useful in tourist areas and in practices with international patients.

What is included

  • Call forwarding outside the hours you set
  • A knowledge base for your practice, prepared with you
  • Appointments created in your calendar, or requests to approve
  • Urgency rules and an on-call number
  • A daily call summary by email
  • A welcome message in your own brand voice

What it does not do

  • It does not handle medical emergencies: in those cases it tells the caller to ring 112.
  • It does not give clinical advice and does not diagnose anything.
  • It does not charge anyone, handle payments or ask for bank details.
Frequently asked questions

Questions about this use case

How are calls forwarded?
With a conditional forward on your operator or your phone system: outside the hours you set, calls go to the agent. You keep your number, and we help you set it up.
Can it answer during office hours too?
Yes. Some practices use it only after hours; others have it answer whenever every line is busy, so nobody is left waiting.
How do you decide what counts as urgent?
We define it together from your criteria, then tune it over the first few weeks against real calls. The agent can always transfer the call if the person insists on speaking to someone.
What does the caller hear?
The voice and the name you choose, with an identification message saying it is the practice's assistant. You pick the tone: warm or more formal.
