AI-Powered Phone Reception

Your AI Receptionist, Available 24/7

Never miss a call again. An AI receptionist that knows your practice, books appointments, and answers client questions — day and night.

How It Works

A call arrives on your dedicated Australian number (or via browser test) and the AI receptionist answers instantly — greeting the caller, answering questions about your practice, and booking appointments into your real-time calendar availability. Every call ends with a saved summary and caller details in your dashboard.

1

Call Comes In

A caller rings your dedicated practice number or you test via browser. The AI receptionist picks up instantly.

2

AI Conversation

The AI greets the caller naturally, answers questions about your practice, services, and availability from your connected calendar or PMS, and captures their requested appointment against a genuinely open slot.

3

You Review & Approve

The call summary, caller details, and the requested appointment land in your review console. You approve, adjust, or decline each one — only then is it written to your calendar or PMS. Human-in-the-loop, always.

Built for Australian Professionals

Grounded Scribe's AI Receptionist handles 24/7 call answering, real-time appointment booking, attended call transfer to practitioners during business hours, inbound call routing with configurable ring strategies, and browser-based calling — all with a dedicated Australian local number. You can test the full experience in your browser at no cost before going live.

Appointment Booking — you approve every one

Callers can request, confirm, or reschedule appointments. The AI checks your real-time availability — including Google Calendar, Outlook, and connected Cliniko, Halaxy, or Nookal — and offers only genuinely open slots, then brings each booking to you to approve. Human-in-the-loop by design: nothing reaches your calendar without a clinician's sign-off.

Practice-Aware Conversations

Configure your practice details, services, and availability. The AI responds accurately to caller questions.

24/7 Availability

Never miss a call again. Your AI receptionist answers outside business hours, during sessions, and on weekends.

Call Summaries

Every call is summarised with caller details, purpose, and any actions taken — ready for your review.

Australian Local Numbers

Get a dedicated Australian local phone number for your practice. Callers see a familiar local number, not a toll-free or international one.

Works With Your Existing Number

Keep your current practice number. Forward unanswered calls to your AI receptionist — it picks up when you can't, so you never miss a client.

Transfer to Practitioner

When a caller asks to speak to a person, the AI seamlessly transfers the call during business hours. Outside hours, it takes a detailed message instead.

Browser-Based Calling

Make and receive calls directly in your browser. Dialpad, recent calls, mute, hold, and DTMF — no desk phone needed.

Inbound Call Routing

Choose how calls reach your team — AI receptionist, forward to phone, answer in browser, or voicemail only.

Ring Strategies

Ring all staff, ring sequentially by priority, or route by role. Configurable timeouts and fallbacks for multi-practitioner practices.

Attended Transfer

Consult privately with the transfer target before handing off. Complete the transfer, merge into a three-way call, or cancel and return.

Built-in Fax

Send clinical documents and referral letters via fax directly from the platform. No fax machine needed — every paid AI Receptionist plan includes a monthly fax allowance.

Free Browser Testing

Try It Before You Buy

Test your AI receptionist free in your browser — no credit card, no phone number required. When you're ready to go live, activate a dedicated Australian number from $19/month + GST. You're only charged when you activate a number — never before.
