Voice agent for veterinary triage

Replaced reception phone tree with a voice agent on Twilio + ElevenLabs that triages calls and books appointments via the clinic PMS.

40% of inbound calls handled without staff. Customer-satisfaction unchanged.

Problem

Reception spent 4 hours/day on repetitive intake calls — opening hours, vaccine timing, booking — pulling them away from in-clinic care.

Channels

  • phone
  • voicemail fallback

Sample turn

UserHi, my cat has been limping for two days, when can I bring her in?
AgentI can book her in today. We have 14:30 or 16:00 with Dr. Visser — which works?

What I built

  • Twilio inbound number with ElevenLabs voice + Claude reasoning
  • Live PMS lookup for open appointment slots and patient history
  • Smart handoff to reception staff for medical or unusual questions
  • Daily call digest emailed to clinic manager with intents + outcomes

Limits

  • Never diagnoses — any medical question is routed to a vet directly
  • English + Dutch only — French/German coverage on the roadmap
