FAQ
Common questions
How does appointment booking work?
The caller describes the need, the agent checks availability through your booking system or approved calendar interface, then confirms or offers alternatives.
Can it give medical advice?
No. Healthcare deployments are limited to administrative tasks such as scheduling, location information and routing. They do not diagnose or advise clinically.
What if the requested time is gone?
The agent offers other available slots from the same source, or captures a callback if your workflow allows it. It should not invent an opening that the calendar does not have.
