A worried caller does not try again later

Before booking anything, it has to know whether it is an emergency

In the first exchange, Sonora AI recognizes the signs that cannot wait for an appointment. When they show up, it does not book: it routes the call to whatever line you define, before asking anything about hours or coverage.

Everything else — what can be resolved with a same-day or near-term visit — follows the normal path: booked against your real calendar, on the same call.

What Sonora AI takes down on a non-emergency call

It asks what brings the person in, since when, and who the visit is for. It confirms the insurance plan before offering a time, so nobody finds out at the front desk that the coverage does not apply.

If the caller needs to speak with someone on the clinical team — a result, a prescription, a complaint about an earlier visit — it routes the call directly. It does not try to resolve it on its own.

What Sonora AI does not do, stated plainly

It gives no medical advice, never says whether something is serious or can wait, and never confirms a diagnosis the caller offers back. If someone is worried, it routes them or books them — it never reassures with an opinion an answering service has no business giving.

It also never promises a specific clinician or a wait time shorter than the real one: that is the clinic's call, not the call's.

Coverage, checked before the appointment

The question a medical clinic hears most is not about hours — it is whether you take a given insurance plan. Sonora AI checks it against the list you define, before booking.

If the plan is not on the list, it says so on the call — instead of the patient finding out once they have already arrived.

Nothing changes about how you work today

On a web plan your phone line is never touched. It is a link and a QR: at the front desk, in your Instagram bio, in the confirmation you already send over WhatsApp. Nothing migrates and your phone stays yours.

If you later want your existing number answered, the phone plan exists — but it is not where you start.

What you see after every call

Every call ends as a summary of what the person needed, whether it was routed as an emergency or booked, and the full transcript. Booked visits carry the caller's name and number.

That tells you what happened with one patient, and what people call about when nobody is there to answer — including the emergencies that get lost today outside business hours.
