Dodo Launches: AI Receptionists for Medical Front Desks 🦤
"The first AI Receptionist for Veterinarians."
TL;DR: Dodo handles client communication for front desks end-to-end, starting with vet clinics 🐶
Founded by Julius Hillebrand, Dominik Moehrle & Tim Reinhart, long time friends who went to grad school together and just moved up from Stanford.
Problem: Vets can’t keep up with the calls they get
- 🫥 Understaffed: The pandemic caused a pet boom with record demand for vet services
- 🚆 Undertrained: One in three veterinary receptionists leaves their job each year
- ☎️ Phone-based: Vet clinics handle 80% of their communication over the phone
- ⏳ Result: Clinics miss calls and clients. They also fail to fill in cancellations on short notice, decreasing efficiency. Callers spend 67% of their call time on hold
Solution: An AI Receptionist for Vets
- Handling all calls through verticalized AI agents trained on veterinary knowledge and receptionists’ manuals (they’re talking literal binders 📚)
- Interactions with internal software to update patient files, manage schedules, and execute necessary administrative tasks
- Automatic outbound calls to fill missed appointments on short notice
