AI employees for veterinary clinics

A veterinary phone carries two kinds of calls: the annual visit and the dog that just ate something. Maxxus.ai hires you a receptionist that tells them apart in your clinic's name, a reminder agent that keeps the calendar full, and a recall agent that brings pets back for the vaccines that lapsed, each disclosing that it is an AI and calling only where consent is on file.

Hire the receptionistInterview it first

The moment

The dog ate something, and the front desk is with another patient.

A frightened owner calls whoever answers. An AI receptionist asks what the animal is, what happened and whether it is breathing normally, and applies the urgency rule your veterinarian wrote: flag and transfer, or book. It gives no medical advice and texts the desk every detail.

The roster

Who to hire first.

Three jobs from the roster, each briefed on your veterinary clinic. Hire one to start; the others share the brief.

Every job description

A shift in this trade

What a call sounds like.

A sample call in one veterinary clinic's brief. Every business gets its own brief, so your employees know your hours, your calendar and your prices, not a generic script.

Incoming call · 5:45 pm

[SAMPLE CALL]
  1. Caller: My dog got into the trash and ate chicken bones an hour ago. He seems okay but I am worried.
  2. Employee: This is the AI assistant for [YOUR BUSINESS NAME]. Is he breathing normally, and has he vomited or seemed to be in pain?
  3. Caller: Breathing fine, no vomiting, just restless.
  4. Employee: Thank you. Because of what he ate, I am flagging this to the clinic now and holding the next available slot. If he starts to gag, vomit or struggle to breathe, go to the emergency clinic on the number I am about to text you.

Flagged under the brief's ingestion rule; the emergency clinic number came from the brief, not from the AI.

The first-day brief

What your brief needs.

Ten minutes on the phone with us, and the three things only your veterinary clinic can tell us.

  • The urgency rules your veterinarian wrote: which symptoms flag, which book, and the emergency clinic to name.
  • Species and services you see and do not see, so exotic-pet calls are routed the way you want.
  • Vaccine and checkup cadences for the recall agent, and the consent record it must check.

Your first hire, by hours worked

A flat wage. Compare it with the hire you could not find.

Your first hire takes the tier you pick, whatever the role. Every hire after it is the additional wage on the same brief and adds to the pool. The wages page prints every figure.
