The Reality

Patient calls can arrive while your team is busy — or outside opening hours.

Voicemail and missed calls can leave patient enquiries waiting for staff follow-up.

15%

of unsuccessful appointment bookers said they couldn't get through by phone

26%

Not your average AI

AI built for natural conversation.

Forget everything you know about automated phone systems. No rigid menus. No "press 1 for..." No robotic monotone.

SmadiDesk uses conversational AI configured around practice information and call-handling instructions. It understands context, handles interruptions, and uses natural UK voices.

Natural UK voices and context-aware responses support ordinary practice conversations from the first hello.

The old way

  • Robotic voice that reads from a script
  • "Your call is important to us. Please hold."
  • Rigid menus: "Press 1 for appointments…"
  • One accent fits all
  • Callers leave a message and wait for a response

The SmadiDesk way

  • Natural conversation that flows like a real person
  • Answers on the first ring, day or night
  • Understands what patients mean, not just what they say
  • Regional UK voices that sound familiar
  • Captures enquiries and appointment requests for follow-up

Coming soon: Clone any team member's voice. Your patients hear Sarah from reception — even at 2am. (Requires voice owner consent)

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens after the free trial?

Your capped trial converts to your selected paid plan at the scheduled trial end unless you cancel automatic conversion first. If the free AI allowance is used early, you can start paid now to keep calls live.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes. Review the effective date and any charge in Billing before confirming a change. Upgrades on an active plan with the same billing interval take effect immediately with a prorated charge. Downgrades, billing-interval changes and changes during a trial take effect at the next renewal or trial end.

What counts as a "minute"?

Only time your AI is actively on a call with a patient. Setup, configuration, and dashboard usage don't count.

Is there a contract?

No contracts. Monthly billing. Cancel anytime — cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period.

Is my data secure?

Yes. SmadiDesk is built to support GDPR-compliant use. We encrypt data in transit and at rest, provide a public DPA for practice customers, and use contracted subprocessors to deliver the service. Customer data is handled through our contracted infrastructure providers. Some providers may process data outside the UK, and where they do we rely on appropriate legal safeguards.
