What you told us

Three things are costing you cases

Timing
  • After hours messages wait until the next morning
  • New messages go unnoticed when staff are chairside
  • Clearing first in, first out puts a hot lead behind yesterday's
Consistency
  • The same questions daily, even though the website answers them
  • Reply quality depends on who is on shift
  • A veneer enquiry is handled like a scaling enquiry
Visibility
  • No way to measure who responds well and who does not
  • No alert when a conversation goes quiet
  • No record of which enquiries became treatment
The cost
14h

The gap between a veneer enquiry arriving and your reply reaching her. She decided in the first twenty minutes.

9:47 PM
She messages you "Hi, saya nak tanya pasal veneer. Berapa harga?" Instagram DM, after closing.
9:52 PM
She messages two other clinics Both reply within minutes. One sends a price range and a booking link.
10:04 AM
Your team opens the queue Oldest first. Hers is fourteenth in line.
11:38 AM
Your reply arrives. No response. She booked a consultation elsewhere at 10:15 this morning.

One person replyingFor Kebun Teh and Bandar Baru Uda, between patients
  • She is chairside, on leave or off shift: nothing moves
  • After closing: silence until morning
  • Nobody else can see what was asked or promised
  • The handset is the only record of every conversation

The AI is an assistant, not a replacement. It answers what it has been trained on and passes the rest to your team.

Phase 1 scope

What gets built

Core 01

The no reply tracker

You set a reasonable reply time. If a chat is still waiting past it, the staff member is reminded. If it keeps waiting, the manager is told who, which chat, and for how long.

Example, target 10 minutes
2:14 PMVeneer enquiry arrives. Assigned to Farah.
2:24 PMNo reply. Farah gets a reminder.
2:34 PMStill no reply. Atikah is notified.
2:36 PMFarah replies. Tracker clears.
Sent to Atikah Farah has a veneer enquiry waiting 20 minutes at BBU. Tap to open the chat.
Core 02

High value cases flagged on arrival

Veneer, implant, braces and aligner enquiries are spotted from the first message, tagged, and moved ahead of routine questions.

Example queue
High valueBerapa harga veneer atas?
High valueImplant satu gigi berapa?
RoutineAda parking tak dekat situ?
RoutineBuka hari Ahad?
Every chat gets a branch and an owner
WhatsAppNak buat bracesKebun Teh
InstagramVeneer berapa?BBU
TikTokWhitening ada promo?BBU
03

One inbox, two branches

WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok in one place. No more switching apps or guessing which branch.

Example, 11:20 PM
Clinic buka hari Ahad tak?
Buka ya, setiap hari. Kebun Teh 9 pagi hingga 9 malam, BBU 10 pagi hingga 10 malam. Nak saya bantu set temujanji?
04

Instant first reply

The same correct answer every time, in your clinic's voice. Staff stop retyping what the website already says.

Example, after a price is sent
SentVeneer price range and consultation fee
1 hourNo reply. A short, friendly nudge.
12 hoursStill quiet. One follow up question.
Hi, ada apa-apa yang saya boleh bantu jelaskan pasal veneer? Kalau nak, saya boleh semak slot konsultasi minggu ni.
05

Follow up while she is still deciding

Two light touches inside the first day, then it stops. Enough to stay in the running without chasing.

06

Staff performance, in numbers

respond.io's built in Reports show how fast each person and each branch replies. No spreadsheet, no guessing.

Also in Phase 1

What your team will see on screen

Example, one patient on two apps
Instagram@nurul.ainaVeneer berapa ya?
WhatsApp+60 19 ••• 4412Hi, saya yang DM tadi
Merged into
One contactNurul AinaInstagram and WhatsApp, one history, one owner
07

Contact merging

She DMs on Instagram, then WhatsApps. Staff see one person and the whole story, so nobody asks her to repeat herself.

Example, Instagram ad enquiry
Came from ad Veneer Promo Oktober, Instagram
Hi, berminat
Salam, terima kasih berminat dengan promo veneer kami. Nak saya kongsikan harga dan contoh hasil?
08

Ads connected to the chat

Meta and TikTok ads are linked, so when someone taps an ad and writes only "berminat", we already know what she is asking about.

Example, AI sends photos and pricing
Boleh tengok contoh hasil veneer?
BeforeAfter Ini salah satu kes veneer di Smile Heritage. Pakej bermula dari RM[X] sebatang gigi.
09

An AI agent that shows, not only tells

It can send your approved before and after photos and price lists when asked. We design its structure first: what it knows, what it may send, when it stops.

Example, handover from AI to staff
Saya buat veneer 2 minggu lepas, sekarang rasa ngilu
Maaf dengar tu. Saya sambungkan kepada team kami sekarang supaya doktor boleh semak.
Handover note for Farah Veneer done 2 weeks ago at BBU. Reports sensitivity. Wants a callback today. Not yet answered: is the review visit free?
10

Escalation with a follow up note

When a chat needs a person, the AI steps back and leaves a summary. Staff pick up mid conversation without scrolling.

Example, where each patient stands
New enquiryPrice sentConsult bookedTreatedRecall due
Consult bookedNurul Aina, veneer, BBU
Price sentHafiz, braces, Kebun Teh
11

Customer lifecycle

Every patient sits at a stage, from first message to treatment. You can finally see which enquiries became cases.

Example template, approved by Meta
Salam {{nama}}, ini peringatan temujanji anda di Smile Heritage {{cawangan}} pada {{tarikh}}, {{masa}}. Balas 1 untuk sahkan, 2 untuk tukar masa.
12

WhatsApp templates, written for you

Reminders, follow ups and recalls need Meta approved templates. We write them in your voice and submit them.

  • Four seconds to first reply, with the clinic closed and nobody on duty
  • Price answered consistently, without committing the dentist to a number
  • Branch captured, so the right team picks it up in the morning
  • Tagged high value, so it sits at the top of the queue, not the bottom
  • If nobody has replied by your target time, staff are reminded and the manager is told

Prices shown are placeholders. Wording, ranges and escalation targets are confirmed with you before go live.

USD 199 a month on monthly billing, paid to respond.io directly. Growth is the first plan that includes AI agents, workflows and the staff response reports, which this build depends on. Paying yearly brings it to about USD 159 a month.

StarterUSD 99
GrowthUSD 199
AdvancedUSD 349

Per month on monthly billing, from respond.io's published pricing. Yearly billing is about 20% less. Final cost also depends on contact volume. WhatsApp template messages are charged separately by Meta.

  • WhatsApp API requires a verified Facebook Business account. Verification is done by Hartika Group with our guidance.
  • Moving your existing number to the API means chat history on the current handset does not carry over. We plan the cutover with you.
  • No clinical records, diagnoses or images are stored in respond.io. That data stays in your clinic system.
  • Timeline assumes content and access are provided within the first week.
  • Setup fee is non refundable once work has commenced.
