Matilda

The AI receptionist that answers when your clinic can’t.

Matilda picks up overflow and after-hours calls, takes the caller’s details, books into Cliniko, and emails you a summary of every call.

From A$149/month · 14 days free · no contract · Matilda always says she is an AI assistant.

Don’t take our word for it. Ring her.

Call +61 7 3477 9799 and try to book, change or cancel an appointment. She is an AI, she can mishear, and she gives no clinical advice. Calls to the demo number are recorded.

Or talk to her from your browser. This demo is for a fictional practice, Bright Smile Dental. Try booking a check-up or asking about opening hours.

The demo is an AI assistant, gives no clinical advice, and the call is recorded. Max 4 minutes. It has no calendar connected.

Every unanswered call is a patient who rings the next clinic.

When the front desk is mid-consult, on another line or closed for the day, the phone still rings. Matilda picks up so the caller isn’t left with voicemail, and you get a written summary to act on.

What she does

Takes bookings and changes

She collects what the caller needs and the times that suit them. Cliniko — working (tested end to end on a Cliniko account)

Answers common questions

Hours, location, services and the prices you approve, in a natural voice.

Emails you a summary

Name, phone number, reason for calling and what happened, after every call.

Friendly on the phone. Never clinical.

Matilda gives no clinical advice, diagnosis or opinion on treatment. If someone describes an emergency she tells them to call 000, and otherwise flags the call so your on-call person can ring back. She is not a medical service and not an emergency service.

Your number stays yours.

Patients keep ringing your usual number. Your phone provider forwards the calls you choose (missed, busy or after-hours) to Matilda. See how forwarding works, including Telstra, Optus and Vodafone codes.

How it works

1. Describe your clinic

Hours, services and the prices she may quote.

2. Connect your calendar

Cliniko is working (tested end to end on a Cliniko account). Other systems are listed on the Integrations page; without a calendar Matilda takes booking requests and your team confirms.

3. Turn on forwarding

Forward missed or after-hours calls to Matilda’s number.
