    Case studyHow a Houston medical practice put an AI receptionist on every call

    One team, three ways in

    Start with your IT, your busywork or your phones.

    Most clients start with one and add the others later. When we run more than one, they share the same support line, security and monitoring.

    The real product

    This is what lands on your desk.

    Every call the AI takes shows up with a summary, the full transcript and the outcome, so the morning starts with a list instead of a voicemail box. If your team works in HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel or another CRM Talos Connect supports, we can connect it so each call and its summary are sent there too.

    See it live

    Hear the AI receptionist handle a call, then watch it land in Talos Connect with the summary and transcript.
