What an AI front desk does.

An AI front desk is medspa software that behaves like a trained receptionist on every inbound call, it answers within one ring, identifies the caller, checks live availability, books or reschedules the appointment, quotes membership pricing, collects a card-on-file deposit, and hands off to a human when the conversation needs one.

Unlike legacy IVR menus or generic call-center services, Delam's AI front desk is native to the membership-first medspa OS: it reads the same live schedule, staff punch status, membership tiers, package inventory, and loyalty wallet that your dashboard shows. There is no sync lag, no duplicate calendar, and no separate billing relationship.

Clinics running the Delam AI front desk capture an average of +18% more after-hours bookings in the first 90 days (Delam customer data, Q1 2026), calls that previously rolled to voicemail and died now turn into booked, deposit-collected appointments.

What missed calls cost you

The average after-hours Botox inquiry is worth CA$400–900 in lifetime value. Every call that rolls to voicemail dies in voicemail.

Clinics using Delam capture +18% more after-hours bookings, that's CA$8,000–18,000 in monthly recovered revenue for a mid-size clinic. — Delam customer panel, Q1 2026

How it works · Six steps

From inbound call to audited CallLog.

  1. Call arrives at the clinic line

    A patient dials the clinic's published number. The call is routed through Twilio's voice network into the Delam platform, no extra hardware, no softphone.

  2. VAPI AI agent answers and discloses automation

    The VAPI-powered agent picks up on ring 1, greets the caller by clinic name, and discloses that the call is handled by an automated assistant, satisfying the Quebec Law 25 automated-decision transparency rule.

  3. Availability check via ShiftPunch

    The agent checks which staff are punched in right now. Only staff with the calls.receive permission and a current ShiftPunch are candidates for escalation.

  4. Book, reschedule, or upsell

    The AI reads the live schedule, membership tiers, and package inventory. It books the appointment directly, offers a membership upgrade when the math favors the patient, and collects the card-on-file deposit through a Stripe Checkout link texted mid-call.

  5. Escalate to a human when appropriate

    Clinical questions, complaints, billing disputes, and any explicit opt-out transfer to an on-shift staff member via warm handoff. The AI summarizes the call before transferring so the staff member skips the recap.

  6. Write to CallLog audit trail

    Every call writes a CallLog row, encrypted caller number, duration, recording SID, transcript, AI summary, outcome, and businessId. Soft deletes only; no PHI is ever hard-deleted.

Quebec Law 25 · P-39.1

Privacy-first proxy calling, by default.

Staff never see a patient's raw phone number. Outbound calls from staff route through a Twilio business number; the patient sees the clinic caller ID, and the staff member sees an internal patient ID, never the raw ten-digit line. Inbound numbers are encrypted at rest via Prisma field-level middleware and masked in the call history unless the staff member has the clients.phone.view permission (owners only, by default).

This design is novel in medspa software. Legacy platforms expose the raw patient phone number to any staff member with scheduling access, a PHIPA and Quebec R-22.1 minimum-necessary violation waiting to happen.

Quebec's private-sector privacy law (Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector, P-39.1) requires that every individual whose personal information is used for an automated decision be informed of the automation, told the main factors and logic, and offered a right to request human review. The Delam AI front desk satisfies this on every call, the disclosure is the first sentence the caller hears, the logic (schedule, inventory, membership tier) is explained on request, and “transfer me to a person” is a recognized utterance that triggers a warm handoff to an on-shift staff member.

Any person carrying on an enterprise who uses personal information to render a decision based exclusively on an automated processing of such information must inform the person concerned accordingly no later than at the time it informs the person of the decision.”
— Loi 25, Section 65.2 · Quebec (2023)
  • Twilio-proxied outbound

    Staff tap Call Client in the dashboard, the bridge connects via a business number. No personal cell numbers exposed either direction.

  • Encrypted at rest

    Caller numbers in CallLog are encrypted through Prisma middleware. Soft deletes only, no hard deletion of PHI.

  • Permission-gated visibility

    Raw numbers are visible only to staff with clients.phone.view. Everyone else sees a masked ••• •••-1234 format.

  • Full audit trail

    Every access to a phone number writes a PHI access audit record, who, what, when, why.

Escalation · Human in the loop

When the AI transfers to a human.

The Delam AI front desk follows explicit escalation rules. When any of these conditions are met, the call is handed off to an on-shift staff member who holds the calls.receive permission and a current ShiftPunch.

If no staff member is punched in, the AI offers the caller two options: (a) leave a message that writes to the dashboard inbox and pages on-call staff via SMS, or (b) book a callback in the next available outbound slot.

  • 01Caller explicitly asks for a human
  • 02Clinical question about a treatment, side effect, or post-care
  • 03Complaint, refund request, or billing dispute
  • 04Emergency or medical-urgency keywords detected
  • 05Three consecutive AI misunderstanding turns
  • 06Consent form clarification or medical history update
  • 07Pricing exception or bespoke package request
  • 08Any topic outside the configured AI scope

Why it ranks for best AI features

The best AI features in medspa software.

Owners searching for which medspa software has the best AI features want three things: an AI front desk that books appointments without staff intervention, personalized communication that runs off real treatment history, and targeted marketing that segments on membership tier and last visit. Delam ships all three on one membership-first medspa OS, the AI reads the same appointment scheduling engine, HIPAA compliant EMR, client management records, and loyalty wallet that your dashboard displays in real-time.

The payoff is client satisfaction that shows up in the metrics: fewer voicemails, faster response times, and more after-hours capture. The AI reduces no-shows by collecting card-on-file deposits mid-call and sending bilingual reminders. It upsells memberships, packages, and gift cards when the math favors the patient. And every interaction writes to the audited CallLog so owners can measure the real customer experience, not guess from Yelp reviews. Read the full platform overview or the memberships engine for the surfaces the AI reads from.

Frequently asked

AI front desk FAQs.

Which medspa software has built-in AI features?
Delam's AI front desk answers calls 24/7, books appointments, handles rescheduling, upsells packages, and escalates to a human when needed. Staff never see a patient's raw phone number (privacy-first proxy calling). AI usage is disclosed per Quebec Law 25 automated-decision rules.
Does the Delam AI front desk understand French?
Yes. The AI front desk handles bilingual English and Canadian French (fr-CA) calls out of the box, including mixed-language conversations common in Quebec. Language is detected per call and reflected in the post-call transcript.
Can patients opt out of speaking to the AI?
Yes. Every AI call starts with a quick heads-up that the caller is talking to an automated assistant and can ask for a human any time. That covers the Quebec Law 25 automated-decision transparency rule.
Who pays for the AI front desk calls?
Telephony costs (Twilio minutes) are passed through at cost. AI inference is included in the Growth plan for up to 2,000 minutes/month; overage is billed at a transparent per-minute rate. The Starter plan includes 500 minutes/month.
Is the Delam AI front desk HIPAA ready?
PHI stays out of the AI prompt by default, direct identifiers (full name, DOB, SSN, payment cards) are masked before the voice agent sees the call. PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25 are live today, and HIPAA plus SOC 2 Type II land in Q2 2026 for the US enterprise rollout.
What does Law 25 automated-decision disclosure mean for the AI front desk?
Quebec Law 25 (P-39.1) says anyone whose personal info feeds an automated decision has to be told about the automation, the main factors and logic, and their right to ask for a human to take over. Delam's AI front desk shares that at the start of every call, logs the disclosure in the CallLog audit trail, and hands any human-review request to on-shift staff.
How do I train the Delam AI front desk on my clinic?
No prompt engineering required. The AI reads your service catalog, pricing, memberships, staff availability, and booking policies directly from your dashboard. You can add clinic-specific instructions (parking, intake forms, pre-care) in the AI settings screen in under five minutes.
What happens if the AI front desk makes a mistake?
Every call is recorded, transcribed, and summarized. Staff can review the transcript, undo a booking, and flag the turn where the AI erred, that feedback improves the model for your clinic. Because final clinical decisions always require human review (per our AI rules), the AI never diagnoses, prescribes, or handles post-treatment questions.
How does call routing work?
Only staff who are punched in and hold the calls.receive permission get rung on inbound calls. If nobody's punched in, the AI front desk picks up, shares the Quebec Law 25 disclosure, and either books the caller or hands off to on-call staff.

Deeper questions on AI front desk software.

Can an AI front desk replace a human receptionist?

An AI front desk replaces the after-hours and overflow portion of the job, the 40–60% of calls that used to land in voicemail now book directly. During business hours it runs alongside the front desk team, picking up the second and third concurrent calls that would otherwise drop. The Delam AI front desk is built as medspa AI software that augments people, not replaces them, and it escalates every clinical question to a live staffer.

How much does a medspa AI receptionist cost?

Delam's AI front desk is included in the Growth plan at CA$499 per month with 2,000 AI minutes, which is enough for a typical single-location clinic. Twilio voice minutes beyond the allowance are passed through at cost with no markup. Compared with staffing a CA$45,000-per-year overnight receptionist, a medspa AI software stack is usually 90%+ cheaper while covering 24/7 coverage that humans cannot.

Is AI front desk software HIPAA compliant?

Delam's AI front desk is built on a HIPAA-aligned stack. VAPI with a signed BAA, Twilio with a BAA, and OpenAI transcription routed through accounts that exclude training on call data. PHI in call transcripts is encrypted at rest and access is role-based with a full CallLog audit trail. HIPAA attestation is targeted Q2 2026. PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25 are live today.
