Complete System Overview

This project is a fully automated, voice-based dental receptionist system built using Retell AI, Cal.com, and n8n.

It answers incoming calls, understands caller intent, books or manages appointments, files complaints, handles emergency scenarios safely, and transfers calls to real staff when needed.

The system operates as “Myra” — a friendly, professional virtual receptionist with strict conversation rules, medical safety logic, and seamless human handoff.

🎯 Core Capabilities

  • Intelligent call triage and intent detection

  • Appointment booking, cancellation, and rescheduling via Cal.com

  • Complaint intake through structured voice flows

  • Emergency detection & safe medical routing

  • Warm and cold transfers to live dental staff

  • Multi-agent architecture (Main, Appointment, Complaint)


🧠 How the System Works

1. Call Starts → Main Receptionist Agent (Retell AI)

  • Greets the caller and identifies intent:

    • Appointment

    • Complaint

    • Medical question

    • Transfer request

    • Emergency

  • Applies global tone, identity, and safety rules

  • Routes the caller to the correct agent automatically


2. Appointment Agent (Cal.com Integration)

Triggered when callers want to:

  • Book

  • Cancel

  • Reschedule appointments

Capabilities:

  • Check real-time availability

  • Book appointments

  • Cancel or reschedule existing bookings

  • Confirm details verbally

  • Send confirmation messages

If an error occurs, the call is transferred to human staff.


3. Complaint Agent (n8n Webhook)

Triggered when a caller wants to file a complaint.

The agent collects:

  • Name

  • Age

  • Gender

  • Issue description

  • Email

  • Phone number

Data is sent to n8n via webhook, where it can:

  • Create CRM records

  • Notify staff

  • Log complaints for audits

Emergency or legal complaints are escalated to a live agent.


4. Emergency & Medical Safety Logic

  • Life-threatening symptoms → instructs caller to hang up and dial emergency services immediately

  • Post-surgery concerns → checks if within 72 hours:

    • Within 72 hours → transfer to staff

    • Outside 72 hours → provide safe prep guidance

This ensures medical safety without overstepping.


5. Live Staff Transfers

Transfer options include:

  • General office line

  • Appointment support

  • Complaint handling

Transfers can be warm or cold, depending on the scenario and caller behavior.
