What they did
What happens when a bot calls your dentist? A user had Meta Muse call to book a routine checkup the week of November 2. The office noticed right away it was an AI and still offered November 2, but then asked which insurance she had. Muse didn't have it, so it couldn't book and politely ended the call. The lesson: give the bot everything the office will ask for before it dials.
How it went
A booked appointment, or a clear note on exactly what the office still needs.
Worth knowing
- One Reddit post with the full call transcript. It failed for a simple reason: missing insurance details. Some offices may not want to book with an AI caller at all.
Prompt
