The problem
Up to 40% of inbound calls go unanswered at small businesses — after hours, during busy periods, when staff are with customers. Each missed call costs real money.
Why Dao instead
The alternatives you already know — voicemail, a human front desk, or a phone system nobody picks up — all leak revenue. Here’s the mechanism that closes each gap.
| Voicemail | Human front desk | Dao AI receptionist | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Answers after hours | ✗ Message only | ✗ Staff went home | ✓ 24/7, books real appointments |
| Busy periods | ✗ 85% never call back | ✗ On hold or dropped | ✓ Answers instantly, every caller |
| Languages | — | Whatever staff speak | ✓ English, Thai, Chinese, Indonesian |
| Booking & follow-up | ✗ No booking | ✗ Manual, easy to miss | ✓ Books + SMS confirmation |
| Monthly cost | “Free” — but loses $400+/call | Salary + benefits, one shift only | From $199/mo, 24/7, scales across 5–10 branches |
Built for every front desk
Dao runs on a shared pod — one intelligent agent serves 5–10 businesses in your group, each with its own phone number, profile, hours, and services. Expansion means adding another agent, not re-engineering.
Appointments, emergency triage, insurance questions, recalls.
Anchor verticalConsultations, treatment questions, membership plans. High-value calls, never missed.
Urgent care triage, vaccination bookings, boarding inquiries. Pet parents call at all hours.
Bookings, package upgrades, gift cards. Perfect English for international guests.
