Mornings open with a wall of calls; the rest of the day your front desk is with patients and the phone rings out. Meet Hank, the 24/7 AI receptionist from WebCallHub: it books and reschedules appointments, answers Kela and hours questions, takes prescription-refill and callback requests — and hands anything clinical straight to a human. It does not diagnose, and it points real emergencies to 112.
It's rarely one bad hour. It's the same predictable gaps, every single day — and each one is a patient who needed something simple and couldn't get through.
Booking and rescheduling. "Kuuluuko tämä Kela-korvauksen piiriin?" Prescription-refill requests that turn into voicemail tag. "The lab said to call about my results." And the anxious evening question — "should I come in, or wait until morning?" Your receptionist can't be on the phone and in the room at once, and a nurse shouldn't spend the morning replaying voicemails. Hank takes the routine load off the desk and routes the clinical part to the right person — fast, and on the record.
Hank handles front-desk logistics only. It never assesses symptoms, never interprets results, and never decides whether a patient should come in — those always go to your clinical staff, and emergencies go to 112.
Hank is a natural-voice AI receptionist that absorbs the routine front-desk work — and is built to stop, disclose, and escalate the instant a call turns clinical.
Hank offers real open slots from your calendar, books new appointments, and moves existing ones — evenings, weekends, or while your desk is with another patient. The classic "I need to move Tuesday" call no longer ties up the phone.
Kela-corvaus eligibility basics, aukioloajat, hinta, where to park, which entrance — Hank answers the everyday questions instantly from your clinic's real information, so the desk isn't repeating the same five answers all day.
Hank takes the medication, the patient's details and the reason, and logs a structured reseptin uusinta request for a clinician to review. It never approves or changes a prescription — that stays a doctor's decision — but the request is never lost to voicemail again.
"Call me about my results" or "I have a question for the doctor" becomes a clean, structured callback in your queue — name, number, reason, urgency — so a nurse or doctor follows up with full context instead of a half-second voicemail.
Hank does not diagnose. Anything clinical goes to your staff; anything that sounds like an emergency gets one instruction — call 112 or go to päivystys. Safe, non-diagnostic, and configured to your clinic's protocols during setup.
Hank switches automatically to the caller's language — fluent Finnish for local patients, English for internationals, students and expats. One receptionist, both languages, no extra hire and no after-hours rota.
This matters too much to be vague about. Hank does not give medical diagnoses, does not interpret symptoms or test results, and does not advise on doses or treatment. It is a front desk, not a doctor. Every clinical question is escalated to your staff, and any sign of a real emergency triggers one response: call 112 or go to the nearest emergency department. We write these escalation and emergency rules with you during setup so they match your clinic's duty of care — honest AI disclosure and a clear human path are built in, not bolted on.
You don't configure anything. We set it up for you in 5 business days — including your escalation and 112 rules — then Hank answers your calls for a flat monthly price. No app, no hardware, no per-minute surprises.

No. Hank is strictly non-diagnostic — it never interprets symptoms, never tells a caller what condition they have, and never advises on medication doses. It handles the front-desk work: booking, rescheduling, hours, location, pricing, Kela-corvaus questions, and taking prescription-refill or callback requests. The moment a caller asks anything clinical — "should I come in?", "is this rash serious?", "can I double my dose?" — Hank says clearly that it can't assess that, and either escalates to your clinical staff during hours or logs the request for a clinician callback. We configure these boundaries with you during setup so they match your clinic's protocols.
Hank is trained to recognise emergency language — chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, stroke signs, suicidal statements — and to respond immediately with one instruction: call 112 (the Finnish emergency number) or go to the nearest päivystys / emergency department. It does not try to manage the situation, book an appointment, or take a message in those cases; getting the caller to emergency services is the only goal. This 112-first behaviour is built in and reviewed with you so it reflects your clinic's duty of care.
Yes — as a request capture, not a clinical decision. Hank takes the caller's name, the medication, and any details your clinic needs, then logs a structured refill request for a doctor or nurse to review and approve. Hank never approves, denies, or changes a prescription itself — renewing a reseptti is always a clinician's call. What you get is every refill request captured cleanly, even at 22:00 on a Sunday, instead of a voicemail your nurse has to chase the next morning.
Yes. Hank speaks fluent Finnish and English and switches automatically to whatever the caller uses. Patients can ask about aukioloajat (opening hours), Kela-korvaus, hinta (price), ajanvaraus (booking) and reseptin uusinta (refills) entirely in Finnish — or in English for international patients, students and expats. It's natural conversation, not a phone menu, in both languages.
Hank is GDPR-first and EU-hosted in Helsinki (Hetzner). Calls are handled with consent, transcripts are encrypted, and patients have the right to erasure on request; a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is available. Important boundary: Hank is a front-desk layer, not a patient-record system — it does not read from or write into your potilastietojärjestelmä (Kanta / Apotti / your EHR), and it does not store clinical records. It captures booking and callback details and hands them to your team, keeping the regulated clinical record entirely inside your existing systems.
5 business days, done for you. We train Hank on your clinic's services, hours, pricing and Kela details, write your escalation and 112 rules with you, install the call button on your site (WordPress, Wix or a script tag), connect your booking calendar, and run a test call. Rescheduling works the same as booking: a patient who needs to move an appointment is offered real open slots and the change is made on the call, so you stop losing a slot to a no-show and a chair or room to an empty booking.
Open the live clinic demo or click the green call button in the bottom-right corner. Ask it to book or move an appointment, ask about Kela-corvaus or opening hours, or request a prescription refill — and watch it hand off the moment you ask something clinical. This is exactly what your patients would experience on your clinic's website.
Done-for-you setup in 5 business days. €390 setup, then €49/mo. 14-day free trial, no credit card. EU-hosted in Helsinki, GDPR-first, non-diagnostic by design.
