Practical guide to using voice AI for appointment reminders in hospitals. Multi-language support, timing strategy, and result tracking.

## Prerequisites

- An Edesy account ([sign up free](https://voice-agent.edesy.in/))
- A business phone number (optional — you can test in browser first)
- 10 minutes of setup time

## Step 1: Create Your Account

Sign up at [voice-agent.edesy.in](https://voice-agent.edesy.in/). The free trial gives you access to all features including 75+ languages, campaign engine, and post-call extraction.

## Step 2: Create an AI Agent

Click "Create Agent" and configure:

- **Name**: Give your agent a descriptive name
- **Language**: Select your language (Hindi-English is the most popular for Indian businesses)
- **System Prompt**: Describe what the agent should do (we provide templates for common use cases)
- **Greeting**: Set the opening message your agent will use

## Step 3: Configure Call Flow

Set up how your agent handles different scenarios:

- What to do when the customer is interested
- How to handle objections or questions
- When to escalate to a human agent
- What data to collect during the call

## Step 4: Test in Browser

Use the browser-based testing to try your agent without needing a phone number. Speak naturally and verify the agent responds correctly in your chosen language.

## Step 5: Connect Phone Number

Add your business phone number to start receiving or making real calls. Edesy supports Twilio, Exotel, Plivo, Vobiz, and other providers.

## Step 6: Go Live

Activate your agent and start handling calls. Monitor performance through the analytics dashboard.

## Best Practices

- Start with a clear, focused use case (don't try to handle everything at once)
- Test thoroughly in browser before going live
- Monitor first 50 calls closely and refine the prompt
- Use post-call extraction to capture structured data
- Set up compliance features (AI disclosure, recording consent)

## Results to Expect

Based on platform data:

- **3.4 lakh+ connected conversations and 1.8 lakh+ minutes of talk time** on the Edesy platform
- **INR 4-6 per minute** all-inclusive cost
- **24/7 availability** — no missed calls
