FAQ

Questions before choosing a first use case

The best first deployment is usually the workflow with high volume, clear rules, and obvious handoff points.

Which Embage use case should I start with?

Most teams start by automating the front desk task that creates repetitive manual work: patient scheduling, legal intake, FAQs, or order tracking.

Can one Embage receptionist handle multiple workflows?

Yes. One receptionist can route conversations by intent and use specialized sub-agents for tasks like looking up schedules, updating client files, writing databases, or triggering integrations.

How secure are the client files collected during intake?

All client files and transcripts flow into a dedicated SQLite database per tenant. This database-per-tenant architecture keeps your client records completely isolated and safe.
