Even more telling: they\u2019ve reduced call transfer time by 50%, creating a better experience for both customers and employees.<\/p>\n<p>Another customer example is VGM Group, a post-acute healthcare leader, using AI Receptionist to streamline communications across departments and cut down on the 40-50% of front desk calls that were previously missed. After a successful pilot, they\u2019re rolling out AI Receptionist company-wide.<\/p>\n<p>VGM\u2019s Help Desk now manages routine inquiries using custom AI prompts, while its contact center\u2019s AI Agent has handled over 70,000 patient calls in just six months.
