## Resource

Meet Your New AI Receptionist (No Benefits Required) 🤖 After 7 years of saying "sorry, we don't do live answering," we are announcing SimpleIntake , our AI-powered solution that finally answers your phones 24/7. The backstory: Every since Productive Therapist began in 2018, practice owners have been asking if we can live answer their phones. It was never possible, until now. Enter SimpleIntake: The AI receptionist that never sleeps, never takes lunch breaks, and definitely never calls in sick with "food poisoning" after a long weekend. Here's what it actually does: Answers calls 24/7 with full knowledge of your practice Knows your fees, insurance, specialties, and policies Books consultation calls directly with your human intake coordinator Includes an AI chatbot for your website (that people actually want to use!) Comes with a full HIPAA-compliant CRM if you want the whole enchilada Most importantly: This isn't replacing your intake team, it's making their lives better and their jobs easier. The AI handles the "Do you take Blue Cross?" questions at midnight. Your human coordinator handles the heart-to-heart connection work during business hours. The numbers: $97/month + 19¢ per minute vs. $2-4 per minute for call centers. Yup, the math checks out. Ready to never miss another call? Listen to demo calls and sign-up at productivetherapist.com This is an exciting time for the team at Productive Therapist. And we are excited to help more therapists connect with more clients. Thanks for listening!
