Where you spend your time

Your time is money

We know how your week actually goes

Most veterinary front desks are not short on caring staff; they are short on time. New client registrations, appointment bookings, booster reminders, prescription requests, and insurance paperwork quickly fill every hour between patients.

Actionist builds AI agents for Veterinary Clinics that handle your digital admin, so your team can focus on the animals in front of them.

What matters to you

Appointments that fill themselves
Online booking and reminders keep the diary full without a phone call.
Boosters and vaccines on time
Reminder letters go out before a pet falls due, not after.
Claims that keep moving
Insurance paperwork chased until it pays out, not left in a drawer.
Reception phones freed up
Routine calls handled first so urgent ones get through.
Built around your clinic
These are examples. Build a custom agent for any admin job your clinic repeats, from boarding intake to lab follow-ups.

And hundreds of other tasks you do manually..

An agent can take a lot off your team's plate. Take a look below to see the time and cost you could save by adding AI agents to your Veterinary Clinics team's day.

Trust & control

You stay in control

Client records, payment details, and insurance paperwork all deserve a human in the loop, so every agent you build for your practice starts under your supervision, and you choose how much control to hand over.

You set the supervision

Start with drafting for approval and move to a trusted routine once you're confident. Anything destructive always asks first, and that cannot be turned off.

Approve from your phone

A reminder letter, a claim chase, or a rota change waits for a one-tap approval on Telegram or Slack, wherever you are.

Every run is logged

Every action is recorded step-by-step, with screenshots and a full transcript, so you can see exactly what happened and why.

Your data stays yours

Client and pet information sits in an encrypted vault, memory stays on your device, and a self-host option is available if you need it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will it actually reply to a booking enquiry properly, or just sound like a bot?

This is what AI agents for veterinary clinics are built for. The agent drafts a reply in your practice's own tone, offering two real open slots pulled straight from the diary, and it waits for your approval before anything reaches a client. You brief it once with a few examples of how your team actually talks to clients, and it keeps that voice from then on.

We don't have anything fancy, just a booking calendar and a card machine. Will this even work for us?

Yes. Actionist's desktop app operates your screen the way a person would, clicking and typing in your actual booking calendar and card terminal, so it works even where there's no public API to connect to. Whatever you already use to book appointments and take payments, the agent can learn to run it.

Will it message a client or book something without me seeing it first?

Not unless you set it up that way. Approval Modes let you choose the level of control: suggest a draft for you to send, ask each time before it acts, or hand over a routine job once you trust it. Anything irreversible, like sending a client message or confirming a payment, always asks first, and that cannot be turned off. Approvals land on your phone through Telegram or Slack, one tap away.

Enquiries and messages come in outside opening hours, can it handle those overnight?

The desktop agent runs while your computer and the app are open. For genuine overnight and weekend cover, without a machine left switched on, you can add the hosted cloud runtime on a paid plan, and the agent keeps working from there. It's a separate step, not something switched on by default.

Is this going to replace reception, or my job?

No. It takes the repetitive admin, typing details, chasing forms, confirming bookings, so your reception and practice team have more time for the clients and animals in front of them. The relationship with a client, and the judgement calls only a person can make, stay with your team.

Can you build an agent for the specific way our practice runs, not just what's shown here?

Yes. The teams, apps, and jobs on this page are real examples, not the limit of what's possible. If your practice handles something differently, referral paperwork a certain way, a particular supplier's ordering process, a house style for client letters, you can build a custom agent for that exact job, briefed the same way you'd brief a new starter.

Our clients trust us with their pet's history and their payment details, how is that data kept safe?

Client and pet information sits in an encrypted vault, and the agent's memory of your practice stays on your own device rather than a shared server. Actionist never trains its models on your data, every action is logged with a full transcript so you can see exactly what happened, and a self-host option is available if you need it.

None of us are technical, how long does it actually take to get one of these running?

There's no code involved. You brief the agent in plain English, the same way you'd explain a job to a new receptionist, and connecting an app like your booking calendar or accounting software is a guided one-minute step. Most practices have their first agent running the same day, starting small and handing over more once it's proven itself.

What does this actually cost, and is it worth it for a practice our size?

Think of it in hours handed back and fewer things slipping through the cracks, missed boosters, stalled claims, an overdue invoice nobody chased. AI agents for veterinary clinics scale with how many agents you run and whether you add the cloud runtime, so there isn't one fixed price to quote here. The clearest way to see what it's worth for your practice is a free personalised demo.
