Hope it works better than the genAI "receptionist" that a local healthcare provider started using. It's not just worthless, but impossible to get past. It made contacting them via phone, email, or web site literally impossible.

I had to go in to the office just to get a very simple question answered. It should have been a 30 second phone call, not a 30 minute round-trip drive.

Using these things for something like emergency services seems utterly insane to me.
