Our review

Annie, from Salt Lake City startup Annie Labs, is an AI receptionist for dental practices that the company calls a "digital coworker." It answers every call 24/7, books and reschedules appointments, answers patient questions and handles front-desk tasks such as insurance verification. Each office trains Annie on its own policies, and the practice controls what the agent says and does.

Annie integrates with Dentrix, Open Dental, Eaglesoft, Denticon, Curve Dental and CareStack, among others, and schedules directly into the PMS. The company says it is trusted by more than 1,000 dentists, DSOs and partners. Annie Labs raised a $4 million seed round co-led by Chicago Ventures and Las Olas Venture Capital.

Who it's for: single offices and growing groups that want after-hours and overflow call coverage that books real appointments.

Watch-outs: pricing isn't published and outcome data is thin. Note that the product lives at helloannie.com, not annie.ai. Test complex insurance and emergency calls before going live.

Our take: 7.2. A credible, well-integrated newcomer.
