AI front desk for Qatar and the GCC

Your front desk closes. The enquiries do not.

What is an AI front desk, and what does it cost in Qatar?

An AI front desk answers your business phone and replies by SMS around the clock, qualifies the caller and captures the consultation, then hands it to a human who confirms it. RELCO runs two tiers: Text-Back at $197/mo plus $250 setup, and the full AI Front Desk at $497/mo plus $750 setup. Live in 1 to 5 days.

RELCO picks up the call your team cannot, answers the text that arrives at midnight, and captures the person before they dial the next name on the list. It qualifies and captures the booking; a person confirms it, and it never gives clinical, dosage or treatment-suitability advice.

Live in 1 to 5 days. Runs on the number you already publish.

The math

Put your own numbers in.

No industry averages and no borrowed case studies. Four fields, your figures, and the arithmetic in plain sight underneath.

Enter it in the currency you selected above. Change the currency and this field converts with it.

Enquiries slipping outside staffed hours, per month0
Enquiries the AI picks up, per month0
New clients recovered, per month0
Recovered revenue, per month$0
Less the AI Front Desk at $497 a month$0
Net, per month$0

Method: enquiries per week multiplied by 4.33 weeks, multiplied by the share arriving outside staffed hours, gives the enquiries that slip. We assume the AI reaches about 60% of those, not all of them, and that your own close rate applies to the ones it reaches. Average client value is the figure you typed, in the currency you selected. Nothing on this panel is an industry average, and nothing is inflated in our favour.

How it works

Three steps, and no new software for your team.

RELCO sits behind the number you already publish. Nobody at your front desk has to learn a dashboard.

1

Point the line

We forward your existing number to RELCO and set up the SMS reply on it. Nothing changes on your signage, your ads or your Google listing.

2

It answers and captures

It picks up on the first ring, answers the questions it has been trained on, asks what a good front desk would ask, and captures the consultation with the name, number and reason for calling.

3

A person confirms

The captured consultation reaches your team with the whole conversation attached. A human confirms the time with the client. The AI does not write into your calendar by itself.

An empty consultation room, lights still on, after closing time.

The second call at 9pm is not a small loss.

You already paid for that enquiry. In ad spend, in signage, in the years it took to become the name someone thought of first. The only thing that went wrong is that nobody picked up.

What it answers today

Phone and SMS. That is the whole list.

We would rather show you the boundary now than have you find it in week two.

Inbound phone calls

It answers in a natural voice, in the language the caller opens in, and keeps going for as long as they want to talk.

Missed call to instant SMS

If a call goes unanswered, a text goes out within seconds that picks the conversation back up and takes the details in writing.

Inbound SMS

A text to your published number is handled the same way a call is, on the same script and with the same qualification.

What is not live yet

The AI does not answer on WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger or web chat. It does not write into booking software, and there is no live calendar integration. It captures the consultation and hands it to a person, who confirms it. WhatsApp on this page is how you reach us. It is not a channel the AI answers on.

Scope: the AI qualifies and captures the booking, and a person confirms it. It never gives clinical, dosage or treatment-suitability advice, and RELCO makes no compliance certification claim.

Talk to Mia

AI front desk for a sample clinic

Scripted demo Shows how Mia handles a typical enquiry. Every reply is written in advance. Nothing here is generated live.

Ask what you would ask a front desk after hours. Mia answers in your language, captures a consultation request, quotes a price, or hands you to a person when she should not answer.

Mia never gives medical advice. Anything clinical goes to a human.

Against the alternatives

Why not a person, or an answering service?

The honest comparison is not a great receptionist against AI. It is a voicemail at 9pm against an answer.

The receptionist and answering-service figures are indicative market ranges for context, not sourced research. RELCO is not here to replace your front desk. It covers the nights, the weekends and the second caller, so the person at the desk can look after the client standing in front of them.

Onboarding

Fourteen days, start to steady.

Text-Back can be live in a day or two. The full front desk takes the fortnight below, and most of it is us working rather than you.

Days 1 to 3
Discovery

We listen to how enquiries actually reach you, where the gaps fall in a week, and what your team currently says on the phone.

Days 4 to 7
Build and train

Your services, prices, hours and tone go into the script, in each language you need. You read all of it before anything goes live.

Days 8 to 11
Test

We call it and text it ourselves, in every language it will answer in. Then you do the same, and we fix whatever sounds wrong.

Days 12 to 14
Go live

The line switches over. Your team gets a one-page brief on how captured consultations arrive and what to do with them.

Day 15 onward
Tuning

A monthly readout of calls answered, enquiries captured, and the places the script still gets it wrong. Then we change the script.

Common questions

What business owners in Qatar ask us.

What is an AI front desk?

It is a trained AI receptionist that answers your business line and replies to texts around the clock, in the language the caller opens in. It answers the questions it has been trained on, qualifies the enquiry, and captures the consultation so a person on your team can confirm it.

What does it cost in Qatar?

Text-Back is $197 a month plus a one-time setup of $250. The full AI Front Desk is $497 a month plus a one-time setup of $750. Reviews and Reactivation is an extra $300 a month. Prices are billed in USD, and the QAR figure shown on this page is an indicative conversion.

Which channels does it answer on?

Phone and SMS, and nothing else. It does not answer on WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger or web chat. WhatsApp on this page is simply how you reach us to talk about it.

Does it book into my calendar?

No. There is no live calendar integration and the AI does not write into booking software. It captures the consultation with the name, number, reason for calling and preferred time, then hands that to a person on your side, who confirms it with the client.

Which languages does it speak?

It is set up per client. Arabic and English are the usual pair in Qatar, and we have configured Urdu, Hindi, French, German and Portuguese as well. The caller opens in whichever language they prefer and the AI continues in it.

Will it give medical or treatment advice?

No, and this is a hard boundary rather than a setting. The AI qualifies and captures the booking. It never gives clinical, dosage or treatment-suitability advice, and it routes anything of that kind to your team. RELCO also makes no compliance certification claim.

Does it replace my receptionist?

No. It covers the hours a person cannot: the nights, the weekends, and the second caller while your front desk is already with someone. Your team keeps the work that needs a human, and stops losing the enquiries that used to go unanswered.

Will it sound like a robot?

Judge that yourself rather than take our word for it. On the call we will stand up a demo line on your own services and prices. You ring it, you text it, and if it does not sound like somebody you would put on your phones, you walk away.

How fast can it go live?

Text-Back is live in one to two days. The full AI Front Desk takes three to five days to go live, and about a fortnight to settle in properly through the onboarding above.

What if it does not work for us?

Thirty days money back, and there is no long-term contract to escape from. You are month to month from the start, with no notice period. We would rather you left early than stayed unhappy.

Founding clients

We are taking on our first businesses in Qatar now.

RELCO is built and running. There are no case studies to show you yet, and we are not going to invent any. What we will do is stand up a demo line on your own services and prices, and let you ring it.
