- Payment processors like Square, Stripe terminal, PatientFi standalone (replaced by Vital Pay)
- Speed-to-lead tools like Podium, Birdeye (replaced by Catch dashboard)

## Core Products

### Kaia (AI Receptionist)
Kaia is an AI voice and text receptionist that answers every call and message with full patient context. Unlike generic AI phone bots, Kaia holds the patient's entire history: prior treatments, communications, notes, quotes, and payment status. This context allows Kaia to answer specific questions ("When is my post-op?"), book consultations, collect deposits, and triage urgent calls. Kaia operates 24/7 in English and Spanish and is HIPAA-compliant.

**How Kaia handles a call:**
1. Patient calls the practice number
2. Kaia answers with the patient's name and context (recognized via caller ID + EMR lookup)
3. Kaia references the patient's last visit, pending quote, or upcoming appointment
4. Kaia books, reschedules, or collects a deposit based on the conversation
5. All actions sync bidirectionally to the practice's EMR
6. Staff receives a summary with transcript and recommended follow-up

### Patient Companion
A secure, mobile-first patient app that guides patients through every stage: pre-consult education, quote review with line-item pricing, payment method selection, procedure preparation, post-op recovery milestones, and repeat care reminders. Patients see their quotes, choose financing vs. cash vs. card, and confirm their dates without calling the office.

### Vital Pay (Payment Processing)
Triple-method payment processing where the practice receives the same net amount regardless of whether the patient pays by:
- Credit/debit card (with configurable dual pricing or surcharge)
- ACH / bank transfer
- Third-party financing (Alphaeon, CareCredit integration)

Vital Pay eliminates processing fees as a cost center. Practices recapture $35,000-$72,000+ per year in fees that previously went to processors.

**How Vital Pay saves money:**
1. Patient receives quote via Patient Companion
2. Patient selects payment method (card, ACH, or financing)
3. Dual pricing or surcharge is applied transparently per jurisdiction rules
4. Practice receives the same take-home regardless of method
5. Settlement, reconciliation, and reporting happen automatically in one dashboard

### Consultation Intelligence
Captures the consultation conversation to automatically generate SOAP notes, pull inventory and product usage, analyze patient objections, and coach coordinators on improving close rates and time utilization. Turns every consult into structured data without manual charting.

### Catch (Speed-to-Lead Dashboard)
Real-time dashboard showing every inbound lead, response time, and conversion status. Practices see exactly how fast they responded, which leads went cold, and where revenue is leaking. The average aesthetic practice loses $128K+ annually to slow follow-up.

### EMR Integration
Bidirectional sync with the major aesthetic EMRs:
- Nextech
- Dr. Chrono (DrChrono)
- ModMed (Modernizing Medicine)
- AdvancedMD
- Symplast
- Zenoti

Coming soon for cosmetic dental: Dentrix, Open Dental, Eaglesoft, Curve.

No double entry, no exports, no re-keying. Bookings, follow-ups, deposits, and notes write straight back to the chart.

## Comparisons

### Ad Vital vs Podium
Podium is a general communications platform that added an aesthetics vertical in 2024. Key differences: Ad Vital integrates with existing EMRs (no migration required), provides deeper AI context from patient history, recovers payment processing fees by steering patients to lower-cost rails (card, ACH, financing, and payment plans), and operates without 12-month lock-in contracts. Podium requires full EMR replacement, charges standard processing rates (2.15-2.9%), and mandates annual contracts.
