After-hours & emergencies — answered in under a second.
KarunaAI is an AI vet receptionist for Australian clinics— overflow and after-hours voice contact, not a replacement for your reception team. Emergency routing to your protocol, warm transfer to on-call, bookings into Google Calendar, and SMS when enabled.

PMS roadmap in progress: native write-back for ezyVet · RxWorks · Provet Cloud. Today we book into Google Calendar; pilots mirror into your PMS until sync ships.
Built for after-hours & overflow first — not replacing your PMS.
Most pilots forward only missed or closed-hour calls. Your team keeps ezyVet / RxWorks for the day book; KarunaAI catches what voicemail loses tonight.

Preparing trial call…
Call duration appears here once connected.
Trial only. Emergency transfer to a vet or on-call mobile is not available in this browser test. If something sounds urgent, contact your nearest emergency vet directly.
In conversations with Australian clinic owners and practice managers, the same phone problems keep showing up — especially after hours and during consult blocks. KarunaAI is designed for those calls first.
1 in 3 calls go unanswered
~$8K/mo lost
Front desk is on another call, on a coffee break, or it's after-hours. Each missed call is a pet owner who'll just dial the next clinic on Google.
K
KarunaAI picks up in under 1 second. Every. Single. Time. — at 2pm or 2am.
After-hours emergencies fall through
Liability risk
Your answering service can't triage. Pet owners with a real emergency get a generic 'call us tomorrow' — and you read about it in a 1-star Google review.
K
Symptom-aware prompts aligned to your clinic protocol: escalate to your on-call vet, your nominated ER, or warm transfer — with full context. KarunaAI does not diagnose; it routes and hands off.
20–30% no-show rate
$3K+/mo wasted
Empty consultation slots = pure lost revenue. Your team doesn't have time to call every patient the day before.
K
Automated SMS confirmations 24h prior + reschedule-by-text. Reduces no-shows by up to 35%.
Reception drowns in repeat questions
10+ hrs/week
'What time do you close?' · 'How much for a vaccination?' · 'Do you take my insurance?' — burning hours your nurses could spend on actual patients.
K
KarunaAI answers every FAQ from your trained knowledge base. Frees staff for in-clinic care.
Receptionist turnover hurts
$15K+ to replace
Hire, train, retain, repeat. The vet front-desk role has 40%+ annual turnover, and every gap means more missed calls.
K
KarunaAI never quits, never calls in sick, never has a bad day. Cost: less than 10% of one FTE.
Peak-hour overflow
Lost first-time clients
Monday mornings, post-holiday rushes, school pickup windows — your phone rings off the hook and good clients hang up.
K
Unlimited concurrent calls. 100 callers at once = 100 calls answered.
Multilingual clients give up
Untapped market
Your reception speaks English. Your suburb has Mandarin, Hindi, Arabic, Vietnamese pet owners who'd love to come — if they could communicate.
K
Native-quality conversation in 30+ languages, auto-detected from the first 'hello'.
Repeat scripts & follow-ups
Forgotten revenue
Flea/tick refills, vaccine reminders, post-op check-ins — half never get called back, half buy on Amazon instead.
K
Automated SMS reminders at booking confirmation, 24h prior, and 2h prior — no manual calls needed. Reduces no-shows by up to 35%. Coming soon: outbound recall campaigns.
What it does
Everything your after-hours line must do. Faster, calmer, 24/7.
Purpose-built for the calls that hurt most when nobody picks up: after hours, lunch rush, and emergencies. Bookings land in Google Calendar today; native PMS write-back is on the roadmap.
Emergency escalation
Red-flag symptoms and your configured keywords trigger an immediate warm transfer to your on-call number — with context in the owner email. We assist and escalate; we do not diagnose.
Appointment booking on your calendar
Checks live availability in Google Calendar, books the slot, and supports cancel / lookup on the phone. Your team sees the appointment where they already work.
SMS confirmations & reminders
Booking confirmation plus 24-hour and 2-hour reminders when SMS is enabled — with Reply STOP compliance for Australian rules.
Owner email after every call
Summary, transcript, and recording link to your inbox so you can review what was promised without logging into another system.

Why KarunaAI
We don't do everything for everyone. We do vets, brilliantly.
Generic voice AI is impressive in a demo and clueless in production — especially in healthcare. Here's the honest comparison.

Today: bookings sync to Google Calendar. Native ezyVet / RxWorks write-back is on our roadmap — ask us on the demo if that's a blocker.
We email Wise payment instructions after your demo (with a unique KA- reference). After payment, open clinic setup and verify that reference.
Running more than 3 locations? Our Group plan gives you centralised reporting across every site, a single monthly invoice, and a dedicated account manager. Contact us → to discuss your group.
Before you decide
Demo before payment
No checkout on the website. After a fit call we email Wise instructions with a unique KA- reference.
All-in cost estimate
Use the revenue calculator for subscription + overage at your call volume — not just the plan floor.
14-day subscription refund
Money-back on monthly fees after go-live. Setup fee terms are in FAQ — ask on the demo.
Tax invoice on request
Export tax invoice (Karuna AI LLP) after payment. Ask finance@karunaai.com if you need GST detail before paying.
KarunaAI is a communications layer — not a clinician. We never diagnose, prescribe, or replace professional judgement.
Escalation, not diagnosis
Symptom prompts follow Australian Veterinary Association (AVA) after-hours guidance and the emergency protocol your clinic configures at onboarding (keywords, transfer targets, after-hours policy). The assistant routes and summarises — it does not conclude what is wrong with an animal.
Humans on the hook for care
Registered veterinarians and the clinic remain responsible for patient care, regulatory compliance (including state veterinary boards and APVMA rules where they apply to products and claims), and professional indemnity. We recommend discussing any phone-triage or AI-assist workflow with your industry insurer before rollout.
Transparent operations
Calls can be recorded and transcribed per your disclosure and our Privacy policy. You can review what was said, tune scripts, and prove how emergencies were escalated.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Most clinics are answering live calls within about 48 hours after kickoff. We configure your hours, FAQs, emergency protocol, and Google Calendar; you approve the voice and script in a short review; then you add call-forwarding to your KarunaAI line.
You'll book a short demo first. If we're a fit, we email Wise payment instructions with a unique KA- reference. After you pay, open clinic setup and verify that reference—we only collect detailed clinic intake once the inbound payment is confirmed on our Wise account.
KarunaAI uses low-latency voice with empathy-tuned prompts for Australian vet reception. We tune the script to your clinic during onboarding; you approve it before go-live.
We're aligned with Australian Veterinary Association (AVA) after-hours guidance and the emergency protocol you configure at onboarding. Red-flag symptoms or keywords trigger immediate warm transfer to your on-call number, with summary context in your owner email. KarunaAI does not diagnose; it assists and escalates. Discuss phone-triage coverage with your professional indemnity insurer before go-live.
Today, bookings and availability use Google Calendar—the fastest path for most indie clinics. Native two-way PMS sync (ezyVet, RxWorks, Provet) is on our roadmap. If PMS write-back is a hard requirement, tell us on the demo and we'll be upfront about timing.
Every plan includes a generous monthly call minute allowance — 500 min on Starter, 1,200 min on Clinic, and 1,500 min per location on Group. For context: a clinic averaging 15 calls/day at 3 min per call uses roughly 1,350 min/month — that fits Clinic with light overage at $0.45/min. If you go over your included minutes, extra usage is billed at AUD $0.45/min and shown transparently on your monthly invoice and dashboard. We alert you at 80% of your allowance so there are never any surprises.
No. KarunaAI handles overflow and after-hours phone load so your team can focus on patients in the building—not endless phone tag at 9pm.
The $399 setup covers a real human onboarding: importing your services and price ranges, tuning voice and script, test calls with your team, and a live go-live review. Your monthly subscription has a 14-day money-back guarantee after go-live; the setup fee is non-refundable.
