SMS and this assistant

The same front desk, on your own number

This page shows the half of a text channel that is actually hard: an assistant that knows the practice's own prices and appointment types, holds a slot as a structured booking, and reads a signed-in patient's own visits back without asking them to recite a date of birth.

1. Point the assistant at your site so your own prices, appointment types and policies become the answers it gives, as published content rather than a re-typed copy. 2. Expose the book as a small MCP server: the slots you are willing to offer, a lookup by reference and email, and a read that only answers for the signed-in person. 3. Give the booking tool an action card with a real slot picker, so a time is chosen in one tap rather than negotiated over six messages. 4. Wire the identity hand-off so a returning patient is recognised and their own appointments answer without them typing anything they have typed before. 5. Connect the number last, once the answers are right — the channel is the easy half, and it inherits everything above unchanged.

What runs on this page

The assistant in the phone frame is a live Busymate AI assistant, grounded in this site's own published pages.
The visit list, the payment options and the appointment book come from this demo's own MCP server — real tool calls, not pasted text.
The page registers its own actions over WebMCP, so an agent can highlight a visit type or open the booking form.
Signing in as the demo patient is a real identity hand-off: the assistant receives a name and an email address it never asked for.

What is seeded rather than connected

There is no SMS number behind this page. Nothing typed here becomes a text message, and no carrier, phone or handset is involved at any point.
Ridgeway Dental is an invented practice. The address, the phone number, the email, the clinicians, the prices and the appointments are all fictional — nothing here dials or reaches anybody.
Appointments made here live in memory until this demo restarts. No chair is held and no reminder is scheduled.
