Case StudyBy Nura Linggih

Appointments booked after the front desk closes.

A well-known clinic in Bali moved appointment booking onto a WhatsApp AI agent that replies in Indonesian and English, checks the clinic's calendar and books the slot, including evenings and weekends when the front desk is closed. In 30 days to mid-October 2026, 90+ people messaged it, and over 80% of its bookings came in English, which suits a clinic that serves Bali's visitors.

Before

  • Booking requests waited for front-desk hours
  • Staff matched each request to the calendar by hand

After

  • Patients book in their own language, any time
  • Slots go straight onto the clinic's calendar, with reminders

A well-known clinic in Bali serves local patients and visitors, and booking requests arrive on WhatsApp at all hours, in Indonesian and in English. Each request used to wait for the front desk to open, read it and find a slot in the calendar.

The clinic now runs booking through a WhatsApp AI agent that replies in the patient's language, checks the clinic's calendar and books the slot, 24/7, evenings and weekends included.

What did Biks build for the clinic?

The agent reads the request, offers open times from the clinic's Google Calendar and books the slot once the patient picks one. Patients get a reminder before their appointment.

The front desk starts each morning with the night's bookings already on the calendar instead of a queue of unanswered messages.

How does it work, step by step?

Booking takes four steps, none of them at the front desk.
