What we handle

Served in their language. Summarized in yours.

Language on the first ring

The greeting offers English or Spanish, and callers can switch at any point. The AI receptionist handles both.

Spanish-speaking agents, 24/7

When a caller needs a person, a Spanish-speaking agent takes over — day or night — with the full context of the call.

Messages in English

Every call is written up for your team in English, with the caller's own words noted where they matter.

Legal intake in Spanish

New-client intake runs in Spanish to the same script, so a Spanish-speaking caller gets the same attention as everyone else.

Residents and customers

Maintenance requests, service calls and bookings work the same way in both languages, following the same rules.

Patients

Appointments and after-hours messages for Spanish-speaking patients, with the same privacy safeguards as every other call.

Example call flow

A Spanish-speaking caller at 9:15 p.m.

In English

Your team receives the summary in English.

An illustration of how a call can run — not a recording of a real call. Your own rules decide each step.

When a person takes over

AI on the first ring. A person the moment it matters.

The AI receptionist introduces itself as a virtual assistant and offers a person. No pretending. A trained agent takes over when:

The caller asks for a person — at any point, in English or Spanish.
The call is urgent by your definition. You write the rules; we follow them.
The caller is upset. TIOS reads sentiment and moves the call to a person first.
The request is complex, sensitive or outside your script.

Every handover carries the full context — who is calling, why, and what has been said — so nobody has to repeat themselves.

Who answers

A real Spanish-speaking team.

Spanish and English calls are handled by trained agents, including Tribe's team in San José, Costa Rica, with Spanish-speaking agents available around the clock. The AI receptionist answers in both languages, and hands over to a Spanish-speaking agent whenever a caller needs a person.

Works with your tools

Into the systems you already use.

Messages arrive in English by email or text, and bookings go into your calendar or your practice, property or field-service software.
