The problem
Where Kannada callers get lost.
Your receptionist speaks Kannada and English, and the Hindi-speaking caller gives up.
Most voice tools sold in India speak Hindi and English only, so Kannada callers are pushed into a second language.
Elderly patients are most comfortable in Kannada and least comfortable with menus.
Questions about timings, fees and parking repeat all day.
Calls after hours go unanswered.

How Pluxo solves this
A receptionist that speaks Kannada.
Kannada spoken end to end
Greeting, questions and booking in Kannada, not a Hindi bot with a Kannada menu option.
Switches if the caller does
A caller who moves to English or Hindi is followed mid-call.
Bengaluru's language mix
Kannada, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and English callers are all answered in their own language.
Books into real slots
It offers only times in each doctor's schedule and confirms on WhatsApp.
Says it is an AI
Its first sentence says it is the clinic's AI receptionist.
Hands over with the transcript
Anything unusual reaches your team on WhatsApp with the conversation.
How a call goes
A call in Kannada, start to finish.

ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ, ನಾನು ನಂದಿ ಕ್ಲಿನಿಕ್ನ AI ರಿಸೆಪ್ಷನಿಸ್ಟ್. ನಾನು ನಿಮಗೆ ಹೇಗೆ ಸಹಾಯ ಮಾಡಲಿ? (Hello, I'm Nandi Clinic's AI receptionist. How can I help?)
Patient
Can my father see the doctor on Saturday morning?
Pluxo
Dr. Rao has Saturday at 10:20 and 11:40. I've sent both to your WhatsApp.
Your team
The booking is in the calendar, and the confirmation went out in Kannada.
Where it helps most
Clinics that hear Kannada every day.
Kannada is the language of Karnataka, and Bengaluru clinics hear it alongside Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam every day.
See how Pluxo works for clinics in Bengaluru.
Languages
11 languages, and it follows the caller.
The receptionist speaks English, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi and Odia. It answers in the language the patient starts in and switches if they do, so a caller who opens in Hindi and drifts into Kannada is never asked to repeat themselves.
You choose which languages your clinic offers and which one it greets in. A clinic in Pune might greet in Marathi and offer Hindi and English. A clinic in Bengaluru might offer five.
What it costs
One published price, minutes included.
Core is ₹2,999 a month plus GST. It includes 250 AI call minutes every month, unlimited WhatsApp, reminders and follow-ups, and your first doctor. There is no setup fee and no commission on bookings.
Paying for a longer term takes 8 percent off quarterly and 20 percent off yearly. Extra doctors start at ₹999 a month each and get cheaper as the team grows. If a busy month uses more than the included minutes, top-ups cost ₹5.50 to ₹7.50 a minute depending on the pack, bought ahead from the dashboard.
Every figure here is the same one on the pricing page, which also works out the total for your number of doctors and term. For how this compares with other tools sold to Indian clinics, see the AI receptionist pricing guide.
What it does not do
Where it stops, on purpose.
A receptionist that oversteps is worse than one that misses a call. These are the lines Pluxo does not cross.
- It does not give medical advice, a diagnosis or a dose, even when a caller insists. It says the doctor will look at it properly and offers a slot.
- In an emergency it tells the caller to hang up and call their local emergency number, before anything else.
- It does not read out reports or approve prescription refills. It notes the request and your team follows up.
- It never offers a time that is not in a doctor’s real schedule, and never double-books.
- It does not pretend to be human. It says it is the clinic’s AI receptionist in its first sentence.
- It does not quote a price you have not given it. Anything it cannot answer goes to your team on WhatsApp, with the conversation attached.
