We built the tool we always needed

AppointAI was founded in 2021 by a physician and two healthcare technologists who were tired of watching practices lose thousands of dollars every week to preventable no-shows. We built the automated appointment reminder and AI scheduling platform we always wished existed.

Our Mission

Healthcare practices that run at full capacity

Patient no-shows cost the US healthcare system an estimated $150 billion annually. Independent practices bear the brunt of this — with some losing 15-25% of their scheduled revenue to missed appointments.

Our mission is simple: use automation and AI to close that gap. We believe every patient who books an appointment should show up for it, and every practice should run at the capacity it was designed for.

“I was losing $200,000 a year to no-shows at my own practice. I tried every solution on the market. Nothing worked the way I needed it to. So I built AppointAI.”

What we believe

🏥

Patients first

Every feature we build starts with one question: does this help patients get the care they need? Better scheduling means more patients show up, get treated, and stay healthy.

Automation over administration

Healthcare staff should be caring for patients, not making reminder calls. We automate the repetitive so your team can focus on what matters.

🔒

Security without compromise

We treat patient data like the sensitive healthcare information it is — with strict HIPAA compliance, encryption at every layer, and independent audits.

📈

ROI you can measure

We're not in the business of selling software — we're in the business of recovering lost revenue. Every feature is designed to move the metrics that matter.

Physicians, practice managers, and technologists who've lived the problem from the inside.
