The orchestration layer that launches agent sessions, watches them for trouble — rate limits, context exhaustion, dead sessions — and recovers them automatically, using deterministic scanning instead of fragile notifications.
A kiosk and mobile intake flow where patients check themselves in — confirm demographics and insurance, sign policies, answer pre-visit questions — and drop straight into the live clinic queue.
Building agent systems inside a real business — or running a clinic and wondering what this could look like for you? That's exactly the conversation I want to have. No form, no funnel.
