One front desk, front to back: phone, check-in, clients, booking and billing share one record of each person.

Three assistants, one front desk

Each has a distinct job. Together they are a digital front office: a visitor, a caller and a contact in the same shared list, rather than reception reconciling three records by hand.

Visitor Assistant

A visitor checks in on a tablet by answering your own questions. The people who should know are told by email or SMS within seconds, and reception can see everyone who is in the building.

From $69 CAD a month →

Voice Assistant

Give it your number, opening hours, greeting and the information it should know. It answers callers, takes messages and emails a summary of what each caller wanted.

An AI receptionist for your phone →

Autopilot Assistant

It reads and writes documents, works with spreadsheets and figures, handles receipts and bookkeeping, keeps a thread across a task and can act later on a schedule. It connects only to the mail, calendar, Drive and repositories you choose.

Visitor Assistant — Quick Demo

Three minutes, on the real product: a visitor signs themselves in on your tablet, the person they came to see is told, and reception sees everyone in the building.

Visitors

The check-in screen welcoming a visitor to Northside Family Clinic, with a Start check-in button.
Step one

The visitor signs themselves in

One question at a time, in large type, on your own tablet. The questions are yours, and the confirmation shows a badge number rather than a name, because a waiting room can read over somebody’s shoulder.

A phone lock screen showing the text message: your visitor Priya Raman has arrived, with a check-in link and a check-out link.
Step two

The right person hears about it in seconds

Whoever the visitor came to see gets a text or an email, their choice, with two short links: one to say I’ll take this, and one to close the visit when it is over. Neither needs a login.

The reception page showing six people in the building, with each visitor, who they came to see, and a check-out button.
Step three

Staff see everyone in the building

One page and one count, staff included, because the number a fire warden needs is everybody rather than everybody with a badge. Check anyone out with one button, or download the day.

Staff sign in

The staff page on a phone: the person's name, the words Not signed in, and one large Sign in button.
Step one

Staff sign in

A poster by the staff entrance carries a QR code. Somebody scans it with their own phone, picks their name once, and from then on one tap counts them as in the building.

The same page later: Signed in since 1:21pm, and one large Sign out button.
Step two

Staff sign out

On the way out, the same page shows how long they have been in and the one button that closes it. Anyone still signed in overnight is closed automatically, so the morning starts at zero.

Voice Assistant, when nobody can reach the phone

It answers with your greeting, knows your opening hours and the things you have told it, takes a message and works out what the caller actually wanted. Then it emails you the summary, so the call that came in while the desk was busy is still a thing you can act on.

Callers who are trying to reach you become contacts in the same list as the people who walk through your door. Spam is marked as spam rather than forwarded, and a call that needs chasing is flagged as one.

Recording is yours to switch on or leave off. When it is off, no recording link is made and none is sent.

One front desk, front to back

Most small offices run the front desk on four or five separate apps: one for the phone, one for sign-in, one for bookings, one for invoices. Digital Front Desk does those jobs in one place, and every one of them reads and writes the same record of each person.

  • Nothing is typed twice. The person who called on Monday is the person who checks in on Thursday and pays on Friday. Their name, number and history are already there.
  • No hand-offs to miss. A booking sends its own reminder, an accepted quote becomes the invoice, and a deposit lands on the bill it was for, without anyone copying it across.
  • One place for privacy. Who can see a client's details, and how long records are kept, is managed in one account with its data stored in Canada, instead of across four vendors' settings pages.
  • Fewer logins, fewer bills. One account for the team, one supplier to call, and fewer integrations to keep working.
  • Phone answeringAn AI receptionist answers your line day or night, takes messages and emails or texts a summary. A line can be set to English, French, Spanish or another language.
  • Visitor and staff check-inVisitors sign themselves in on a tablet you already own, the right person is told by email or text, and staff sign in and out from their phones.
  • Client listCallers, visitors and form senders land in one list, matched by phone or email, so nobody types the same person in twice.
  • Intake formsForms you write, sent as a link; answers are filed on the client's record.
  • Online booking and remindersClients request times online, and every confirmed appointment gets an automatic reminder the day before.
  • Quotes and invoicesA quote becomes an invoice with one button, and an appointment can be billed from the diary.
  • Deposits and paymentsDeposits, card payment and bank debit through the business's own Stripe account, Interac e-Transfer matched to the invoice, and a QR code that opens the bill on a phone.
  • Receipts and expensesReceipts read into an expense list you can export for your bookkeeper.

Works alongside the tools you already use

  • Google sign-inSign in with your Google account instead of a new password.
  • Any tablet or phoneThe check-in screen runs in the browser of an iPad or Android tablet, and the app installs on a phone or computer.
  • With AutopilotIts private machine can also connect to Gmail and other email, GitHub, GitLab and Telegram, only the ones you choose.
  • Your EHR or practice softwareIt does not connect to your EHR or practice-management software, and it does not need your clinical records: it runs the front desk and works alongside the system that keeps the chart.

What will it cost?

It depends on what you need and how busy your practice is. Tick what interests you and we will send you a price for your practice, usually the same day.

Autopilot Assistant, for the work behind the desk

The third assistant is not a front-of-house one. It works on a private machine for your business alone: give it a job, a file or a receipt, and it carries the work through to something you can use — for your business and the rest of your week.

Documents and files

PDFs for reports, invoices, quotes and letters. Word documents, Excel spreadsheets and PowerPoint slides.

Figures and follow-through

It works from your figures, makes charts and graphs, and keeps the thread so a task can continue. It can act later, on a schedule.

Receipts and books

Give it a receipt and it records it in your double-entry books. It organises the records; it does not replace your accountant.

For invoices, proposals and flyers that need considered layout it renders HTML and CSS to PDF, and it renders Persian, Arabic and other non-Latin text in the files it makes, so a document does not come back with the language missing. It connects only to the mail, calendar, Drive and repositories you choose, and with a connected repository it can propose a change for review but cannot push to your branches — unless, on GitLab, you turn on the separate setting that lets it publish straight to your live site.

What the people using it say

Five of the organisations running Moneli assistants today — a clinic across reception and the phone, a coordinator on calls alone, a family court clinic on visitor check-in, a network services company on scheduling, and a financial practice on intake in its clients' languages.

Joelene Bamford Executive Director, London Family Court Clinic
Our experience with Digital Front Desk has been exceptional, from the ease of implementing the system to the outstanding responsiveness and support we received throughout the process. We are especially pleased to partner with a Canadian company that genuinely took the time to understand our needs and provide a solution that works for our organization.
Dr. William July Licensed Clinical Psychologist
The days of paper logbooks and missed calls are over. This system has completely transformed our reception area. The AI voice assistant handles calls when our staff is busy, taking messages and scheduling appointments. Walk-in visitors check themselves in using the touchscreen kiosk, and our team gets instant notifications. Everything is logged digitally — calls, visitors, appointments — all searchable and secure. It’s like having a 24/7 digital receptionist that never takes a break.
Carmen Harris Independent Insurance Coordinator
Carla makes it easy to leave a message and truly feels like speaking with a person. The process is smooth and welcoming, which is important for our mental-health clients. I also appreciate that Carla handles many routine caller questions and provides accurate information right away. This gives our staff more time to focus on patient care instead of managing phone calls.
Gary Kenning Managed ISP & Network Services
The automation solution has allowed us to scale our operations without proportionally increasing our administrative overhead.
Maral Aineh Beigi Financial Advisory Practice
The multi-lingual Digital Front Desk has transformed how I connect with clients from diverse backgrounds. I can now serve clients in their preferred language while automating my entire intake process.
London Family Court Clinic Announcement on LinkedIn · September 16, 2026

We are pleased to introduce a new way to welcome clients and visitors to our office!

Our new digital visitor assistant makes checking-in quick and simple. When you arrive, the virtual assistant will ask two simple questions let your appointment provider know you’re here.

We’re excited to modernize our reception process while continuing to make sure clients and visitors feel welcomed and know what to expect when they arrive.

We’re grateful to offer this new service in partnership with Digital Front Desk by Moneli Automation, a Canadian company, who have been incredibly supportive and responsive throughout the process!

Questions people ask

Is Digital Front Desk an all-in-one front desk system?

Yes. It answers the phone, checks visitors and staff in, keeps the client list, takes intake forms and online bookings, sends reminders, and handles quotes, invoices, deposits, payments and expenses, all on one record of each person. You can start with one part, such as visitor check-in, and switch on the rest when you need it.

Why use one system instead of separate tools for check-in, phone answering and invoicing?

Because separate tools each keep their own copy of your clients. With one system nothing is re-typed, a call or a visit is already on the record when you book or bill, privacy settings live in one place, and there is one bill and one account instead of four.

What does Digital Front Desk connect to?

Stripe for card payments and bank debit, Interac e-Transfer matching, text and email alerts, CSV import and export (including expenses for QuickBooks or Xero), and Google sign-in. It runs on any iPad or Android tablet. Autopilot customers can also connect email, GitHub, GitLab and Telegram.

Does it integrate with my EHR or practice-management software?

No. It does not connect to your EHR or practice-management software, and it does not need your clinical records: it runs the front desk and works alongside the system that keeps the chart.

Where is my data stored?

Data is stored in Canada, on Microsoft Azure in the Canada Central region. AI features are processed in Microsoft's US data zone, and calls and text messages are carried by Twilio in the United States. The sub-processor list names every service and where it runs.

Set up around your business

You write the questions visitors see, enrol a tablet with a one-time setup code, set your opening hours and choose what is kept afterwards and for how long. Voice and Autopilot are set up with you too, including only the connections you choose to make.

The lobby screen is a web page, not an app to install. Reading the questions aloud, the on-screen presenter, photographs, ID capture and AI follow-up questions all exist and are all switched off until you ask for them.
