How Nuteq helps

What does a Korean-speaking AI receptionist handle?

A Korean-speaking AI receptionist answers your calls in Korean, books appointments, and answers routine questions when no one at the front desk can pick up. With Nuteq you set Korean as your agent’s main language, choose one of the Korean voices, and add English as a second language. The agent speaks natural, conversational Korean rather than stiff formal speech, and switches to English when an English-speaking caller comes on, so one number covers both groups of customers. A greeting written in Korean and English tells every caller they can use either. Each call is saved with a recording, a Korean transcript, and a written summary. One limit applies. Nuteq does not switch into Korean in the middle of a call when English is the agent’s main language. If most of your callers speak English, run a separate Korean-first agent on its own number for your Korean-speaking customers.

Questions about Korean-speaking callers

Is Nuteq a Korean answering service?

Nuteq is an AI receptionist that can replace a Korean-speaking answering service: it answers in Korean and English at any hour, books appointments, and saves a transcript and summary of every call.

Does Nuteq sound stiff or formal in Korean?

Nuteq’s agent is set up to speak natural, conversational Korean instead of stiff formal speech. You can describe the tone you want in its instructions, for example more formal for a law office.

Can an English-first agent switch to Korean during a call?

Nuteq does not switch into Korean partway through a call when English is the agent’s main language. Set Korean as the main language, or run a second Korean-first agent on its own number where your plan allows more than one agent.

Does it work with KakaoTalk?

Nuteq does not connect to KakaoTalk. Customers can reach the same agent on WhatsApp or on your website, where it replies in Korean to anyone who writes in Korean.

Can it tell callers which insurance we take?

Nuteq answers from the information you give it, so if you list the insurance plans you accept, it can tell callers in Korean. It does not check a caller’s coverage or benefits.

Is Korean included in my plan?

Nuteq includes Korean on every plan, the free plan as well, with no extra charge for the language. The pricing page has the details.

Is it HIPAA compliant for a medical or dental office?

Nuteq offers HIPAA coverage on the Enterprise plan, through sales. On other plans it can still book visits and answer general questions, and it never gives medical advice.
