1. Short description (the pitch)
EchoLine is developing an AI-powered voice assistant platform to help service‑oriented businesses solve missed leads, overburdened staff and costly round‑the‑clock reception with a seamlessly integrated, self‑learning conversational AI that handles calls, books appointments and follows up via your existing systems .
2. The What: What are you solving + more in‑depth details
The problem
Lost revenue & leads: Calls during peak hours or outside business hours go unanswered, costing service businesses up to 20 % of potential bookings.
Staff overload: Receptionists and practitioners juggle phone duties alongside core work, reducing productivity and increasing stress.
High operational costs: Hiring and training 24/7 human reception teams is expensive, especially for small to medium enterprises.
Fragmented tools: Many businesses use multiple calendar and booking systems, creating friction and errors in scheduling.
Who it affects & scope
Primary pilot verticals: Dental clinics (~8 000 in Sweden) and real estate agencies (100+ major players negotiating solutions).
Broader targets: Salons (hair & nail), gyms, skin & health clinics, auto dealers—any service business relying on lead generation and appointment booking.
Market size: Over 120 000 service‑oriented SMEs in Sweden alone; global conversational AI in customer service market projected to exceed USD 10 billion by 2026.
