Instant AI interpreter

Staff start the call and stay on the line. Bolo dials the patient, tells them it’s an AI, and interprets both ways. Built for pre-op instruction calls.

What your staff get

Simulated call with a synthetic patient. ~1.0s is Bolo’s target time per interpreted turn.

Read the transcript: Bolo, start to finish
  1. Narrator: “Tomorrow’s patient speaks Spanish. The interpreter line? Still on hold.” Tomorrow’s pre-op calls on the Bolo desk: six visits, with patients who speak Somali, Spanish, English, Amharic, Haitian Creole and Nepali, five marked “Needs interpreter.” Then an outside interpreter line shows “On hold” with a timer counting up.
  2. Narrator: “With Bolo, there’s no wait. Staff pick the visit and script, enter the times, and place the call.” On the Bolo desk, staff choose Colonoscopy (the language is already Spanish from the visit), enter fasting cutoff 12:00 AM, arrival 7:00 AM and ride home, then press Start call.
  3. Narrator: “Bolo dials, with your script. First, the patient hears it’s an AI, in their language.” The call runs the Colonoscopy pre-op script, shown as steps: AI notice, Fasting cutoff, Arrival, Ride home. The AI notice shows in English for staff and plays in Spanish for the patient. Bolo, in Spanish: “Esta llamada usa un intérprete de inteligencia artificial.” (“This call uses an AI interpreter.”) The AI notice step is ticked, and Fasting cutoff is next.
  4. Narrator: “It detects the language on its own, then interprets both ways, in about a second.” The panel shows Spanish, confirmed. Staff: “Stop eating after midnight.” After about one second, Bolo: “Deje de comer después de la medianoche.” The timer lands on ~1.0s, labelled Bolo’s target per turn.
  5. Narrator: “Over two hundred languages and dialects, even the rare ones.” The same instruction appears in Vietnamese, Arabic, Mandarin, Haitian Creole, Korean, Urdu, Portuguese, Hindi, French and Russian. Then languages, most written the way their speakers write them, burst out of the number: Somali, Amharic, Haitian Creole, Nepali, Gujarati, Tamil, Spanish, Vietnamese, Punjabi, Farsi, Tagalog, Bengali, Ukrainian and Urdu. The four rare languages from the schedule are highlighted.
  6. Narrator: “The patient repeats the times back. Bolo checks each one before staff confirm.” Bolo asks the patient to repeat the fasting cutoff and arrival time. Patient, in Spanish: “Medianoche. Siete de la mañana.” (“Midnight. Seven in the morning.”) A read-back check sets what staff entered beside what the patient repeated; each item is marked Match, then “Every item matches,” and staff confirm with *1.
  7. Narrator: “Either side can press zero to reach your staff. Clinical alerts show up on their screen.” On the patient’s keypad, 0 is pressed. The staff screen shows “Patient pressed 0: Clinic staff alerted. Bolo stays on the line.” and “Clinical alert: Patient says they take a blood thinner.”
  8. Narrator: “No answer? Bolo leaves a callback message for you, with no private details.” A call to another patient goes unanswered. Callback message left: “Hello. This is a message from your care team. Please call us back at (212) 555-0100.” Under “Kept off voicemail,” the visit (Hernia repair), fasting cutoff 12:00 AM and arrival 8:30 AM blur out: “Shared only when the patient answers.”
  9. Narrator: “Every outcome lands on the staff desk. HIPAA compliant, with patient data locked.” The call history shows tomorrow’s five interpreter patients: Spanish confirmed, Nepali confirmed, Amharic message left, Haitian Creole needs ride, Somali confirmed. Then it locks.
  10. Narrator: “Book your fifteen-minute demo, and get your quote.” The Bolo logo sits above “Book a 15-minute demo” and “Get your quote”; the button is pressed, and the logo moves to the centre.

Watch a full pre-op call

You place it. Bolo dials.

Staff pick the visit and script, enter the fasting cutoff, arrival time, and ride home, then press Start call. Bolo dials the patient, tells them it’s an AI, detects their language, and joins both lines.

Both sides, live on the phone.

Staff speak English. The patient hears their language. You see both on screen as the call runs.

Times get read back.

Fasting cutoff and arrival are said in words and digits. The patient repeats them, Bolo checks each one, and staff confirm with *1 when every item matches.

Press 0 reaches your staff.

Either side can press 0 to reach clinic staff. Bolo stays on the line. It does not dial an outside interpreter.

Read the transcript: Same call, two ways
  1. Narrator: “Same pre-op call. Two ways to place it.” Two identical cards: a phone interpreter line and Bolo, both for a colonoscopy pre-op call in Spanish.
  2. Narrator: “A phone interpreter line puts you on hold, and bills every minute someone is on the line, including hold time.” The interpreter line goes from Calling… to On hold while its time on the line and its bill, at $3.95 a minute, climb. Bolo goes from Calling patient to Connected, Interpreting, Read-back matched and Confirmed.
  3. Narrator: “With Bolo, there’s no interpreter clock, and no wait for one to join.” Bolo’s interpreter wait stays at 0:00, and its interpreter bill reads “No interpreter clock”. The interpreter joins the other call after 6:30 on hold; that call ends at 15:00 with a bill of $59.25.
  4. Narrator: “Book your fifteen-minute demo, and get your quote.” “Book a 15-minute demo” is pressed, with “Get your quote” under it. Then the Bolo logo.
