About Cenote
Summary
Cenote builds HIPAA-compliant AI sales agents for telehealth and direct-to-consumer health clinics.

They engage leads immediately across call, SMS, and WhatsApp, with responses tailored to each patient's history and schedule.
Business model
Per-deployment or subscription access to AI agents, with a go-live period and opt-out terms.
Go-to-market
Sold to telehealth and D2C health brands internationally, with a demo-first motion and a seven-day onboarding to first deployment.

AI agents that convert and retain patients for digital clinics
Cenote builds AI sales reps for online health clinics and deploys them for abandoned-cart and win-back campaigns. Today, digital and telehealth clinics rely on generic text blasts or human follow-up for speed-to-lead and customer reactivation. Since the lead has often gone cold and the outreach isn’t personalized, conversion is frequently below 1%. Cenote’s AI agents reach out immediately, communicate on the patient’s preferred schedule, and operate across channels—dramatically increasing conversion rates and unlocking revenue that otherwise goes unrealized.
