Therapists in the Netherlands. An AI that answers your calls while you’re in session
In a session you can’t interrupt, Vicem answers calmly and takes a message.
In the Netherlands, you give out a Vicem number or forward the calls you miss from your own. Callers there usually speak Dutch, and Vicem answers each one in their own language.

How it works in the Netherlands
Give out your Vicem number
Put your Vicem number on your website, card and profiles, and pick up in the app when you want to talk.
Keep your number
Forward the calls you miss to your Vicem number. It’s a US number, so your phone company may charge for each forwarded call.
Callers in the Netherlands usually speak Dutch. Vicem answers each caller in their own language, in any of 37 languages, and says it’s an AI in that language too.
After hours and urgent calls
Vicem answers at any hour and tells you right away when a caller says it’s urgent. It is not a crisis line, and it shares the crisis number you give it.
For a real emergency, you can have Vicem tell callers to hang up and dial 112.
Appointments and requests
Vicem takes requests for a first session: a first name, a number and the times that suit them. You decide and get back to them.

Thanks, Chris. I’ve noted a call back after six. You’ll hear back soon.
