About Arini

At Arini, we are building the AI-native operating system for dental groups. Arini is the AI receptionist for dentists that answers phone calls and schedules appointments. Most dental appointments are scheduled over the phone by overworked receptionists who put patients on hold and miss a third of incoming calls.

Arini is the AI-native operating system for dental groups. We've built agents that take over the patient engagement journey through calls and texts, and we are on a mission to build deeper dental agents that focus on revenue cycle management, top-of funnel, and more.

Over the last few months, we went from answering a few calls a day, to answering 100% of calls. Today, dentists all over the US and Canada are trusting us with their phones, calendars, and revenue.

We are making generative AI available to those who need it the most.

About the role

Arini is the AI transformation partner for the dental industry. Backed by Y Combinator and built by AI-native engineers from MIT and Harvard, we partner with leading dental organizations, practices, and teams to deploy advanced AI technologies and workflow automations.

From our flagship AI Receptionist that handles 15,000+ calls daily to our AI Operating System and Forward-Deployed Engineers, we’re on a mission to help our clients leverage the power of AI to redefine operational excellence.
