How Linda AI is Scaling Agentic AI Workflows for Dental Practices

Linda AI, an AI receptionist for dental clinics, led by India Healy O’Connor, Portia Healy O'Connor, and Lucio Tudisco, has raised a €2.6M ($3M) pre-seed round led by 6 Degrees Capital.

Linda AI was founded by sisters India and Portia Healy O’Connor, repeat founders and former Goldman Sachs professionals with early exposure to healthcare operations, alongside Lucio Tudisco, a former Amazon, Patreon, and Circle engineer with deep enterprise systems experience.

Voice AI adoption is growing ~35% annually, with vertical, domain-specific solutions delivering up to 10× more value than horizontal alternatives. Healthcare leads this shift, with dentistry emerging as a standout use case due to high call volumes and complex scheduling needs.

Dental practices miss over 25% of inbound calls, costing a typical four-surgery clinic more than €10K per month. Linda AI’s 24/7 voice agents handle bookings, confirmations, and rescheduling directly within existing systems.

As a result, one in four new patient bookings comes through Linda AI, overall bookings rise 15%, no-show rates fall by 30%+, and front-desk teams save 10+ hours per week, improving revenue and efficiency.

“Linda AI integrates seamlessly with cloud-based practice management software and phone systems, enabling out-of-hours and weekend call handling while improving appointment confirmations, particularly for patients who do not respond to text messages,” said Dr. Annette Staunton, owner of Cube Dental, a three-site dental group in Ireland.

“Many missed bookings stem from capacity constraints,” said India Healy O’Connor, Co-Founder and CEO of Linda AI. “By handling inbound calls when front desks are stretched, Linda AI helps clinics capture opportunities while teams remain focused on patient care.”

Linda AI’s deep understanding of dental operations, paired with seamless practice management integrations, delivers immediate operational alignment and measurable financial impact, driving rapid adoption across the sector.

The platform is live across 50+ sites in Ireland and the UK, working with leading dental support organisations and supporting both single-location and multi-site practices. The new funding will support engineering expansion, growth of the senior sales function, and wider deployment across additional dental practices in both markets.

“Voice AI agents are rapidly transforming industries by improving operational efficiency and customer experience,” said Christina Franzeskides, Principal at 6 Degrees Capital. “Dentistry is particularly compelling due to full demand constrained by front-desk capacity. Linda AI addresses this bottleneck through seamless voice AI integration that complements existing teams, delivering clear ROI and meaningful revenue uplift.”

The founding team also stood out for complementary skill sets, execution strength, and strong team dynamics, with early partnerships demonstrating rapid traction. Linda AI is viewed as well-positioned to emerge as a category leader in a fast-evolving market.
