Face2me vs Face2Gene: Two Different Products
Similar names, completely different products
If you searched for one of these names and landed on the other, you're not alone — the names are one letter apart, and search engines sometimes mix them up. Let's clear it up in thirty seconds.
Face2me (this site, face2.me) is an AI receptionist kiosk: a physical touchscreen device with a lifelike talking avatar that sits in a business lobby. It greets visitors, checks them in, looks up appointments, collects intake forms and payments, and answers questions — 24/7, in 30+ languages. It's used by dental and medical practices, hotels, salons, gyms, and about 20 other industries.
Face2Gene (face2gene.com, by FDNA) is a clinical genetics tool: a suite of phenotyping applications that helps geneticists and clinicians analyze facial features from patient photos to support the evaluation of genetic syndromes. It's a diagnostic aid for medical professionals — not a receptionist, not a kiosk.

Looking for the AI receptionist?
You're in the right place.

It checks in a returning visitor in under 60 seconds and matches names with 99.2% accuracy.

FAQ
Is Face2me related to Face2Gene?
No. Face2me (face2.me) is an AI receptionist kiosk company. Face2Gene is a genetic phenotyping product by FDNA. The companies, products, and teams are entirely unrelated.
Why do the names look so similar?
Coincidence of naming conventions — "Face2X" names were popular across tech. Face2me refers to the face-to-face interaction between a visitor and the kiosk avatar.
Which one do I need for my clinic's front desk?
Face2me. If you want patients to check themselves in at a kiosk, verify insurance, and get reminders, that's exactly what Face2me does. Face2Gene won't help at the front desk — it's a diagnostic aid used by geneticists during evaluation.
