AI receptionist

The calls you miss are the jobs you lose.

Put an AI receptionist on your line. It answers every call in your shop's name, takes the name, number and what they need, and emails it to you. Day or night, even when your hands are full.

The problem

You can't answer with your hands full.

Most missed calls don't leave a voicemail. They just ring the next shop on the list.

Under a car

Your hands are oily and the job is half done. The phone rings out, and you find out later.

On someone's job

You're across town with a customer in front of you. You can't stop to take a new enquiry.

After hours

It's the evening or the weekend. The caller wants an answer now, not on Monday.

What it does

What it actually does.

A receptionist for your phone line, with a clear job and clear limits.

Answers in your name

It picks up as your shop, greets the caller, and keeps a calm, plain conversation going.

Knows your basics

Hours, address, what you do and don't take on. It answers from what you give it, and nothing more.

Takes the details

Name, number, the job, and when they'd like it done. It reads the important parts back to make sure it has them right.

Emails you the lot

Every call lands in your inbox as a tidy summary, with the recording and full transcript. You ring back who matters.

And what it won't do: it doesn't quote prices, lock in a time, or take payment. Anything like that, it tells the caller you'll be in touch, and leaves the decision with you.

Try it

Try it. It's the whole pitch.

Ask the same things your customers ask. This is the web version of the same assistant that answers your phone.

Example call Phone demo coming
  1. ZoeHi, you've reached QWQ Builders. I'm the AI assistant for the team, and this call is recorded for our records. How can I help?
  2. CallerHi, I'm after a quote for a new deck out the back.
  3. ZoeHappy to get that moving. The team works out the price, so I'll take your details for them. Can I get your name and number, and roughly how big the deck is?
  4. CallerSarah, 027 318 55 double-two. About four by five metres.
  5. ZoeThanks, Sarah. I'll pass your deck details to the team and they'll come back with a quote. Anything else?

A real call demo, where the AI rings your phone so you can hear it, is the next thing we're building.

Your side of it

From where you stand, it's one email.

No new app to learn. You carry on with the job, and the right calls reach you when you have a minute.

A call comes in

The phone rings while you're flat out. You don't have to drop what you're doing.

You keep working

Hands full, mid-job, or out on a call. You leave the phone to the AI and stay on the tools.

A summary lands

A few minutes later a tidy email is on your phone: who rang, their number, and what they need.

You ring back

When the job's done, you pick the ones worth a call and ring them. The rest can wait.

Who it's for

Built for trades that work with their hands.

If most of your calls are people wanting a time and a price, this fits.

Mechanics

Catch the "can you look at my car" call while you're under the next one.

Builders

Take the enquiry on site, so the quote request waits in your inbox, not someone else's.

Cleaners

Pick up new jobs while you're mid-clean and can't reach the phone.

Tutors

Answer parents in the evening, when they have a minute to ring around.

Why an AI

Cheaper than the job you'd have missed.

The other ways of covering your phone each have a catch.

A wage, nine to five

A receptionist on staff

Works well, but costs a full wage and goes home at five. Your evenings and weekends are still on you.

Mostly ignored

Voicemail

Most callers won't leave a message. They hang up and try the next name on the list instead.

Always on
What we'd put on your line

An AI receptionist

Answers day and night, for less than an hour's wage a month. Miss one fewer job and it has paid for itself.

Your record of every call

Every call, kept for you.

The AI is upfront that it's an AI, and every call is recorded. That leaves you a record you can check and keep.

Play back any call

Every call is recorded, so if you're ever unsure what was said, you can listen to it back and check for yourself.

Records you can keep

Pull out the summary, transcript and recording whenever you need them, to file away or forward on. They're yours.

Handled under NZ law

Caller details are handled under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, used to pass on the message, and nothing else.

Pricing

Your AI receptionist, on a simple monthly plan.

One missed job can be worth hundreds. A receptionist on staff is a full wage. Your AI answers every call for a flat monthly fee that sits well below either.

We're taking on a small number of pilot shops first, so we can get it right before we open it up. If you'd like to be one of them, we'll set a fair pilot rate and talk it through with you.

  • One flat monthly fee for your AI receptionist.
  • A fair monthly call allowance, so there are no nasty surprises.
  • A simple website to match, included with your plan at no extra cost.
  • Cancel when you like. It's a month at a time, not a lock-in.
