The calls a small town remembers
Mid-install, the next caller rings.
Every autumn the heating jobs stack up. While you commission a heat pump, the next enquiry rings out.
A quarter-million-person town runs on reputation.
There is no endless stream of new customers here. A missed first-time caller is a lost job, and a story told at Salamanca on Saturday.
Heritage jobs live on the details.
Sash windows, sandstone, weatherboard, Heritage Register conditions. A missed call means a callback you never get.
What it does on a Hobart call
It answers on your existing 03 number.
Your customers keep ringing the number they already know. When you're on the tools, driving, or off for the night, the call forwards to your AI receptionist and gets answered in a natural local voice.
It books the job or takes the lead.
It books the job straight onto your calendar, or captures a structured lead with the suburb and the details you need to quote. One SMS confirms any booking, in your business name.
It captures heritage jobs properly.
For an old Battery Point cottage or a weatherboard in Kingston, it takes the property and job details as a structured lead, so you ring back ready to quote. It works to your services, your prices and your hours.
It texts you on urgent jobs.
No heat in a Hobart winter for an older household, a burst pipe on a frosty morning. When a call is a genuine emergency it texts your own mobile with the details while the caller is still on the line, on every plan.

Common questions
Can it book jobs while I'm mid-install with my hands full?
Yes. That's the core use. Busy and no-answer calls forward to the AI, which books into your calendar and sends the customer one SMS confirmation.
Is an AI receptionist overkill for a sole tradie?
No. It's built for one-person businesses: no receptionist wage, no missed first-time callers.
Do I need a new number?
No. You keep your existing 03 number or mobile and set up conditional call forwarding in your phone settings, in a few minutes. The dashboard has step-by-step instructions for the major AU carriers.
Will my customers know it's an AI?
It answers in natural, fluent English, takes the job details properly, and introduces itself as an AI so there are no surprises. No hold music, no offshore call centre.
What does it cost?
Solo is $99 a month, Teams is $299. Both start with a 7-day free trial.
