Your phone rings first
The call comes in and rings you, or your crew, as it always has. Just you, you then your offsider, or the whole crew at once.

Try saying
"Hi, my switchboard keeps tripping and I've lost power to half the house." "I need a couple of powerpoints put in, are you around this week?"

When a call rings out
02
The AI answers
If no one grabs it, the AI picks up in your business's name, has a real back-and-forth, and works out what the caller wants.
03
It gets you the job
It captures the name, the job, the suburb and callback number, spots the urgent ones, and pencils in an AM or PM arrival window from your calendar for you to confirm.
04
The lead lands with you
An instant alert the moment the call wraps, logged to your dashboard and CRM as a lead, ready to action.
Everything it does
A real receptionist, built from AI up.
I ran it on my own trades lines first, so it doesn't sound like a call centre. It answers, holds the conversation, gets you the job, and keeps you in the loop. All on the number you already have.
Answers every call, 24/7
- Picks up while you're on the tools, up a ladder, or asleep
- After-hours and weekends, where most missed-call money leaks
- A natural Australian voice, not a robot menu
- Honest by design: it says it's your AI assistant, no one feels tricked
Handles the conversation like a person
- Real back-and-forth, one question at a time, warm and unhurried
- Reads the callback number back digit by digit
- Checks in if the caller goes quiet, instead of hanging in silence
- Knows your business and never invents a price
Gets you the job
- Available, Busy or Auto handling: put it through, take a message, or transfer in work hours
- Captures the name, job, suburb and callback, every time
- Spots the urgent ones and gets them to you fast, not into a queue
- Pencils a provisional AM or PM arrival window into your calendar for you to confirm
- Text-back and voicemail fallback, so no lead is left hanging
Keeps you in the loop
- Instant lead alert the moment a call wraps: name, number, job, urgency
- Every lead logged to your system, ready to action
- Every call auto-graded for quality, so it's watched, not hoped for
Reliable and trusted
- Never a dead line: if anything goes wrong mid-call, it falls back to text-back and voicemail
- Runs on your existing number, live inside a week, no porting
- 30-day results guarantee: no job caught, you don't pay that month
Setup done for you
I set it up: live on your existing number in about a week, tuned to your business, with a test call before anything is billed. It checks your real calendar during the call and pencils in a provisional AM or PM arrival window for you to confirm, so the job is half-booked before you're off the tools. You confirm every one; it never locks a fixed time.

What your missed calls cost

Straight answers
The questions you're asking
Will it work with my current number?
Yes. It runs on the number you already have. No porting, no new SIM, no new handset. Your phone keeps ringing exactly as it does now, and the AI only picks up when a call goes unanswered.
Do I need to change phone providers?
No. You stay with whoever you are with now. Nothing about your calls, plan, or carrier changes.
Will callers know it's an AI?
Yes, and that's by design. It introduces itself as your AI assistant, in a natural Australian voice, so no one feels tricked. It never invents a price. If a caller wants a quote, it says you'll sort a proper price and call back.
Who does it ring?
Whoever you choose. Just you, you then your offsider, or the whole crew at once. If no one grabs it, that is when the AI answers, with text-back and voicemail behind it. You set it in your dashboard and can change it any time.
What happens after hours?
The AI answers around the clock. Public holidays and one-off closed days are handled too, so nothing rings out into silence, and every caller still gets the text-back and can leave a voicemail.
What happens if the AI gets stuck?
It never leaves a dead line. If anything goes wrong mid-call it falls back to the missed-call text-back and voicemail, so the lead is always caught one way or another.
What happens to voicemail?
If someone leaves a message it is transcribed and summarised to your phone: what they want, how urgent it is, and the next step. You read and triage without dialling into a mailbox, and hang-ups are filtered out so you are not spammed.
What about my telco voicemail?
Part of the quick setup is switching your telco voicemail off, so the system catches the missed call instead of your carrier dropping it into a mailbox nobody checks. We show you the one setting to change.
Can I text them back?
Yes. You reply to the customer from the same thread, no swapping apps. New leads also land straight in the system you already run so nothing falls through.
Can I see and manage it myself?
Yes. You get a simple dashboard with every call, voicemail and text in one place, a clear map of exactly what happens when a call comes in, and your own setup: choose your greeting voice and hear it first, set your hours and closures, and run a test call. Bigger changes to who rings and in what order go through me for now, so nothing breaks the safety net.
Does it connect to my CRM?
Yes. Every caller is pushed in as a lead, no doubles, with the status you choose. Close works today, ServiceM8 and Tradify are coming. No re-keying, nothing slips between the phone and your pipeline.
What if I already use ServiceM8?
Honest answer: ServiceM8 bundles its own phone agent in Connect Plus, and if you're happy in ServiceM8 you should try that first. Where mine earns its keep is if you want it set up for you on your existing number, a 30-day no-job-caught-no-pay guarantee, and one bloke in Victoria who answers when something needs changing.
Where does the booking link go?
Wherever you want the job to land, your existing booking page, calendar, or a simple form we set up. The link is yours and points at your business.
Does it book the job into my calendar?
Yes, within reason. It checks your real calendar during the call and pencils in a provisional morning or afternoon arrival window, then texts you the details. You confirm every job, and it never locks a fixed to-the-minute time. It's included in your plan at no extra cost.
How quickly can it be switched on?
I set it up for you: live on your existing number in about a week, tuned to your business, with a test call before anything is billed. Or book a 15-minute call and we'll do it together.
Is there a contract, and can I cancel?
No lock-in. Month to month, cancel any time. $165 a month inc GST, one price, no setup fee. And if it doesn't catch you a job in the first 30 days, you don't pay that month.
What does fair use mean? Will a busy week cost me extra?
No. It's a flat monthly price, not per call or per minute, with fair use up to 100 AI-answered calls a month. Spam, robocalls and hang-ups aren't counted against you, and 100 answered calls is roughly 23 missed calls a week, well past what a small crew's line normally does. If a storm week blows past it, I'll ring you and we'll sort it before anything changes on your bill. Nothing moves without a conversation.

Why me
My own support number rings my phone. When I can't pick up, the AI I built answers it.
I built it to solve my own missed calls across Oscar White and Ranges Cleaning, then made it something I can set up for yours. It's kill-tested and engineered so a caller is never left on a dead line. A trades operator building for trades operators. Not a call centre, and not a ticket queue.
