Why We Built This
We watched good tradies
lose jobs to voicemail.
We kept seeing the same thing. Skilled tradies - great at their work - losing thousands in revenue because they couldn't answer the phone while on a job.
The customer calls. No one picks up. They call the next plumber on Google. By the time you call back, they've already booked someone else.
Hiring a receptionist costs $4,500/month and only covers business hours. Answering services take messages but don't book jobs. Neither solved the actual problem.
So we built an AI receptionist that sounds Australian, knows your business, checks your real calendar, and books confirmed appointments - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
