Will people know they're talking to an AI?

Most don't. The voice sounds natural, responds in real time, and handles conversations the way a trained team member would. We've had prospects chat for minutes without realising. But we always disclose when asked. That's a legal and ethical requirement we take seriously.

How long does it take to get up and running?

An AI receptionist is built and answering calls within 24 hours. We set it up on your business, your services and your hours, you try it, and we refine it. Bigger builds with CRM connections or outbound campaigns take a little longer, and we agree the timeline with you first.

Does it work with my CRM?

Yes. We connect to HubSpot, Salesforce, Xero, Google Sheets, Pipedrive, and most common business tools. Leads, call outcomes, and summaries sync automatically. No copy-pasting.

What happens when someone wants to speak to a real person?

The agent transfers them. If a prospect asks for a human or the conversation needs escalation, the call gets passed to your team in real time. Warm handoff, full context included.

How much does it cost?

An AI receptionist starts with $500 of call credit plus $130 a month for the platform (NZD, ex GST). Talk time comes off your credit at 95c a minute, and the rate drops to as low as 77c when you load more credit. In Australia it is A$500 plus A$130 a month, from 95c down to 71c. Credit never expires and tops itself up when it runs low. Outbound sales agent plans start at $990 a month for 1,165 minutes of calls (A$910 in Australia), plus the same platform fee.

Can it handle inbound and outbound?

Both. Inbound agents answer your phone 24/7: after hours, weekends and overflow. Outbound agents call through your contact lists to qualify leads, book appointments, or follow up. Same platform, same dashboard.

What if someone tells the agent to stop calling?

They're removed automatically. The system handles opt-outs, do-not-call requests, and unsubscribes in real time. Full audit trail. You stay compliant without lifting a finger.

Can I listen to the calls?

Every call is recorded and transcribed. You can listen to any conversation, read the transcript, and see the AI's sentiment score. Your team gets a prioritised follow-up list every morning with the hottest leads at the top.

What your Waboom AI agent actually does

It's not just answering the phone.

Your agent runs the whole conversation, books the job, sends the confirmation, updates your CRM, and follows up next week. No hand-offs.

Answers every inbound call, 24/7

Nothing goes to voicemail. Your agent picks up in under a second, any time of day, and holds a natural conversation with the caller.

Runs outbound follow-ups

Dormant leads, missed calls, appointment reminders, overdue accounts, the agent dials them back and keeps the conversation going.

Books meetings straight into your calendar

Google Calendar, Outlook, Calendly, Pipedrive Scheduler, the agent picks a slot, confirms it, and the booking lands where your team already works.

Sends emails and SMS automatically

Confirmation emails, quote PDFs, text follow-ups, directions to the clinic. The agent sends them as soon as the call ends, no admin afterwards.

Syncs to your CRM

HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, Xero, Google Sheets, every call, lead and outcome writes back automatically. No copy-paste, no lost data.
