What Your AI Receptionist Handles

Everything your front desk does on the phone, without a human chained to the handset.

Answers every call

Picks up your calls in under a second, 24/7, in a natural NZ or AU voice. No hold music, no engaged tone, no voicemail graveyard.

Transfers calls warm

Announces the caller and the reason, then connects them to the right person. Extensions inside your VoIP or external mobiles, your rules.

Takes proper messages

Name, number, and what they actually wanted, transcribed and sent to you by email or SMS the moment the call ends.

Works with your VoIP

Conditional forwarding from any VoIP or mobile means it only catches what you miss. Or take a dedicated number and route everything through it.

Books and does the admin

Books appointments into your calendar, sends SMS confirmations, and logs every call with a transcript. The admin happens while the phone is still warm.

Pay for talk time only

95 cents a minute while it is on a call, from a prepaid balance that tops itself up. A quiet week costs you almost nothing.

AI Receptionist FAQ

What does the AI receptionist cost?

$130 a month for the platform, plus 95 cents a minute of talk time from a prepaid credit balance, plus GST where applicable. You start with $500 of credit, so your first payment is $630 and then $130 a month. A two minute call costs about $1.90. No per-seat fees, no contract.

How does the automatic top-up work?

Your calls draw down the $500 credit balance at 95 cents a minute. When the balance drops under $50, the platform tops it back up to $500 from your saved card, automatically. Your line never goes dead mid-month, and every top-up shows in your portal billing history.

Does it work with my existing VoIP or phone system?

Yes. The standard setup is conditional call forwarding from your existing VoIP or mobile, so the receptionist only takes the calls you do not answer. If you would rather keep it separate, we provision a dedicated NZ or AU number instead. Either way you keep your existing number.

Can it transfer calls to my team?

Yes, that is its main job. The receptionist transfers warm, announcing the caller and the reason before connecting, to extensions inside your VoIP or to external mobiles. You set the rules: who gets sales calls, who gets support, what happens when nobody picks up.

What happens when it takes a message?

The message is transcribed and sent to you instantly by email or SMS, with the caller's name and number captured. The full transcript and call audio also sit in your portal, so nothing lives on a sticky note ever again.

Can it dial extensions or use keypad menus?

Yes. If your phone system answers transfers with its own menu, the receptionist dials the extension digits (DTMF) to reach the right person. Callers can also key in things like reference numbers when that is easier than reading them out. You will not need it often; mostly, everyone just talks.

How fast can it go live?

A focused build, answering, transferring, and taking messages on one inbound line, goes live the same day. Adding a CRM or calendar integration lands in days. You forward your number with a short code from your handset, and that is the whole cutover.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no contract; the subscription is month to month and you can cancel from the portal. Your call data, transcripts, and recordings stay available to export.

Every Unanswered Ring Is Someone Else's Customer

Start today, live the same day. $630 now, then $130 a month. The top-up handles itself, and you can cancel anytime.

Pay As You Go: Start with $500

Prefer to talk it through first? Book a 15 minute call or ask Sam.
