AI receptionist NZ FAQ
What is an AI phone answering service?
An AI phone answering service answers your business number with an AI receptionist instead of a call centre. It picks up every call 24/7 in a Kiwi voice, answers questions from your own information, books appointments and puts urgent calls through to your team. You see every call, transcript and booking in your dashboard.
How does an AI answering service compare to a traditional answering service in NZ?
A traditional answering service usually takes a message and passes it on. An AI answering service does the job on the call: it books the appointment, answers the question or transfers the caller to your team. Talk time is billed by the second, from 95c a minute down to 77c on larger plans.
How much does an AI receptionist cost in NZ?
$130 a month for the platform, plus talk time from prepaid call credit. Pay as you go starts with $500 of credit at 95c a minute. Load more and each minute costs less: Starter is $990 of credit at 84c, Growth $2,425 at 80c, and Scale+ $4,650 at 77c. Prices are in NZD and exclude GST. Credit never expires. No per seat fees and no contract.
Will it sound like a robot?
No. It answers in a natural Kiwi voice that you choose, and it says Māori place names properly. Try Zoe on this page before you decide: ask the price, leave a message, try to catch her out.
Why does a Kiwi voice matter?
Your callers hear a voice that sounds like your business, not an overseas call centre. You can choose from 20 New Zealand voices, male and female, and hear each one before you pick.
What happens to a call it cannot handle?
Nothing gets dropped. If the caller needs a person, it transfers to your team with the caller's name and reason announced. If nobody picks up, it takes a message and sends it to your email and SMS straight away. You set the rules for what counts as urgent.
Can it book appointments into my calendar?
Yes. It works with Google Calendar, Outlook and most booking systems. Appointments appear in your calendar with the caller's details.
What about after-hours calls?
It answers 24/7, including nights, weekends and public holidays. You choose which calls go through to your on-call person and which are booked for the next working day.
How does it know about my business?
You give us your FAQs, services, pricing and policies. Your receptionist answers from that information, and you can update it at any time.
Does it work with my existing phone system?
Yes. The standard setup is 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 set up a local NZ number instead. Either way you keep your existing number.
Is an AI receptionist compliant with the NZ Privacy Act?
We follow the Privacy Act 2020 and the Information Privacy Principles, and the agent tells callers it is an AI. Calls connect through our Sydney phone network, and transcripts, structured call data and audit logs live in our Sydney portal. The live audio stream is processed on secure offshore AI infrastructure under documented arrangements.
How fast can it go live?
A focused build that answers, transfers and takes messages on one inbound line goes live within 24 hours. Adding a CRM or calendar integration takes a few days.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes. Every plan comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If your AI receptionist is not right for your business in the first 30 days, we refund you.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. There is no contract. The subscription runs month to month and you can cancel from the portal. Your call data, transcripts and recordings stay available to export.
