You Cannot Answer the Phone From Up a Ladder. An AI Receptionist for Tradies Answers It for You.

Here is the maths nobody on a work site wants to hear. Three in four callers book with whoever answers first. Miss the call, and you did not lose a message. You lost the job.

An AI receptionist for tradies fixes the one thing you cannot do with your hands full. It answers.

Call +61 485 027 479 right now and listen. That is an AI receptionist picking up in an Australian accent. Ask it something. It is the fastest way to understand what this does for a trade business.

What does an AI receptionist for tradies actually do?

It answers your phone when you cannot. Every call, first ring, day or night.

It talks like a person, in a real Aussie accent. It asks what the job is, where it is, and how urgent. Then it books the job or takes the details and texts them to you.

You do not learn a system. You do not touch a screen on the scaffold. The call gets handled, and you get a summary on your phone when you climb down.

The call gets answered while you stay on the tools. The job lands on your phone as a text.

How much does an AI receptionist cost for a tradie business?

Less than one lost job a month, in most cases. Waboom AI starts at $500 AUD pay as you go for 500 minutes. No setup fee. No lock in.

Calls are billed per minute, at roughly $0.73 AUD. The average call runs about thirty seconds. So a real conversation costs you around forty cents.

Do the sum the other way. One quoted job you would have missed covers months of the fee. That is the whole case.

Busy outfits move to a monthly plan from $910 AUD for 1,000 minutes. You can see the full voice agent pricing with no sales call.

Can it put an urgent call straight through to me?

Yes. You decide which calls transfer and which get a message. An emergency burst pipe or a dead switchboard can ring your mobile in seconds.

The agent does a warm handover. It tells you who is calling and what the job is before it connects you. If you cannot pick up, it takes the details and texts them.

Everything else gets handled without bothering you. A price question, a booking, a supplier chasing an invoice. You only get pulled off the job for the calls that are worth it.

What about the calls that come in after hours?

After hours is where a trade business bleeds. Most people ring a tradie after they knock off, on the drive home, or over the weekend.

Your competitors send those calls to voicemail. Nobody leaves a voicemail anymore. They just ring the next name.

An AI receptionist works nights, weekends and public holidays at the same rate. The 7pm burst pipe becomes tomorrow morning's booked job instead of someone else's.

Does it stay on the right side of the Do Not Call rules?

For answering your phone, there is nothing to worry about. Inbound calls carry no Do Not Call exposure at all.

If you run outbound too, chasing quotes or old customers, that is where the rules bite. Waboom AI washes any outbound list against the ACMA Do Not Call Register before a single dial goes out. It also honours the legal calling windows.

The ACMA telemarketing rules are not optional, and the fines are steep. The agent is built to follow them so you do not have to think about it.

Is this built for my trade specifically?

Yes, whichever tools you carry. The agent learns your services, your pricing and your area.

We have dedicated setups for electricians, plumbers, HVAC and construction and building crews. Same engine, tuned to the way each trade takes a job.

It books straight into your calendar, and it can drop the job into your CRM or job management tool. The details land where you already work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does an AI receptionist for tradies sound like a robot?

No. It uses a natural Australian voice and holds a real back and forth conversation. Most callers cannot tell. The quickest way to judge it is to ring +61 485 027 479 and have a go yourself.

Will it work while I am up a ladder or driving?

That is the whole point. The agent answers every call on your behalf, so you never have to stop work or pull over. You get a text with the job details, and you deal with it when you are safe to.

How fast can I get set up?

Same day for a focused build. That means one inbound flow, your services and pricing, and your transfer rules, with no heavy integration. A build with a CRM or job management link takes a few days.

What does it cost to try?

Pay as you go starts at $500 AUD for 500 minutes with no lock in. Point your overflow calls at it for a fortnight, read the summaries it texts you, and count the jobs it caught.

Can it handle both taking calls and chasing quotes?

Yes. The same agent answers inbound and can run outbound follow ups on quotes you have sent. Outbound calling washes against the Do Not Call Register first, so you stay compliant.
