Tradies in Cairns
Aircon down when the wet sets in? Your phone still gets answered.
Tradies Line is the AI receptionist with built-in job management for Cairns tradies. When the wet fills the phone, an aircon call lands mid-job, or a run out to Gordonvale drops your signal, it answers the calls you can't take. It books the job or captures the lead, and confirms it by text.

The calls you miss when the wet lands
The wet fills the phone faster than you can answer.
Storm and cyclone season runs roughly November to May, and ex-Cyclone Jasper alone drove 8,068 insurance claims across the north. When half the street wants the same roofer, the calls you miss are the jobs the next tradie books.
Aircon is life-support up here.
Summer humidity sits above 80% and a dead unit is an emergency, not a maintenance job. The call lands while you're on a roof in Redlynch or under a house in Westcourt, and it goes to your AI instead of ringing out.
More work than hands, and no quick backup.
Far North builders already ring Cairns and the Tablelands for trades and fly the odd specialist up from Brisbane. Demand isn't the problem, capacity is. The AI keeps jobs landing in your calendar while you stay on the tools.
What it does on a Cairns call
It answers on your existing 07 number.
Your customers keep ringing the number they already know. When you're on the tools, driving, or off for the night, the call forwards to your AI receptionist and gets answered in a natural local voice.
It books the job or takes the lead.
It books the job straight onto your calendar, or captures a structured lead with the suburb and the details you need to quote. One SMS confirms any booking, in your business name.
It handles the wet-season surge.
When the first big storm rolls through and the calls stack up faster than you can answer, every forwarded call gets picked up. It asks what the damage is, which suburb from the northern beaches to the southern corridor, and the access, and works to your services, prices and hours.
It texts you on urgent jobs.
No cooling in a Cairns January for someone who can't cope, a roof open to the weather after a storm. When a call is a genuine emergency it texts your own mobile with the details while the caller is still on the line, on every plan.
Areas we cover
Common questions
I cover the northern beaches and the southern corridor. Does it capture where the job actually is?
Yes. Every booking or lead includes the caller's details and the job location, so you can plan a beaches day and a Gordonvale day instead of driving the length of the city twice.
The wet season and cyclone callouts come in after hours. Can it handle those?
Yes. After-hours and no-answer calls forward to your AI, which answers, books the job if your calendar allows or captures a structured lead with the address and the problem, and texts one confirmation on any booking.
Do I need a new number?
No. You keep your existing 07 number or mobile and set up conditional call forwarding in your phone settings, in a few minutes. The dashboard has step-by-step instructions for the major AU carriers.
Will my customers know it's an AI?
It answers in natural, fluent English, takes the job details properly, and introduces itself as an AI so there are no surprises. No hold music, no offshore call centre.
What does it cost?
Solo is $99 a month, Teams is $299. Both start with a 7-day free trial.
