The calls the busiest market throws at you
The busiest market means the most calls.
More enquiries land than any one person can answer from a roof. The ones you miss go to the competitor who picked up.
The work has moved to the edges.
Rolleston, Lincoln, Rangiora and Kaiapoi are where the callers are now. A tradie who isn't reachable there is invisible.
Frost mornings burst pipes.
The 6am frost callout comes while you're still in bed, and the after-hours competition is asleep.
What it does on a Christchurch call
It answers on your existing 03 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 sorts new builds from callouts.
A Rolleston fencing quote and a Sydenham reroof arrive in your dashboard clearly separated. It asks the suburb and the job details across greater Christchurch, and works to your services, prices and hours.
It texts you on urgent jobs.
A burst pipe on a hard frost, a failed cylinder in the cold. 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.
Major suburbs we cover
Common questions
I work greater Christchurch including Rolleston and Rangiora. Can the AI handle that?
Yes. It answers with your service area and books jobs only where you work, from Hornby to Rolleston to Rangiora.
Winter mornings my phone melts with frost callouts. What does the AI do?
It answers every call, flags genuine emergencies as urgent, and books routine work into your calendar so the queue sorts itself.
Do I need a new number?
No. You keep your existing 03 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 NZ 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.
