The problem

Every Missed Call
Is Lost Revenue

NZ businesses are quietly losing thousands every week, without ever knowing it.

📵
You can't answer while working
On the tools, in a meeting, driving, calls ring out and go straight to your competitor.
🏃
85% won't call back
Most callers who don't reach you first time never try again. They move on immediately.
🌙
After-hours is your dead zone
Evenings and weekends are prime enquiry time. Without 24/7 cover, those leads disappear.
📉
You'll never know what you lost
No record. No callback. Silent revenue going to whoever picked up instead.

FAQ

Common Questions

Will my customers know it's AI? +
Our AI sounds completely human, warm, natural, and conversational. The vast majority of callers cannot tell the difference. Hear it yourself using the demo widget at the top of this page.
What if the AI can't answer a question? +
Complex calls are transferred to you or a team member with no awkward handoff. The AI handles the intro, captures key details, and passes you a warm call. You're only involved when truly needed.
How fast can I get started? +
Most clients are live within 48 hours. After sign-up, we gather your details, build your AI, run 30+ test calls, and go live, from payment to first answered call in under 2 days.
What happens to missed calls? +
Every call is logged, every lead captured, and you receive an instant SMS and email with the caller's name, number, and full details. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Do I need to change my phone number? +
Not at all. You simply forward your existing number to your AI number. Your customers dial the same number as always. Setup takes under 5 minutes.
Is there a lock-in contract? +
Month-to-month plans can cancel anytime. Our 6 and 12-month options give better rates for businesses wanting to lock in savings. Most clients see ROI within their first week.
