AI we have built

Local job board, Pohutukawa Coast and east Auckland.

Our own job board. Its CV and cover letter tool is AI we built and run: it drafts from the person's own CV, a second pass checks the draft, and a person approves every line.

What it is

The phone gets answered, even when you are on the tools.

A missed call can be a job that goes to whoever picks up next. An AI receptionist is there for the calls you cannot get to.

  • It answers when you can't

    On a roof, with a customer, driving, or after hours. The caller gets an answer instead of a voicemail.

  • It says only what you approve

    Your hours, the areas you cover, what you do and what you do not. Every answer is one you have signed off.

  • It takes the details

    The caller's name, their number and what they need, so you ring back knowing what the job is.

  • It sends you the message

    By text or email, straight after the call. You see every call it takes.

  • It does not guess

    When it does not know, it takes a message for you. It is set up to hand over, not to make things up.

  • You stay in charge

    The accounts are in your name, and you can switch it off in a minute without asking us.

How it would work

Set up around your business, not a script.

  1. We listen first

    We ask how your phone gets answered now, what callers ask most, and what should never be left to a machine.

  2. You approve every answer

    We write its answers from your own details, and nothing goes live until you have read each one.

  3. We test it on real calls

    You ring it yourself, and so do we, before a customer ever does.

  4. It runs alongside you

    It starts on the calls you miss. You keep answering the phone yourself whenever you can.

What it costs

Enquire for a quote.

An AI receptionist is quoted in writing before anything is set up, because the price depends on what it has to do for your business.

The phone service and the AI both charge by use, on accounts in your name. So there is a running cost each month on top of the set-up, and the expected figure goes in writing before you commit.

Straight answers

What owners ask about an AI receptionist.

Anything not here, ask. 021 217 1760

A phone line that answers when you cannot. It greets the caller with your business name, answers the everyday questions from answers you have approved, takes their name, their number and what they need, and sends you the message.
Yes. We set it up to say so at the start of the call. Nobody should have to guess.
It does not guess. It takes a message and tells the caller you will ring back. If you would rather, it can be set up to put the call through to you instead.

Harbour Thoughts, our own journal app, runs its model on the phone itself once the model has been downloaded, and you can open it right now and try it. For your business we start small: a free consult, then a written plan if you want one. What you pay for the plan comes off the build if you go ahead.
Yes, in a minute, without asking us. The accounts are in your name, and you see every call it takes.
