The problem

A missed call books someone else.

You’re under a sink, up a ladder, mid-quote or driving. The phone rings and you can’t take it. By the time you ring back that evening, they’ve booked whoever answered.

Your phone rings hardest when you’re least able to answer: on a job, after hours and over a long weekend. Those urgent calls are the ones worth the most.

Nobody leaves a voicemail. They just call the next one.
Why the first ring is the whole game
How it works

From first ring to booked job.

One call, three steps. You stay on the job.

First ring

It answers

Day or night, in your business’s name. It says it’s an AI assistant and asks what’s happening.

Next minute

It asks and quotes

Your questions, in your order: job type, address, urgency. Then your prices, from the price list you gave us.

Before they hang up

It books and tells you

The job goes into a free time in your calendar and the customer gets a text. You get one too, with the details.

We write it, train it and test it with you before it answers a single customer. How we set it up for you →

What an AI receptionist does

Not an answering machine. It finishes the job.

Everything below is standard on Growth. No add-ons, no per-feature charges.

01

Every call answered

First ring, every hour, public holidays included. It can pick up only when you’re already on a call, or take every call. Your choice.

02

Your prices, never made up

Quotes from the price list you give us: call-out fees, hourly rates, after-hours loading. Anything custom, it books you in to quote.

03

Jobs in your calendar

Booked into free times with travel time between jobs, not a request you have to confirm later.

View →
04

The details on your phone

A text the second the call ends: who rang, what they need, what was quoted and when it’s booked. Every call is recorded and written up too.

05

A call-back when they want you

Anyone who asks for you gets a message taken and a call-back requested. It never argues the point.

06

Rubbish calls filtered

SEO cold callers and energy resellers are handled politely and never reach your phone.

Example

A Sunday night burst pipe, booked.

Example business. Here’s how an after-hours call goes, from the first ring to a booked job in about a minute and a half.

0:00
AI Receptionist

“Good evening, you’ve reached Bennett Plumbing. I’m the AI assistant here, and I can book you in or get Dave to call you back. What’s happening?”

0:09
Caller
“Yeah, we’ve got water coming through the laundry ceiling. It’s getting worse.”
0:16
AI Receptionist

“That’s one to get on tonight. Can you turn the mains off at the meter for me? And what’s the address? I need to check we cover it.”

0:38
Caller
“Done. It’s 14 Kendall Street, Ryde. How much is this going to be?”
0:44
AI Receptionist

“After-hours call-out is A$180 for the first hour, then charged in fifteens. Dave can be there by about half nine. Shall I book that in for you?”

1:11
Caller
“Yes, that’s me. Book it in.”
1:22
AI Receptionist

“Booked. Dave’s on his way, 9:30 tonight. You’ll get a text with his name and the rate. Keep the mains off and put a bucket under it if you can.”

1:34
Dave found out about the job when his phone buzzed. He was watching the football.

Example call for an example business, built from the shape of real ones. Your rates, questions, service area and tone are set up for you.

Why you can trust it

It says it's AI. Every single call.

Running now for Employment Star, Dealia and Advantek Australia, set up and looked after by our team in Parramatta.

We don’t take on GP and medical, dental and orthodontic, legal, accounting and tax, insurance broking or financial-services clients, including mortgage and finance brokers, for voice AI. The data-handling obligations in those sectors are ones we won’t claim to meet. Allied health and hearing clinics are welcome for bookings and enquiries only, with no clinical advice and no health histories. If that’s your industry, talk to us first and we’ll tell you honestly.
What it replaces

A receptionist costs more than the salary.

The full monthly cost of covering your phone with a person, next to covering it with LeadGenie Growth.

Indicative figures for an Australian full-time receptionist on a A$60,000 salary, at the 12% superannuation guarantee rate. Excludes payroll tax, workers’ compensation and leave loading, which push the left column higher. GST excluded on both sides. On Growth, calls (A$0.03 a minute) and texts are billed by use on top, and the one-time A$1,999 set-up fee isn’t included. The full comparison, including the things a person does better →

AI receptionist questions

What owners ask before they start.

It speaks in your business’s voice and tells callers it’s an AI assistant in its first sentence. You hear it and test it before it answers a single customer. What callers mind is voicemail, and this answers on the first ring.

It takes a message and requests a call-back for them straight away, the first time they ask. It doesn’t argue or try to keep them on the line. You choose who gets the call-back requests and when.

Yes, from the price list you give us: call-out fees, hourly rates, after-hours loading and fixed-price jobs. It never makes up a number. For anything custom, it books you in to quote it properly.

Yes. Most businesses keep their number and divert calls to the AI when they choose: after hours, when the line’s busy, after four rings, or all the time. You can also use the Australian mobile number we include. How to set up call forwarding

On LeadGenie it’s A$499 a month on Growth plus a one-time A$1,999 set-up fee, ex GST. Calls are A$0.03 a minute and texts A$0.11 each, billed by use, and most businesses spend about A$30 to A$70 a month on those. Prices are locked in for your first 12 months, with 30 days’ notice to cancel.

Every call is recorded and written up, so you can hear exactly what happened. We listen back to real calls in the first few weeks and fix the answers, at no extra cost. If a call is outside its brief, it takes the details and asks you to ring back. It never guesses.

The next one rings on Saturday.

Thirty minutes on a video call. We run a real enquiry for your kind of business, so you hear exactly what your callers would get.
