How it works

From the first reply to a booked job.

We write it, train it on your prices and test it with you first. It goes live in 3 to 14 business days, by plan. After that, every enquiry runs like this.

First reply

It answers

Calls on the first ring on Growth. Web chat, Facebook, Instagram and email in up to 3 seconds. It says it’s an AI assistant.

Next minute

It books

It asks your questions, quotes from your price list and books the job into a free time in your calendar.

Afterwards

It follows up

You get the details straight away. Customers who go quiet get a friendly follow-up, and it stops when they reply.

Nothing goes live until you’ve tried it yourself and signed it off. How we set it up for you →

Set up for you

You won’t get a blank dashboard.

Our team in Parramatta writes it, trains it on your prices and tests it with you before any customer hears it. You don’t configure anything.

What it connects to

Nothing you already run has to change.

You keep your phone number, your website and your calendar. We connect LeadGenie to them for you and test each connection before it goes live.

Your phone

Your number stays your number

On Growth, keep your number and divert the calls you choose: after hours, after four rings, or all of them. Or use the Australian mobile we include.

Your website

No rebuild, one line of code

Web chat and the reviews widget go on with one line of code. WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or Shopify: we add it for you, in your colours.

Your diary

The calendar you already look at

Google or Outlook. Your busy times block bookings, and every job it books shows up where you’d look. Travel time between jobs is set up for you.

Connects to

Connected for you during set-up, on the plans that include them. You sign in to each account once, yourself, and we never ask for a password.

Proof

Running now for three Australian businesses.

All three answer typed enquiries with AI web chat, set up and looked after by our team in Parramatta. It always says it’s an AI assistant. Customer data is hosted in the United States, not sold, and not shared for anyone else’s purposes. Read their stories → · Privacy

HR and payroll · Parramatta

Employment Star

AI web chat on its own site. Visitors with one specific question now ask it, instead of reading and leaving.

Deals marketplace

Dealia

AI web chat answers typed questions from shoppers on its own site.

Machine shop · Wetherill Park

Advantek Australia

AI web chat answers typed enquiries on its own site, so a visitor’s question gets a reply.

Plans and prices

Start small. Move up when it pays.

Each plan keeps everything in the one below it. Under each price is only what that plan adds, so you can see what you’re paying the difference for.

Indicative entry-level prices for popular standalone tools and a typical message service, for illustration. Your own tools will differ, and you may not pay for all of them today. Ex GST on both sides. The LeadGenie column is Growth: calls and texts are billed by use on top, and most businesses spend about A$30 to A$70 a month on those (an estimate). Starter (A$199) has no phone line or texting, and Smart Tools have no AI answering for you. The left column also doesn’t price the enquiries that go unanswered overnight.

Response time

Nobody rings one business. They ring three.

Most jobs you lose go in the gap between the enquiry and the answer. Not to price or reviews, but to whoever picked up while your phone was in the ute.

Questions

What people ask on the demo call.

No. Start with Smart Tools from A$29 a month, with no AI answering for you. Add AI on your messages with Starter at A$199 a month, or on your phone as well with Growth at A$499. Each plan includes the tools in the one below it, and you can move up when it pays for itself.

Yes, on Growth. Your number stays on the van and the website, and we divert the calls you choose: after hours, after four rings, or all of them. Or use the Australian mobile number we include. Starter has no phone line. How call forwarding works →

Google and Outlook calendars, Gmail and Outlook email, your Google Business Profile, Facebook and Instagram messages and most website builders are connected for you. Job software such as ServiceM8 or Tradify isn’t synced as standard. On Pro, we can build it as a custom workflow. What it connects to →

It says so, takes the details and passes them to you, rather than guessing. It never makes up a price it hasn’t been given. Anyone who asks for you gets a message taken and a call-back requested, with what they’ve said so far attached.

No lock-in. It’s month to month, with 30 days’ notice to cancel and no exit fee, and prices are locked in for your first 12 months. The set-up fee isn’t refundable, except where the law requires it or for a billing error. If you leave, your customer data is yours and we export it for you.

Smart Tools are A$29, A$59 or A$89 a month, with no set-up fee. Starter is A$199 a month plus A$999 set-up. Growth is A$499 a month plus A$1,999 set-up, with calls (A$0.03 a minute) and texts (A$0.11 sent, A$0.02 received) billed by use: most businesses spend about A$30 to A$70 a month on those, an estimate. Pro is from A$799 a month plus set-up from A$2,499. All ex GST, fair use applies.

A free 30-minute video call. We’ll run an enquiry through your own business, then tell you which plan to start on, even when it’s the A$29 one.
