The Never Miss a Call AI receptionist works by forwarding your existing business phone number to an AI-powered answering system. The AI answers in a natural Australian voice, captures caller details, books jobs into ServiceM8 or SimPRO, escalates emergencies, and sends you an instant SMS summary — all within minutes of setup.
Forward your number. AI answers the call. Job gets booked. You get the summary. Done.
No new phone number. No hardware. No software to install. No contracts.
Your AI receptionist plugs into your existing business phone in under 10 minutes... and starts capturing every call you're currently losing to voicemail. Right now, while you're reading this, a customer is ringing your number. Nobody's picking up. They're already dialling your competitor.
You keep your existing business number. Nothing changes for your customers.
When you're under a house, up a ladder, or knocking off for the arvo... you forward your calls to the AI receptionist number. She'll be right from there.

Live Call — AI Receptionist Active
"Hi, you've reached Perth Emergency Plumbing. My name's Sarah, how can I help you today?"
"I've got water pouring through my ceiling — I think a pipe's burst upstairs."
"I'm sorry to hear that — let me get someone out to you as quickly as possible. Can you tell me your address?"
"42 Ocean Drive, Mandurah."
"Got it. Have you been able to turn off the water at the mains?"
"No, I don't know where the mains tap is."
"No worries — it's usually at the front of the property near the meter. I'll have Mike call you back within 5 minutes. I'm booking this as an emergency priority right now."
Result: Emergency job booked. Customer guided. Plumber alerted. Total call time: 2 min 15 sec.
The AI picks up in 2 rings. Greets the caller by your business name. Has a real conversation.
Not a phone tree. Not "press 1 for this, press 2 for that." A proper conversation... capturing everything you need to get the job done.
Asks the right questions for your trade
A plumber's AI asks about water damage and mains shutoff. An electrician's AI asks about sparking and safety switches. Your trade, your questions.
Captures name, number, address, and problem details
Everything you'd ask if you picked up yourself... the AI grabs it all on the first call. No callbacks needed.
Detects emergencies and escalates instantly
Burst pipe? Gas leak? Sparking switchboard? The AI rings your on-call number immediately. No delay. No voicemail. See how emergency escalation works.
Handles unlimited calls at the same time
Storm season? Twenty calls at once? Every single one gets answered. No busy signals. No hold music. No lost leads walking straight to your competitor. See how the AI stacks up against a human receptionist.
Here's where it gets good...
The AI doesn't just take a message. It books the job. Connects to your existing CRM. Checks your calendar. Creates a complete job card with every detail the caller gave. No manual data entry. No missed info. No scribbling on the back of a receipt.
Creates job cards in ServiceM8
Customer name, address, job description, urgency level, contact details — all populating while you're still on the tools.
Checks your live calendar for availability
The AI sees your schedule. Suggests the next available slot. No double-booking. No awkward phone-tag later.
Collects deposits via Stripe
Non-emergency booking? The AI collects a call-out fee or deposit before you even leave the house. Money in your account before you start the van.
Syncs with Xero for invoicing
Customer records, job details, payment data — all flowing straight into your accounting system. No more end-of-week data entry marathon.

Why the daily report changes everything
Most call answering services charge a flat monthly fee... and you never know if it's actually working. With Never Miss a Call, you see the numbers every single day. After 14 days, the data makes the decision for you. No sales pitch needed.
Most tradies are fully set up and catching calls before smoko. Here's what Day 1 actually looks like...
Quick Setup Call (10 minutes)
You tell us your business name, job types, service area, preferred greeting. We configure everything on our end. You grab a coffee.
Test Call
We call you. You forward to the AI. You hear exactly how it handles a call. Adjust the greeting, questions, or tone until it sounds spot on.
Go Live
Forward your number. Head to your first job. The AI is handling every call you can't answer... starting right now.
First Call Captured
Your phone buzzes. "New job booked — hot water system replacement, 14 Maple St, Southport. Est. value: $1,800." You didn't stop what you were doing. You didn't even know the phone rang. But the job is booked.
End of Day 1
Three calls captured. Two jobs booked. $4,200 in estimated revenue secured. Calls you would've missed... because you were under a house or up a ladder. That's money in your pocket instead of your competitor's.
This is a real demo of the AI receptionist handling an emergency plumbing call. This is exactly what your customers hear when they ring after hours... judge for yourself.
Can't tell it's an AI? Neither can your callers. That's the whole point. Try it free for 2 weeks.
The AI is trained for your specific trade. Asking the right questions. Using the right language. Following the right escalation rules. Not some generic call centre script.
The AI asks about water damage, mains shutoff, pipe material, location of the leak. Burst pipes, gas leaks, flooding? Instant escalation to your on-call plumber. No delay.
Sample AI question: "Can you tell me — is the water affecting any electrical fittings or power points?"

Captures lock type, residential/commercial/automotive, ID verification questions, exact location for dispatch. Lockouts are treated as immediate priority. Your customer isn't standing in the rain waiting.
Sample AI question: "Is this a house, car, or business lockout? And can you confirm you're the owner or tenant?"
AI receptionist for locksmiths — coming soon

"Setup took about 8 minutes. By lunchtime I had my first call captured — a hot water replacement worth $1,800. I was under a house at the time. Without the AI, that call goes to voicemail... and the customer calls someone else. That's $1,800 I would've lost."
