The Aussie AI Agency difference: fully managed by our team
Set-and-forget AI tools don’t work. Left on its own, any AI agent will get things wrong, and nobody notices until a customer does. AI does the job properly only when real people monitor it, check its work and keep training it.
That’s what we do. Our team reviews your AI receptionist’s calls every day, fixes anything it got wrong and trains it to do better tomorrow. It’s not a DIY tool or a trial you have to set up and babysit: we manage all of it, so you can get on with running your business.
We build your AI receptionist around your business and connect it for you. You don't need any technical knowledge, and there's nothing to install or configure.
We listen to your AI receptionist's calls every day: what callers asked, what it said and whether it got the message right.
Anything it didn't handle well, we fix that day: new answers, better wording, the right person for each message.
Want something changed? Tell Niel and it's done for you. No tickets, no help articles, no doing it yourself.
You get an email with two options: add a block of minutes at your plan’s rate, or move up a plan. Your calls never stop.
The most you pay in extra minutes is the gap to the next plan up. A month can never cost more than the plan you should have been on.
If you’re paying for 700 minutes and using 200, we say so. Change plans any time, no contract.
An AI receptionist only works once it knows your business. We do that work with you, so it sounds like your business from the first call, not a robot reading a script.
Offer ends 30 November 2026
One-off setup $550 (normally $990) for a standard setup with no CRM integration, until 30 November 2026. It covers building your receptionist, training it on your business, connecting your number and calendar, and testing. CRM integrations are quoted separately. Your monthly plan covers ongoing tuning and improvements.
Only need the website chat, not the phones? We build a custom AI chatbot around your business for a one-off $299 setup, then $29.99, $49.99 or $99.99 a month for up to 100, 250 or 600 chats. Ex GST, month-to-month, no charges for extra chats. Every receptionist plan above already includes a website chatbot.
Your AI receptionist can make calls as well as take them: quote follow-ups, appointment reminders, reactivating past customers or ringing staff to fill a shift. Top up credit in your portal ($100, $250, $500), upload your list, and calls are charged per second at $0.60 a minute with phone call charges included and no GST. Outbound calls don’t use your plan’s inbound minutes, and our team manages every campaign with you.
One agency for everything AI. Each product is built and looked after by us, and works with your AI receptionist.
+ $299 one-off setup. Replies to routine emails in your voice and drafts anything sensitive for you to approve.
+ $299 one-off setup. Two-way text conversations, booking links and reminders from an Australian number.
