Sends you the summary

Your best receptionist. Better.

Everything a human receptionist does, available 24/7, trained on your specific business, and at a fraction of the cost.

Available 24/7

It doesn't sleep, doesn't take breaks, and never sends calls to voicemail. Every call answered, every time — including 11pm on a Sunday.

Sounds human

Natural voice, conversational pace. Plain NZ English. Customers often don't realise they're talking to AI until you tell them.

Trained on your business

Knows your services, pricing ranges, hours, and FAQs. Gives accurate answers on day one. Sounds like it's been working for you for years.

Books on the call

Checks your live calendar, offers specific time slots, and confirms the booking before hanging up. The caller gets a confirmation email. You get a calendar event. Nobody calls you back.

Takes detailed messages

Captures name, number, what they need, and urgency level. You get a full email summary within 60 seconds of every call ending.

Urgent call alerts

Detects burst pipes, power outages, gas leaks — anything that can't wait. Sends you an alert immediately so you can call back fast.

AI Receptionist

Built for your industry.

Select your business type and see exactly how Switchboard AI works for you.

On the tools, not on the phone.

Your AI answers every call while you're under a house, up a ladder, or driving between jobs. Gets the job details, books the site visit, texts you the urgent ones.

  • Takes job details
    Records scope, location, urgency, and customer contact. You get everything you need for a quote.
  • Books site visits
    Syncs with your calendar and books the appointment. No back-and-forth.
  • Urgent alerts
    Burst pipes, power outages, gas leaks — you get a text within 60 seconds.
  • Filters time-wasters
    Asks the right questions upfront so you're only calling back qualified leads.

Zero missed calls in 90 days. Before this we were losing maybe three or four jobs a week to voicemail. The AI even sent me a text when someone had a fuse box emergency at 7am.

Got questions? We've got answers.

It books the appointment on the call. It checks your real calendar availability, offers the caller specific time slots, confirms the booking before hanging up, and sends them an automatic confirmation email. You get a calendar event. The caller gets a confirmation. No callbacks needed.

We use Cal.com, which connects to Google Calendar and Outlook. Your availability is checked in real time — the AI only offers times that are actually free, and new bookings appear in your calendar instantly.

It takes the caller's details and tells them you'll be in touch. It never guesses, never makes things up, and never leaves a caller hanging. You get an email summary within 60 seconds.

Your AI is upfront about being an AI if asked directly — we think that's the right approach and most callers don't mind at all. What they care about is whether it helps them, and it does.

Tradies (plumbers, electricians, builders), hospitality (cafés, bars, restaurants), professional services (accountants, lawyers, consultants), health practitioners, and more. If your business takes phone bookings or enquiries, it works.

No. Month-to-month. Cancel anytime with no notice period. We'd rather earn your business every month than lock you in.

Because this is a done-for-you service, not a template app. We configure your voice, greeting, call flows, business information, calendar logic, testing, and launch support before your AI goes live. If you bundle AI with a Starter website, we halve the setup fee. If you bundle it with a Growth or Premium website, we waive the setup fee entirely.

We offer a live demo you can call right now, not a generic self-serve trial. For most small businesses, that demo is enough to decide. If you have a more complex setup, we can scope a paid pilot or custom rollout.

Your AI is typically live within 24 hours of you completing the setup form. We've had businesses answering calls the same day they signed up.

You email or call Harry directly. Not a support ticket system — a person. If something's wrong with your AI, we fix it same day.
