When you're on the tools, you can't stop to answer every call or reply to every website message — but every missed enquiry is a missed job. AIssie is a 24/7 AI receptionist and answering service for Australian tradies: a virtual receptionist that picks up calls, an AI chatbot that replies to website and social enquiries, and a booking assistant — all while you focus on the work.
When a customer calls and you can't pick up, AIssie answers. It sounds like a real person, handles the conversation in plain Australian English, takes down the customer's details, and sends them straight to you. No more voicemails that never get returned. No more jobs lost to a competitor who picked up first.
Got a website, Facebook page, or Instagram? AIssie puts a chat assistant on all of them. Customers get instant answers to their questions at any time — and you get their details captured automatically without lifting a finger.
Most AI tools are built for office workers. AIssie understands that you're a tradie — on site, on the tools, and on the go. You need something that works while you can't. Whether you're a plumber dealing with emergency callouts at 11pm, an electrician who can't hear the phone on a noisy job site, or a builder managing multiple crews — AIssie handles the customer communication so you don't have to stop working to respond.
Both. AIssie works as a virtual receptionist and phone answering service for tradies — it answers your calls in a natural Australian voice, and the AI chatbot replies to website, Facebook and Instagram enquiries. You get one assistant covering the phone and your online channels 24/7.
AIssie works for any trade business — plumbers, electricians, builders, HVAC, landscapers, and more. The AI is configured to understand your specific services, service area, and pricing.
Yes. AIssie's voice assistant uses natural Australian English — not a robotic offshore voice. Customers typically engage with it as they would a real receptionist.
Job details, customer names, contact numbers, and enquiry descriptions are sent directly to you in real time — via SMS, email, or your preferred notification method.
Yes. Unlike a human receptionist, AIssie handles any number of simultaneous calls with no engaged tone — ideal during busy periods, peak seasons, or emergency spikes.
Most tradies are live within a few days — most of that time is testing. You point AIssie at your website or provide a summary of your services — no IT project or technical knowledge required.
Yes — AIssie is an AI phone agent built for trade businesses. It answers your calls 24/7 in a natural Australian voice, captures the job details, books appointments, and transfers urgent calls to you. It also covers your website and social channels with the same AI, so every enquiry is handled.
No. AIssie is a ready-made AI for tradies — there's no consulting project, custom development or ongoing IT support needed. You connect your number, point AIssie at your website, and it's working. If you ever get stuck, our Australian support team helps at no extra cost.
A traditional answering service for tradies takes a message and charges you per call, then you still have to ring the customer back — usually after they have already called the next trade on the list. AIssie answers around the clock for a flat monthly fee, holds a real conversation about the job, quotes from your own price list, books it into your calendar during the call, and only puts through the ones that genuinely need you.
Most virtual receptionist services for tradies bill per call or per minute — commonly $2–$4 a call against a monthly minimum, with an after-hours loading on top, so the week you are busiest is the week the bill hurts most. AIssie is a flat monthly fee: voice plans start at $99/month with no per-call charge, no after-hours premium and no lock-in contract.
