What AI receptionist actually does
A 24/7 AI receptionist that answers calls and chats, books appointments, takes deposits, and routes urgent issues to a real human. With the right workflow automated, nine hours of admin a week could drop to about one.*

Questions Oamaru businesses ask
How fast could we have AI receptionist in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most Oamaru businesses. Faster if your data is in good shape and slower if we're untangling a legacy integration first. We'll give you a realistic number on the scoping call rather than the optimistic one.
What if our Oamaru doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape - ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful - is part of the engagement. For AI receptionist specifically, we typically run that work on Vapi, Twilio, Claude, Cal.com, Stripe and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
What does AI receptionist cost for an Oamaru?
Pilots start from a fixed scope priced to land a measurable result inside 6 weeks. Pricing depends on data volume, integration complexity, and whether you need us on managed services afterwards. We'll quote precisely after a 30-minute scoping call.
What does the Privacy Act 2020 mean for AI?
The same rules apply as for any system holding personal information. A breach that could cause serious harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, who expects it within 72 hours.
Can it keep track of ACC levies?
Yes. ACC work levies are set by the classification unit your work falls under, and self-employed people are invoiced after filing their tax return.
