For Whakatāne operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.

We've worked with enough operators in Whakatāne to know that the brief that arrives in our inbox is rarely the brief that ends up shipped. The first thing we do on any AI receptionist project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.

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. Sounds Kiwi. Doesn't fumble names.

  • 01 Voice + chat, both trained on your business
  • 02 Knows your services, prices, and availability
  • 03 Books direct into your calendar – no double-bookings
  • 04 After-hours coverage with morning summary email

Built on: Vapi Twilio Claude Cal.com Stripe

Bay of Plenty

Why Whakatāne businesses are a fit for this.

  • Eastern Bay of Plenty runs on horticulture, aquaculture, and Māori-led enterprise – AI here works when it respects relationships first.
  • Kiwifruit, aquaculture, marine tourism, and a strong iwi economy. AI tools that work offline and bilingually find their home here.

We work with teams across Whakatāne: Whakatāne · Ōhope · Kawerau · Edgecumbe · Murupara · Ōpōtiki.

How we build AI receptionist for a Whakatāne team.

We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Whakatāne business, so value lands before the build is finished. 24/7 AI front desk.

The outcome for Whakatāne teams

If we build the right slice first, Whakatāne teams feel the difference inside the first month. Captures the 30-40% of enquiries that used to go to voicemail.

Not your typical AI agency.

Questions

FAQ

When does AI receptionist actually pay back?

Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a Whakatāne – so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.

Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?

Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call – fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.

Do you have proof this works for Whakatāne businesses?

Direct case study: Captures the 30-40% of enquiries that used to go to voicemail. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.

Will this run on our own infrastructure?

Yes, where it makes sense. AI receptionist can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Vapi, Twilio, Claude, Cal.com, Stripe but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
