Stop losing $40K+ a year to missed calls.
Tradie Admin Autopilot answers every call, replies to every enquiry, follows up every quote, and chases every invoice. Built for Australian tradies. Live in 14 days. $2,500 setup + $349/month.
How much are missed calls actually costing you?
Drag the sliders. Most tradies are stunned by the number. Defaults are conservative for Australian residential trades.
Hear the Australian AI voice answering your phone
30-second sample. Real Australian voice. Real conversation flow. This is what your customers will hear at 11pm on a Saturday.
Five workflows. One fixed price.
Every Tradie Admin Autopilot build ships with all five — they only work properly together.
AI Voice Receptionist
Australian-accented voice answers calls 24/7, qualifies the caller, books the job into your calendar or job-management app, and texts you a summary. Transfers urgent jobs straight to your phone. Works with your existing business number — no number change required.
Missed-Call SMS Recovery
If a call still slips through, an SMS goes out within 60 seconds: "Hi [name], saw I missed your call. I'll ring back within the hour, or reply with what you need and I'll quote." Recovers 30-50% of missed calls automatically — a win the AI receptionist alone can't get.
Quote Follow-Up Sequence
Sent a quote three days ago and heard nothing? AI follows up on day 3, day 7, and day 14 with messages that sound like a real person, not a robot. Recovers 15-20% of cold quotes — that's 2-4 extra jobs a month for most operators.
Google Review Automation
Job done? Customer gets a thank-you SMS with your Google review link. Most tradies go from 2 reviews a year to 10+. More 5-star reviews means more inbound enquiries, more local pack visibility, and more trust at the moment a customer is comparing options.
Xero / MYOB Invoice Automation
Quote accepted? Invoice generates automatically in Xero or MYOB and goes out to the customer with a payment link. Late payment? Reminders fire on day 7, 14, and 21 — no awkward chasing calls, no money sitting in your debtor list for months.
Plays with the software you already run
We integrate with one job-management tool and one accounting tool, plus optional extras. Pick yours below.
Running something else? We probably integrate with it — Ascora, Fergus, Jobber, NextMinute and a dozen others. Mention it in the audit call and we'll tell you straight.
One offer. One price.
No tiers, no add-ons, no per-call charges. Same price for the solo plumber as for the 8-staff electrical outfit.

Most agencies charge $2,500-$5,000 setup plus $500-$1,500/mo for less. We're at the value sweet spot — and our retainer is the lowest serious offer in the AU market.
Why the monthly retainer isn't optional
The $349/mo isn't a profit grab — it's how AI receptionists actually keep working. Customer language changes, your services change, weird call patterns crop up that need re-training. Without monthly tuning, an AI agent's accuracy decays in 60-90 days. We don't sell setup-only because setup-only fails — and a failed AI receptionist makes you look worse than no receptionist at all. If you'd rather DIY the tuning, fair enough — TransferToAI at $99/mo is a better fit than us.

How we stack up against the alternatives
The AU AI receptionist market has 4 distinct shapes. Here's where Tradie Admin Autopilot fits.
TransferToAI & similar
Cheapest option. You configure the AI yourself. Most tradies give up in week 2 because the prompts are fiddly and the integrations don't quite work.
Sophiie / Johnni
Off-the-shelf AI receptionist platforms. Generic scripts, not customised to trade-specific language or job booking flows. Better than DIY, weaker than tailored.
Get Fully Booked
Tradie-specific competitor at similar setup price. Strong on receptionist + quote follow-up. Doesn't include review automation or invoice automation. Higher monthly retainer than ours.
Tradie Admin Autopilot
All 5 workflows. 14-day delivery. Australian voice. Penrith-based founder picks up the phone. No lock-in. You keep the configuration.
Competitor pricing as advertised on their public sites at time of writing. Always verify current pricing direct with each vendor before deciding.
What tradies actually ask us
Yes — the AI introduces itself as a virtual assistant. We tested both ways and Aussies prefer it. Pretending to be human costs you trust the second a customer twigs. Up-front honesty plus a fast useful conversation gets you a booked job — that's what matters.
Every call is recorded. You review weekly. We tune monthly. Wrong calls happen in the first month or two — that's why the retainer exists. After about 60 days, the AI handles 90%+ of routine bookings cleanly. Edge cases (unusual jobs, very thick accents, background noise) still get transferred to you.
Yes. Your number stays. The AI is layered on top using forwarding rules. Customers call the same number they always have. You decide which calls go straight to you, which go to the AI, and which go to AI first then escalate.
Solo tradies are our most common customer. If anything, the ROI is sharper for solos because you're the only one taking calls — every missed call is direct lost revenue. Setup adapts to your size: same price, lighter integrations, simpler scripts.
The AI screens for urgency keywords — burst pipe, no power, gas smell, flood, fire. Genuine emergencies are forwarded to you straight away. Non-urgent jobs (a leaky tap, a quote request, a hot water replacement) get politely booked into your calendar for the next morning.
Yes — those three plus Simpro are our most common job-management integrations. Booked jobs land directly in your system as new jobs with customer details, address, job description and photos if attached. We connect everything in week 1 of the build.
60-day satisfaction guarantee. If by day 60 you're not seeing more bookings or more saved time, we refund the setup fee minus actual costs (call charges, voice provider fees we've paid on your behalf — usually $200-$400). The retainer stops the moment you cancel. No fight, no fine print.
The $349/mo retainer is part of the offer. We don't sell setup-only because setup-only fails — AI agents need monthly tuning to stay accurate. The retainer is month-to-month, no lock-in, cancel any time with 30 days notice. If you cancel, you keep the configuration but the AI stops running.
Stop missing calls. Start booking jobs while you sleep.
Free 15-min audit. No sales pitch. We'll tell you straight whether AI's right for your business — or whether you'd be better off with a human receptionist.
15 minutes. One-page recommendation.
Tell us where calls are leaking and what you'd like the AI to take off your plate. We come back within one business day.
