Answers in your business name
Every call, 24/7, including nights, weekends and public holidays. Many calls at once, so nobody hears a busy tone.
Works out the job
What's wrong, the address, how urgent it is, and photos by text if they help. It answers questions about your area, call-out fee and services.
Books it during the call
Checks your calendar and books the quote visit or job straight into your job system, then texts the customer a confirmation.
Handles emergencies safely
Safety steps first, the earliest slot booked, and the job flagged urgent to you straight away. No live transfers.
Filters the time-wasters
Spam, sales calls and tyre-kickers are handled politely, so the only calls that reach you are the ones that matter.
Sends you four lines, not an essay
After every call you get a short text: name, job, address and booked time. Plus one briefing every morning.

AI receptionist questions, answered straight.
What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist answers your business phone with a natural voice, works out what the caller needs, and books the job or takes the details, any hour of the day. Krew60's AI receptionist, the Office Krew, is set up around your business: your services, service areas, call-out fee, hours and the way you like jobs booked.
Will my customers know it's AI?
Yes. It tells callers it's an AI assistant and that the call is recorded, then gets on with helping them. Most callers care far more about getting an answer and a booking than about who picks up.
What happens with an emergency call?
It gives the caller the safety steps first, like turning off the water or the power, books the earliest slot and flags the job to you as urgent straight away. It doesn't transfer calls live, so you're never pulled off a job mid-task.
Does it work with my job software?
Yes. Bookings land in the calendar and job system you already use, like ServiceM8, Tradify or simPRO, so there's no double entry.
How is it different from an answering service?
A traditional answering service takes a message and passes it on. An AI receptionist answers every call at once, books the job into your calendar during the call, texts the customer a confirmation and sends you a short summary, 24/7, with no per-call message fees.
How much does an AI receptionist cost?
It depends on the size of your business and which of the five office jobs you want covered. We go through the exact numbers on a free 20-minute Front Office Audit. For comparison, hiring people to cover all five jobs costs about A$234,000 a year in salaries.
Does it sound like a robot?
Ring one of our demo lines on this page and judge for yourself. Yours answers in your business name, with a natural voice set up for your business.
Do I keep my phone number?
Yes. Calls forward to your Office Krew only when you're busy, don't answer or it's after hours. You still pick up when you can.
Every call answered. Every job booked.
