Like having someone answer the phone — without hiring anyone
A real AI voice that answers your calls, understands what the customer needs, and texts you a summary straight away.
Answers every call
24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Never ring out. If the AI can't connect, callers leave a voicemail and you get the recording straight away.
Gets the job details
Name, address, what's wrong, how urgent it is, when they want you there — all collected in a natural chat, no press-1-press-2 menus.
Texts you straight away
The moment the call ends, you get an SMS with everything you need to call them back and book the job.
Their words, not your guess
Burst pipes, gas leaks, flooding — the AI writes down what the caller actually said, word for word, and sends it straight to you. You decide what's urgent.
Knows repeat callers
If someone's calling back about an existing job, a follow-up, or a complaint — the AI recognises them and handles it properly.
See all your calls
Every call shows up in your PickupAI account — sorted by urgency. Listen to recordings, mark jobs as done. Works on your phone.

Common questions from tradies
Will customers know it's an AI?
The AI uses a natural Australian voice and sounds like a real receptionist. Most callers don't notice the difference. At the end of the call, the AI mentions it's an AI assistant — but by then, the job details are already captured and the customer is happy someone answered.
How long does setup take?
Under 10 minutes. You sign up, get a dedicated phone number within minutes, then set call forwarding on your mobile with one quick dial code. No apps to install, no hardware, no IT.
What if I want to answer the call myself?
The AI only picks up when you don't. Call forwarding is set to kick in after about 20 seconds of ringing. If you answer first, the AI doesn't activate. You're always in control.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No. Month-to-month, cancel anytime. The early bird rate ($149/mo) guarantees your price for 3 months, but you can still cancel at any time with no penalty.
What happens after the 14-day trial?
If you're happy, your early bird rate of $149/mo (inc. GST) starts automatically and is locked in for 3 months. After that, the standard rate is $199/mo. If not for you, cancel before day 14 and you won't be charged a cent. No awkward phone calls needed — just cancel from your account.
Can it handle emergencies properly?
It doesn't try to, and that's deliberate. Someone whose house is filling with gas rings 000, not a plumber — so the AI doesn't give safety advice and doesn't decide what counts as urgent. It writes down exactly what the caller said, in their words, and sends it to you. You know the job and the customer; it knows a phone call. You can also have calls transferred to your mobile during business hours.
From the ones who've tried it
Based on early customer feedback. Results may vary.
"I used to miss 5-6 calls a week when I was on a job. Last month the AI picked up 47 calls and texted me every job straight away. Reckon I've won at least 15 extra jobs."Steve M. — Plumber, Western Sydney
"Setup took about 10 minutes — just forwarded my calls and it was done. The AI sounds so natural most people don't even realise it's not a real receptionist."Dave K. — Electrician, Northern Beaches
Built by Australians, for Australian tradies
We're a small Australian tech team who got sick of seeing good tradies lose jobs to missed calls. PickupAI uses the same AI technology behind ChatGPT — but trained specifically for trade businesses.
