Your phone rings. You're on a roof.

Or under a house. Or with a customer. Or it's 7pm and you've just sat down.

The call goes to voicemail.

The customer waits. Then they don't.

They call the next tradie on Google.

Missed calls cost the average tradie $42,000 a year

40% of calls to tradies go unanswered during work hours. Australian businesses lose over $8 billion per year to missed calls.

What if someone answered for you?

Not a call centre. Not a chatbot. A phone answering service powered by AI that knows your trade, answers 24/7, and captures every detail.

FAQ

Common questions about AI receptionists for trades

What is an AI receptionist for trades?
An AI receptionist answers your business phone calls using a natural-sounding Australian voice. It greets callers with your business name, captures job details, qualifies leads, and sends you an SMS summary — so you never miss an enquiry while you're on the tools.
How does Relay work as an after-hours answering service?
When you can't pick up — after hours, weekends, or when you're on a job — Relay answers instantly. It captures the caller's name, contact, job type, and urgency, then sends you an SMS so you can call back at a time that suits you. No voicemail, no lost leads.
Does Relay integrate with ServiceM8 and Xero?
Yes. Relay connects to ServiceM8 to create jobs, look up customers, and check your schedule during a call. Xero integration is included so your job and invoicing data stays in sync. Calendar integration is also available for real-time appointment booking.
Is Relay available for all trades in Australia?
Relay works for any trades business in Australia — electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, builders, landscapers, and more. The AI is trained on trade-specific language so it understands emergency callouts, quote requests, and job bookings.
How much does an AI receptionist cost compared to an answering service?
Relay is $199/month flat rate with no per-minute charges. Traditional answering services typically cost $2–$5 per call, which adds up fast for busy trades businesses. With Relay you get unlimited 24/7 answering, ServiceM8 integration, and a 14-day free trial.
Can Relay handle multiple calls at the same time?
Yes. Unlike a single receptionist or answering service, Relay can answer multiple calls simultaneously. Every caller gets picked up instantly — no hold music, no engaged signal, no missed leads.
What happens when Relay answers a call?
Relay greets the caller with your business name, asks qualifying questions to understand the job, captures their contact details, and determines urgency. You get an SMS summary within seconds of the call ending, with a tap-to-call-back link.
How quickly can I set up Relay?
Most trades businesses are live within 24 hours. We read your website to train the AI on your services, hours, and service areas. You set up call forwarding on your existing number — no new phone number needed, no hardware, no long-term contracts.
Can I use Relay as an overflow call answering service?
Yes — overflow call answering is how most tradies use Relay. Set up conditional call forwarding so calls only go to Relay when you're busy, on another call, or don't answer within a few rings. You stay in control of which calls Relay picks up.

The next call you miss could be a $5,000 job.

Australian tradies use Relay to answer every call, 24/7.
