What it does

What does an AI receptionist do for a Perth business?

An AI receptionist answers your business phone when you can't, talks to the caller in a natural voice, works out what they need and how urgent it is, and books the job or passes it to you. With Nodus, every call also becomes a contact in your CRM, with follow-up that runs whether or not you remember it.

  1. Answers every call, 24/7

    Days, nights, weekends and public holidays. No hold music and no voicemail for the caller to give up on.

  2. Qualifies, then decides

    Every enquiry is scored. An urgent job with a ready customer is flagged straight away, rather than sitting in a list with the tyre-kickers.

  3. Books into your real calendar

    It books against your own working hours, so you are never double-booked and never booked at 4am.

  4. Tells you on WhatsApp

    You get every new lead on your own WhatsApp with a plain-English summary of who called and what they want.

  5. Follows up by SMS and email

    The caller lands in a CRM with a pipeline you can see, and the follow-up runs on a schedule instead of when you get home.

  6. Records every call

    Each call is recorded, transcribed and summarised on the customer's timeline, and every call opens by telling the caller it is recorded.

Who it's for

Which Perth businesses is it built for?

It is built for Perth trades and local service businesses where the person who answers the phone is also the person doing the work, and where a missed call usually means the customer rings the next business on Google.

Perth makes that harder than most cities. The metro area runs more than 100 km from Yanchep down to Mandurah, so a lot of the day is spent driving between jobs, and those are exactly the hours the phone rings.

  • Air conditioning & refrigerationA run of 40-degree days fills the phone faster than any crew can return calls. It takes every call and books the urgent ones first.
  • ElectriciansSeparates the "power's out" calls from the quote requests, so you know which one to ring back between jobs.
  • Plumbers & gas fittersBurst pipes and hot water failures do not wait for business hours, and neither does the receptionist.
  • Builders, patios & roofingQuote enquiries are captured with the suburb, the job and the timeline, instead of a voicemail that says "call me back".
  • Landscaping, cleaning, pest & poolRecurring and one-off work booked straight into your week, with the follow-up done for you.

Questions

Questions Perth business owners ask.

How much does an AI receptionist cost in Perth?

Nodus starts at A$149 a month for the AI receptionist on its own: it answers, qualifies, books into your calendar and runs SMS and email follow-up. The full system, which also quotes, books site visits, invoices, chases payment, dispatches jobs and runs your SEO, is A$1,497 a month. It is month to month, with no lock-in.

Does it sound like a robot?

No. It speaks in a natural voice, using the name and greeting you choose, and it answers from your own services, prices and service area. The quickest way to judge is to hear it: the live demo builds a receptionist from your website and lets you talk to it in your browser.

Can I keep my existing business number?

Yes. Calls divert from the number your customers already have, so nothing changes for them. You can divert every call, only after-hours calls, or only the ones you do not pick up yourself.

What happens if a caller asks something it can't answer?

It takes the caller's name, number and what they need, tells them someone will get back to them, and sends you the details straight away on WhatsApp with a summary of the call. The caller also lands in your CRM, so the follow-up does not depend on you remembering.

Does it answer after hours and on weekends, on Perth time?

Yes. It answers 24 hours a day, every day, and books against your own working hours in Perth time. Western Australia has no daylight saving, so an answering service that keeps Sydney office hours stops at 2pm Perth time in summer. This one does not stop.

How long does it take to set up?

It starts with a short conversation rather than a signup button. We set the receptionist up on your services, prices, suburbs and hours, you call it and test it yourself, and you divert your number only when you are happy with it.

Where is my callers' information kept?

Nodus AI Systems is an Australian company and handles personal information under the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles. The service is hosted in Australia, the United States and the EU. Every call opens by telling the caller it is recorded, and recordings and transcripts are kept for 90 days by default, which you can change. The details are in our privacy policy.

Is there a lock-in contract?

No. You pay monthly and can cancel at any time; the cancellation takes effect at the end of that month's billing cycle.
