Deskie AI

Deskie AI is a virtual receptionist built for Australian small businesses that hate missing phone calls. When you can't pick up — because you're on a job, driving, or with a client — Deskie answers in a natural Australian voice, greets the caller by your business name, asks what they need, and texts you the full details within seconds. It also sends a confirmation SMS to the caller so they know you'll be in touch. The goal is simple: turn missed calls into captured leads without adding admin work.

Setting it up takes about three minutes, and you keep your existing phone number. Deskie comes pre-loaded with industry knowledge — it knows a burst pipe is urgent and a general enquiry can wait. You can also set it to filter out calls that aren't your type of work (like a pool cleaning call to an electrician), book appointments into your calendar, or even transfer urgent calls to you. The voice is friendly and Australian, so callers don't feel like they're talking to a robot.

This tool is ideal for tradies, sole traders, and small service businesses — plumbers, electricians, landscapers, cleaners, IT support, and similar. If you regularly miss calls while you're on the tools or with customers, Deskie catches those leads and sends them straight to your phone. The pricing is straightforward: $99/month for 60 answered calls, with a free trial of 14 calls to test it out.
