Sound familiar?

Running a business shouldn't mean living in your inbox

It's 9pm and you're still answering emails

Dinner's going cold while you type out your prices, again.

The job went to whoever replied first

By the time you called back, they'd already booked someone else.

Your weekend isn't really a weekend

One eye on the kids, one on your phone, in case it's a job.

You pay for leads, then miss them

Ads and Google bring enquiries, but they arrive while you're flat out.

A receptionist isn't in the budget

Hiring help costs thousands a month you don't have yet.

The same questions, all day long

“Do you service my area? How much? When can you come?”

It's not that you don't care. You just can't be in two places at once. Now you don't have to be.

The real cost

What are slow replies costing you?

Most customers book the first business that replies. Move the sliders to see what's slipping through the cracks.

How it works

Your new front desk, ready in three steps

No tech skills needed. Set it up yourself in minutes, then the jobs come to you.

STEP 1

Pop in your website

Your assistant reads your website and learns your services, prices, areas and FAQs. Check the details and fill any gaps.

STEP 2

Test it and make it yours

Pick your colours and tone, then ask it the questions your customers ask. Fix any answer in seconds.

STEP 3

Add it to your website

Copy one line onto your site, with step-by-step guides for WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify and more. Connect your email so it answers there too.

From enquiry to paid

One assistant for the whole job, not just the first hello

Most chatbots stop at hello. Yours carries the job all the way to paid and reviewed, while you get on with the work.

  1. Enquiry comes inOn your website or in your inbox, at 9pm on a Sunday or 7am on a Monday.
  2. Answered in secondsIn your voice, using only the prices and answers you've approved.
  3. Job sent to youName, number, suburb, the job and how urgent it is. Or they tap “Text me back” for a person.
  4. Invoice sentAsk your agent in plain words, or it drafts one when a customer asks. Card or bank transfer.
  5. Payment chasedPolite reminders 1, 7 and 14 days after it's due, so you never have to.
  6. Review asked forA friendly Google review request a few hours after they pay.

You decide which steps it does by itself. Everything else waits for your OK.

Features

Everything a great front office does, without the wages

Website chat, 24/7

Answers questions, checks your service area and takes the job details while you work.

Answers your email

Reads new emails, writes replies in your style and sends the ones it's sure about, or saves them to your drafts.

Instant follow-up

Emails new website enquiries within a minute or two, before they ring the next business.

Invoices and Pay now

Professional invoices with your logo and a Pay now button. Card or bank transfer, matched to payments for you.

Chases late payments

Friendly, factual reminders after the due date, so you get paid without the awkward call.

Bills to pay

Finds the bills in your inbox, reminds you before they're due and shows exactly how to pay.

Google review requests

Asks every paying customer for a review, the moment they're happiest.

Sounds like you

Learns from the emails you've sent, so replies sound like you wrote them.

Ask your agent

“Invoice Sam Lee $300 for gutter cleaning and email it.” You see exactly what it'll do before it does it.

Monday summary

Your enquiries, after-hours chats, emails answered and invoices paid, every Monday morning.

Learns from your website

Reads your site and Google profile, so it knows your services, prices and hours from day one.

Private and secure

Your customer data stays private and is never used to train AI models.

Built to be trusted

Smart enough to help, careful enough to trust

It never makes things up

Prices, warranties and refunds come from a short policy sheet you approve. It quotes it word for word, and says the team will confirm anything that isn't there.

Tricky ones come to you

Complaints, refunds, legal or insurance questions always wait for you. Customers can tap “Text me back” to reach a person any time.

You choose what it does by itself

Start with everything waiting for your OK. Switch on sending by itself one job at a time, with a daily limit you set.

Honest with your customers

It says it's an AI assistant. Follow-up emails show your business details and an unsubscribe link, as the Spam Act requires.

It never moves your money

It finds your bills and shows exactly how to pay, but you always press pay. Your customers pay you through Stripe.

Checked before customers see it

A one-click check-up asks it 20 real and tricky questions, marks every answer and tells you what to fix.

Built for

Made for small service businesses

It learns the questions your customers actually ask.

Tradies“Do you service my suburb?”
Cleaners“How much for an end of lease clean?”
Clinics & allied health“Anything free Saturday morning?”
Salons & beauty“How long does a full colour take?”
Mechanics“Can you fit a service in this week?”

No surprise bills

One flat price. The AI is included.

Many tools charge extra every time the AI answers, so the bill grows as it gets busier. Yours never does: no per-answer fees, no setup fee, no lock-in.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Will it sound like a robot?

No. You choose the tone, and it answers with your real services and prices, so replies read like a helpful member of your team. Connect your email and it learns how you write from the emails you've already sent.

Can it answer my emails too?

Yes. Connect your business email (Gmail, Google Workspace, Outlook, Microsoft 365 or most website email) and it sorts new emails, writes replies, saves enquiries as leads, matches customer payments to your invoices and lists the bills you need to pay.

Will it send anything without asking me?

Only if you let it. Out of the box, every reply and invoice waits for your OK. You can switch on sending by itself for the simple ones, with a daily limit, and complaints, refunds and anything sensitive always wait for you. Everything it does is listed in your dashboard.

Does it tell customers it's an AI?

Yes. The chat says it's an AI assistant and offers a “Text me back” button for anyone who'd rather talk to a person. Being upfront builds trust, and it's where Australian rules are heading.

Does it pay my bills?

No. It finds your bills, reminds you before they're due and shows the supplier's own payment details, but you always do the paying. It never moves your money.

What if it doesn't know the answer?

It never guesses. It tells the customer someone will be in touch and sends the enquiry straight to you.

Can I check what it says?

Yes. Test it as much as you like before it goes live, and every chat is saved in your dashboard. If an answer needs changing, update your details and it learns straight away.

Do I need any technical skills?

No. It reads your website for you, and adding it to your site is one copy and paste. There are step-by-step guides for WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify and Webflow, or email the code to your web person in one click.

Where do the leads go?

Straight to your email the moment a customer leaves their details, and into your dashboard, with the job, suburb and how urgent it is.

What do I pay today?

Just $1.00 for your first 7 days. There's no setup fee. On day 8 your monthly plan starts automatically. Your receipts come from Stripe.

Are there any other fees?

No, just your monthly plan. Two optional add-ons can be switched on from your dashboard any time: website analytics ($3.99/month) and a monthly website report ($4.99/month). If you choose to switch on card payments for your invoices, Stripe charges its usual fee (about 1.7% + 30c per Australian card) and Top Hat AI adds 0.1%, both taken from each card payment. Bank transfers have no fees, and every fee is shown in your dashboard.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Cancel before your 7 days are up and you won't pay anything more. After that it's month to month, with no lock-in contract.

Is my customer information safe?

Yes. Payments are handled by Stripe, and your customer data is kept private and never used to train public AI models.
