Callout picks up after a couple of rings, qualifies the job, and texts the customer a booking link if they want one. You see the lead the moment they hang up. Get up and running in a few minutes.
If you’re an Australian carpenter, your phone rings while you’re framing a wall in Brunswick, hanging architraves on a finish job in Marrickville, or driving between a deck rebuild in Manly and a kitchen-cabinet measure in Bondi. Homeowners and builders don’t leave a message. They ring the next chippie on Google.
Callout exists for that reason. We’re an AI receptionist purpose-built for Aussie trades, with a real-sounding Australian voice that picks up every call, scopes the job, and hands you a written lead summary the second the call ends. You stay on the tools. The work keeps coming in.
Search your business by name and suburb when you sign up. We draft your services and FAQs from your website while you watch. Pick a voice from our Australian voice library, take it for a quick test call, choose a plan. About a minute later your dedicated Australian number is answering calls. Available across VIC, NSW, QLD, SA, WA and TAS.
Callout takes the call exactly the way a sharp office manager would. Captures what the customer needs, where they are, how urgent it is, and texts them a booking link if they want one. You see the lead the moment they hang up.
From a Friday-night skirting repair to a full extension frame-up on Monday morning, Callout knows what to ask and what to book. Twelve common job types out of the box, plus anything custom you train it on.
The moment the call ends, you get a summary written for you. The job, the urgency, a ballpark value, and what to do next.
