AI receptionist for tradies, mobile services & small crews
Never miss a call again.
When you can’t get to the phone, your Better Half does. Calls answered. Quotes sent. Invoices chased. Like having someone running the office — without needing to hire one.

of calls to sole traders go unanswered
lost per year in missed work
before they call the next name on Google
Your phone rings while you're under a house, on a roof, covered in paint, elbow-deep in a drain — or with a client, mid-job, hands full in the back of the van. It goes to voicemail. They don't leave one. They call the next name on Google.
That call was worth $800.
How it works
Here's what happens instead.
Answers the call
"G'day, you've reached Tony's Electrics, this is Simone. How can I help you today?"
When you can't pick up, your Better Half does. Sounds like a real person. Gets their name, number, address, and what they need. Listen to the call, read the transcript, one tap to call them back and lock the job in — all on the one screen.
Books the job
Won the work? Tap the lead and book it straight into your diary. See your whole week at a glance. Directions to site in one tap. Your schedule lives on your phone — not on the kitchen table at 9pm.
Gets you paid
Job done? Send the invoice from your phone. They can pay by card online, or tap your phone to theirs and take payment on the spot. No chasing bank transfers. No "I'll pay you later."
Hear it
Hear it for yourself.
This is what your customers hear when they call and you can't answer.
"G'day, you've reached Tony's Electrics, this is Simone..."
Not a robot. Not a call centre in Manila.
An AI that sounds like someone who works there.
And people prefer it to voicemail.
The maths.
A plumber's average callout is $400–$1,200. Miss 3 calls a week, that's $6,000/month walking out the door.
Better Half costs less than one missed job.
Win one extra job a month and it pays for itself 4–12x over. Most customers tell us they win 3–5 extra jobs in their first month.
Simple pricing. No lock-in. No call limits.

"I picked up 6 extra jobs in my first month just from calls I would've missed. Pays for itself ten times over."
"My customers don't even know it's AI. They just think I finally hired someone."
"Set it up in the ute on the way to a job. Had my first enquiry before I got there."
Why we built this
Running a one-person business has always taken two.
One on the job.
One on the phone, the quote, the invoice, the chase.
Better Half is the half you didn’t have.
Questions? Yeah, we get a few.
Will my customers mind that it's AI?
Most won't. The ones who clock it don't usually mind — people prefer AI to voicemail. They got answered, their question handled, a follow-up text in their pocket. That beats 'leave a message after the beep' from the next name on Google. Better Half uses your business name, asks the right questions, and sounds like a real Australian receptionist.
Can I keep my number?
Yes. You set up call forwarding from your current number — when you can't answer, your Better Half picks up. Your number doesn't change. Your customers won't notice a thing.
Can I bail if it's not working out?
Cancel anytime in the app. No lock-in. No penalty. If you got a Better Half number, we'll help you move it to any carrier for free.
How fast can I be up and running?
Five minutes. Download the app, enter your details, set up call forwarding. Your phone's getting answered the same day.
What about all the spam?
Your Better Half answers every call — spam, wrong numbers, sales pitches, the lot. We tag the junk so you can swipe it away in one tap. Only real customer enquiries count toward your plan.
Do I need a laptop? (you don't)
No. Everything runs on your phone. That's the whole point.
Tap to Pay — does that really work?
Finish the job, open the invoice, and tap your phone to theirs. Payment taken on the spot — no card reader, no terminal, no "I'll transfer you later." Works on compatible iPhones and Android phones.
Will it work for what I do?
Any service business that takes phone calls — sparkies, plumbers, builders, cleaners, PTs, mobile groomers, beauty therapists, detailers, gardeners, you name it.
Where does my data live?
Your data is stored in Australia (Sydney). We don't sell it. We don't share it. It's yours.
