You don't need to understand AI to start using it. Try it free for 7 days.

You get the AI Receptionist free for 7 days, with 30 call minutes and no credit card. It is for businesses with a working website, and there is one free trial per business: we check every request before a receptionist is set up. Enter your website, confirm the details it finds, answer a few questions and verify your email with the link we send — you have 72 hours after creating your account to verify your email and submit your details. Your receptionist is ready by the next business day after that, and your 7 days start when we notify you it is ready, not when you sign up. Your own test calls count towards the 30 minutes, and each call is counted in whole minutes. Calls stop being answered when the 30 minutes or the 7 days run out, whichever comes first. Nothing is charged at any point: you pay NZ$99 a month only if you choose to subscribe. The trial is the AI Receptionist only; AI Office Manager is a separate paid plan.

On the phone, most will work it out quickly. It does not pretend to be a named person and it will say it is an assistant if asked directly. What customers consistently care about more is that somebody picked up at all, and that the answer was right.

Not for your calls. You forward the number you already advertise and it answers there, so nothing on your van, your signage or your Google listing has to change. Texts go out from a messaging number that comes with your account, because New Zealand carriers will not let one local number do both.

Not yet, and that is the honest answer rather than a roadmap deflection. BossAI raises GST-correct tax invoices and tracks what is paid, but reconciliation back into your accounting software is manual today. If your bookkeeping cannot absorb re-entering what BossAI invoices, this is the thing that will annoy you — decide that before you start, not after.

Not currently. BossAI has its own booking calendar and the AI books into that. If your staff already depend on a booking system, that is a real conflict: running two calendars is worse than running one badly. You can subscribe Google, Apple or Outlook to the BossAI calendar so the bookings show up alongside everything else, but that is a read-only feed, not a two-way sync.

Two plans, both priced on this page and both month to month: AI Receptionist at NZ$99 and AI Office Manager at NZ$249. You pay by card and cancel whenever you like. There is no quote, no scoping call and no minimum term. Receptionist includes 100 call minutes a month and Office Manager 330; minutes over that are 60 cents each on both, so the cheaper plan is not the one with the dearer overage. The free trial is separate: it never charges anything, and you only pay if you choose to subscribe. There is no GST on top of that: we are not yet GST-registered, so none is charged. When we are, the price stays the same and includes it.

That is deliberate — the setup is questions you answer yourself, so there is nobody to wait on. If something is genuinely wrong, email us and a person answers. What we do not do is a sales call, because nothing about this needs one.
