Talkify answers your business phone 24/7 in a real Kiwi voice. It greets callers in your tone, answers their questions, qualifies leads, books straight into your calendar, and escalates to a human when it should. The phone is the last unsolved interface, and this is a voice operating system sitting across it. It works while you don't.
Each Talkify agent ships with its own persona, knowledge base, calendar bindings and escalation rules. Run one, or run the set: they share a dashboard, and every call lands in the same place.
Answers the business line
Greets, qualifies, books the job and escalates what cannot wait, exactly how you would train a good receptionist. Then does it at 3am on a public holiday.
We are, eight till two. I can get someone out to you at nine, what is the address?
From $129/mo See the reception agent →Screens your own mobile
Stands between you and the ninety calls a week that are not worth your time. Screens by your rules, remembers everyone who has ever rung, and texts you the two that need you.
She is on site till three, Marcus. I will get her to call you straight after.
From $89/mo See the personal assistant →Keeps the diary
Reads your live availability before it speaks, so every time it offers is a time that exists. Books, moves and cancels without ever double-booking you.
Yep, no trouble. Same time on the fourteenth? I will text you the new booking.
From $129/mo See the booking agent →Answers on the account
Connected to your Xero, it knows the caller from your contacts and can say what is outstanding and how much has gone overdue. It will not discuss an account with a number it does not recognise.
You are sitting at $1,240, and $380 of that went overdue on Tuesday.
Add-on $10/mo See overdue invoice calls →Works the enquiry
Every enquiry gets the same pitch, the same questions and the same follow-through, whether it lands at 9am or 9pm. Scores the lead while the conversation is still happening.
How many calls a week are you missing at the moment?
From $129/mo See the sales agent →The agent answers your business line, works out what the caller needs, checks what is actually free, and writes the job into the software your team already opens every morning. Not a message to action later: the booking, made.
Forward your existing number and it is live. No port-out, no hardware, and reversible the moment you want it back.

Most AI answering services sold in New Zealand are overseas platforms with a local logo. Talkify runs on our own local SIP network, keeps data in New Zealand and Australian data centres, and answers in voices your callers actually recognise. That changes how every call sounds, and where every recording lives.
Our own agent answers this line, around the clock. No form, no sales call, no card. Listen for the accent, interrupt it, ask it something awkward.
Flat NZD pricing, published on the site. No setup fee. No lock-in. Built in Ōtautahi Christchurch and operated by Talkify Limited.
We run our own local SIP carrier network, so your calls connect close to home. Less lag, no talking over each other, and the clear, close sound of a local call.
A full range of Kiwi and Aussie voices, not an American accent doing its best. Callers relax when the voice sounds like them, and relaxed callers book.
Regional phone numbers across New Zealand and Australia, so a Christchurch caller rings 03 and an Auckland caller rings 09. Local numbers get answered; unknown ones get screened.
For data sovereignty, everything is stored in New Zealand and Australian data centres: recordings, transcripts and customer details held close to home under local privacy law.
Full outbound service, not just answering. Your agents confirm bookings, chase missing details and run marketing call campaigns, with every conversation transcribed.
Load a contact list and the agent rings through it, asks your questions, and hands back transcripts with the answers extracted and analysed. Offers, follow-ups or a straight survey, at a scale no clipboard reaches.
One agent or a whole fleet answering unlimited simultaneous calls. Overflow, after-hours or the entire front line, with warm transfer to a human whenever it matters.
Calendars, CRMs like HubSpot and GoHighLevel, gym platforms, WhatsApp and SMS, plus Zapier and a full REST API when you want to wire up something custom.
No DIY prompt wrangling. We build your agent around your business, brief it on your services and pricing, tune it with you, and keep tuning after you're live.
Native apps for iPhone and Android push you each call summary the moment it ends: who rang, what they wanted, what the agent did about it.
Full transcripts, sentiment, outcomes and intent on every call, rolled into dashboards that show what your callers actually want, not just how many rang.
Most of our customers start here. The PA agent is the answer to "I can't afford a receptionist, but I can't afford to miss another call either." It learns your callers, screens by importance, takes structured messages, and texts you only what matters.
$89 a month, flat. No setup fee, no lock-in. The PA answers your own mobile or landline; for a business line with a 24/7 AI receptionist, business agents are $129 a month, or from $10 plus $1 a minute on pay as you go.

"Thanks Talkify, love the AI Assistant phone service since we have implemented it at SUB10 to take the pressure off our reception staff and after hours phone handling. Its ability to answer most members and prospects questions has been a real game changer and most don't even know its AI, even though the voice states it is! Thank you!"
"Awesome! I'm so busy with my little tech support business I've been waiting so long for something like this to at least answer my calls when I'm onsite or with a customer, which is all day as per bookings etc, now instead of a missed call they can at least talk to someone and pass on their info plus how urgent it is, then I can filter through asap after my jobs are done and get back to people already knowing the problem, contact details, address and urgency level already. My customers love it! So far most of them do not know if she's real or not, it's amazing."
"Talkify Delivers! Highly Recommended. As a busy motorhome and caravan dealership, missing customer calls simply isn't an option. For years, we used traditional answering services, but the costs kept increasing while the service remained much the same. We knew there had to be a better way. Before Talkify, we tried another AI phone agent provider, but when Talkify came looking for a caravan for the family and reached out, we decided to give them a chance. We're glad we did. After several months of using Talkify AI Phone Agents, we can honestly say the system has exceeded our expectations. The AI handles customer enquiries professionally, captures leads effectively, and ensures our customers always have someone available to speak with. It has helped streamline our operations while reducing costs at the same time. What really impressed us, however, wasn't just the technology. In a world where many companies disappear after making the sale, Talkify is the complete opposite. Whether it's during business hours, after hours, or on weekends, they're always available to help. If we leave a message, we usually hear back within 8 minutes. That kind of service is almost unheard of these days. More importantly, they genuinely care about helping businesses succeed, constantly coming up with ideas, improvements, and solutions that go beyond the AI receptionist itself. Rather than simply selling software, they become part of your team and work with you to improve your customer experience and business processes. Talkify has become an important part of our operation today, and the support we receive is second to none. If you're considering a receptionist or phone answering solution, seriously stop looking."
"Amazing agent. Very good with natural conversation and accurate. Dictates the information back to make sure it gets everything correct."
"Highly Recommended, Outstanding AI Phone Agent Service. For more than 19 years, we relied on traditional answering services to manage our customer calls. However, with rising operating costs and continual price increases from traditional providers, we knew it was time to look for a smarter and more cost-effective solution. Before Talkify, we worked with another AI phone agent company. When Talkify approached us, we decided to give this local company an opportunity. Looking back, it has been one of the best business decisions we've made. We have now been using Talkify AI Phone Agents for around two months, and the results have been outstanding. Their technology, reliability, and overall performance have exceeded our expectations. The AI handles our calls professionally and consistently, helping us improve customer service while significantly reducing our monthly costs. However, great technology is only part of the equation. What truly sets Talkify apart is the exceptional support. No matter what time we contact them, they are always willing to help. If they miss a call, they typically get back to us within 10 to 15 minutes. That level of responsiveness and commitment is extremely rare these days. More importantly, they don't just provide support for the existing system. They are constantly looking for ways to improve our business operations and often come up with new ideas and solutions that add real value. It feels like having a technology partner rather than just another service provider."
