Op3ro AI Reception

An AI receptionist that actually knows your business.

Because it isn’t bolted onto your job system through an integration. It is your job system.

  • Answers every call, day or night, in your business name
  • Reads the same database as your schedule, quotes and invoices
  • Books into a real slot — it doesn’t request one and hope
  • Refuses what you tell it to refuse, and hands to a human on request

Want to see it actually working? We'll send you a walkthrough of the real system running our $5M landscaping business — quoting a job, rostering the week, capturing receipts on site. No slides.

Op3ro AI Reception

What can your receptionist actually see?

Anyone can put a voice AI on a phone number. The difference is what sits behind it — an integration that syncs a thin slice of the customer record, or the database the schedule and the quotes already live in.

A bolt-on receptionist

Sits on another platform, connected by an integration

  • Caller’s name and number, if the sync ran
  • Whether they have an open job
  • The SMS thread from Tuesday
  • The quote you sent last week, and whether they opened it
  • The invoice that’s twelve days overdue
  • Where the crew is right now
  • What was done on the last visit
  • Real availability — it can only request a booking

It can take a message. That’s about it.

Op3ro AI Reception

Same system as everything else — no integration in between

  • Every call, SMS and email with that client, going back
  • The open quote, when it was sent, whether it was opened
  • Invoice and payment status
  • Live crew location and ETA
  • Full service history against the property
  • The actual schedule — so it books, it doesn’t request
  • Job notes, photos and access instructions

It answers like someone who works there.

This isn’t a better model. It’s the same model with access to your business.

A live call

It already knows why they’re ringing.

This is a call in progress. Nothing in it was looked up through an integration — it is all the same database the crew works from.

Caller

Hi, it’s ——— from Ocean Street.

Op3ro AI

Hi — good to hear from you. I can see you’re on the fortnightly garden maintenance and you’re next booked for Thursday morning. There’s also a quote we sent last Tuesday for the retaining wall that’s still open. What can I help with?

Caller

It’s about the retaining wall — any chance you can do it cheaper?

Op3ro AI

I can’t change pricing myself, but I’ll flag it for Pat and have him call you back today. I’ve made a note against that quote so he’s got the context.

Guardrails

You decide what it’s allowed to say.

Every rule is a setting, not a prompt you hope it follows. It refuses inside the call and tells the customer a human will come back to them.

  • Discuss an overdue invoiceOn, politely
  • Escalate to a human on requestAlways on

Most businesses turn pricing off and booking on. The point is that it’s your call, not the model’s.

Why it matters

Missed calls are the cheapest money you’re leaving behind.

The first two figures are widely cited industry estimates, not our own measurements. The only numbers we present as ours are the ones from Flawless Gardens.

What it costs

A person on $80 an hour, or about two dollars a call.

Move the two numbers to your own. The person only answers while they are rostered on. Op3ro answers all of it, including the 6pm Friday call.

And the part no roster fixes: the calls that come in while the person is at lunch, on another line, or gone home.

Every call still gets picked up, logged against the client and turned into the job that follows it.

FAQ

What people ask before they switch the number over

Does it sound robotic?

No, and you can hear it before you commit to anything. It speaks in a natural voice with normal pacing and interruptions handled, and it stops talking the moment the caller starts. If a call goes sideways, a human joins mid-sentence.

Can it handle Australian accents and trade terminology?

Yes. It runs against your own service catalogue, so it already knows what a Colorbond capping or a level three authorisation is because those are the words in your system. Accents are handled at the speech layer and we tune it on your real calls in the first fortnight.

What happens if it doesn’t know something?

It says so, takes the detail and creates a callback task against the client with a transcript attached. It does not guess and it never invents a price. Not knowing something and saying so is the behaviour we tune for.

Can we use our existing number?

Yes — it ports or forwards. Most businesses forward the existing number so nothing on their signage, vehicles or Google listing has to change.

What if we want it only after hours?

That is a schedule setting. Plenty of businesses run it from 5pm to 7am plus weekends, then hand daytime calls to their own person. You can also have it pick up only when nobody answers within four rings.

How it starts

Hear it answer your own calls first.

The audit maps where calls are being lost and what they were worth, then we run Reception on a forwarded number so you can listen to real calls before anything changes.
