AI receptionist for Australian businesses

Every call answered.
Even when you can’t.

You're with a client, on the tools or asleep when the phone rings. Frontdesk picks up, answers from what it knows about your business and gets the caller's name, number and what they need. If it can't wait, you get a text.

Hear it for yourself

Ring Frontdesk. Ask it anything.

The demo line is Frontdesk answering for Frontdesk. It knows our pricing, our setup and how it works. Ask it to have Keith call you back and watch the message land.

Try asking:

  • “What does Frontdesk cost?”
  • “Can it book appointments?”
  • “What happens after hours?”
  • “Have Keith call me back”
  • “How long does setup take?”
  • “Is my data kept in Australia?”

How it works

We set it up. It answers the phone.

We build what Frontdesk knows from your website and documents, so there's very little for you to do.

  1. We learn your business

    We build the knowledge base from your website and documents, and write your common answers with you.

  2. Callers get an instant answer

    Frontdesk picks up in seconds. No hold music and no phone tree.

  3. Messages land in your inbox

    Every call becomes a tidy message: who called, how to reach them, what they need.

  4. Urgent ones text you

    Anything urgent is on your mobile within seconds, with a link to the full call.

What it does

    Every message in one place, with the call transcript beside it.

  • Urgent SMS alerts

    Urgent calls are texted to your mobile in seconds.

  • Calendar booking

    Books straight into Google Calendar or Microsoft 365.

  • After-hours cover

    Nights, weekends and public holidays. It never clocks off.

Who it's for

Made for businesses that live on the phone.

  • Law

FAQ

Fair questions.

Does it sound like a robot?

No. It speaks in a natural Australian voice and answers straight away, without the awkward pause. If a caller asks, it says it's an AI receptionist. Ring the demo line and judge for yourself.

What if it can't answer a question?

It won't make things up. It says it will find out, takes the caller's details and puts the question in your inbox. If it's urgent, you get a text.

Can it transfer calls to my team?

Yes, on Growth (up to three destinations) and Practice (unlimited). It tells your colleague who is calling and why before it connects them. Starter takes messages only.

What happens after hours?

Frontdesk answers 24/7. After hours it takes messages as usual and texts you straight away when something is urgent.

Can I keep my existing number?

Yes. Your number stays yours. You forward it to your Frontdesk line, all the time or only when you're busy or closed.

What happens when my minutes run out?

Calls keep being answered. Extra minutes are billed at your plan's overage rate, or you can buy a pack of 250 minutes for $125.

Is my data safe?

Your messages and transcripts sit in your own private account, and only your team can sign in to it. Frontdesk never takes card details over the phone. Ask us for our data-handling notes before you sign up.

How do I cancel?

Sign in and cancel your plan. It's one button, you don't have to talk to anyone and there's no exit fee. Frontdesk keeps answering until the end of the month you've paid for, and you can change your mind until then.

Stop missing calls.

Ring the demo line and put it through its paces. If you like what you hear, book a 20-minute walkthrough and we'll set it up around your business.
