Inbound voice · Aotearoa New Zealand · Operating since 2024

The phone is the last unsolved interface.

Talkify is a voice operating system sitting between your callers and your business. It answers in your tone, qualifies leads, books into your calendar, and escalates to a human when it should. It works while you don't.

Agents tuned to your frequency.

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.

The front door that never closes.

Greets, qualifies, books and escalates, exactly how you would train a good receptionist. Then does it at 3am on a public holiday.

CallerAre you open Saturday? I've got water coming through the ceiling.
ReceptionWe are, eight till two. I can get someone out to you at nine, what's the address?
From $129/mo Answers 24/7
  • Answers from 0.4 seconds, and answers every caller at once, so an engaged tone is not possible
  • Greets by your script and answers your own FAQs, not a generic bot menu
  • Books straight into your calendar and texts the confirmation before the caller hangs up
  • Warm-transfers the urgent ones, or texts your mobile with the number and the gist

A second brain on every line.

For people whose phone is the problem. It stands between you and the ninety calls a week that are not worth your time.

CallerIs Ana about? It's Marcus, from the Fletcher job.
Personal AssistantShe's on site till three, Marcus. I'll get her to call you straight after, is this the best number?
From $89/mo Caller memory unlimited
  • Screens every caller and decides, by your rules, who is worth putting through
  • Remembers everyone who has ever rung, so regulars never start from scratch
  • Takes proper messages and books your meetings without asking you first
  • Sends the 5pm digest: who rang, what they wanted, and the two that need you
See the personal assistant

Calendar-native by design.

It reads your live availability before it opens its mouth, so the slots it offers are slots that exist.

CallerAny chance of pushing Thursday out to the week after?
Booking ServiceYep, no trouble. Same time on the fourteenth? I'll text you the new booking.
From $129/mo Calendars 6
  • Reads live availability, so it never offers a time that has gone
  • Books, reschedules and cancels without ever double-booking you
  • Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Calendly, Zenoti, GymMaster and MechanicDesk, plus HubSpot and GoHighLevel
  • Confirms by text, then reminds them the day before so they turn up
See the booking agent

Knows the account before you say hello.

Connected to your Xero, it recognises the caller from your contacts and can answer what they owe, so the accounts inbox stops fielding the same question.

CallerMorning, I'm just after what's outstanding on our account.
AccountsNo problem, Mr Kepa. You're sitting at $1,240, and $380 of that went overdue on Tuesday.
Add-on $10/mo Xero writes notes only
  • Recognises the caller from your Xero contacts and greets them by name
  • Answers what is outstanding, and how much of it is overdue, as totals or invoice by invoice
  • Will not discuss an account with a number that is not one of your contacts, and will not take an invoice number as proof of who someone is
  • Rings the overdue accounts too, and writes the outcome and any promise to pay onto the invoice
See the Xero integration

Closes warm, qualifies cold.

Every enquiry gets the same pitch, the same questions and the same follow-through, whether it lands at 9am or 9pm.

CallerWhat would something like this run us across three sites?
Sales AgentThree changes it a bit, so I'd rather get you a real number than guess. How many calls a week are you missing at the moment?
From $129/mo Lead scoring per call
  • Walks inbound prospects through your pitch and answers the objections you brief it on
  • Captures intent and scores the lead while the conversation is still happening
  • Writes the contact into GoHighLevel or HubSpot with the recording attached
  • Flags the hot ones to you while they are still interested, not the next morning

A personal assistant

at $89 a month.

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 start at $129.

The Talkify difference

Built here.
Not badged here.

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.

Judge it yourself 03 242 1183

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.

"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."

"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."

Frequently asked.

Nine of the questions we hear most. If yours isn't here, ring our live demo agent on 03 242 1183, it'll either answer or queue a callback from a human.

What is an AI Phone Agent?
An AI Phone Agent is a voice-powered AI that answers your business calls 24/7. It sounds natural and human-like, can answer questions about your business, book appointments, qualify leads, and forward messages via SMS or email. Think of it as a virtual receptionist that never sleeps.
How does Talkify work with my existing phone number?
Talkify works via call forwarding. You set up your existing business number to forward to your Talkify number when you can't answer (busy, after-hours, or always). No hardware changes, no number porting, no IT project.
Can the AI agent book appointments into my calendar?
Yes. Talkify books into Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Calendly, Zenoti, GymMaster and MechanicDesk, and syncs contacts and outcomes to HubSpot and GoHighLevel. Other systems can be wired up on a custom setup. The agent checks live availability, books, reschedules, and texts confirmation to the caller automatically.
How much does Talkify cost?
Business agents are on the Broadcast plan: $129/month at the founding rate for your first 3 months, then $199. The Personal Assistant (Shortwave) is different: it answers one person's own mobile or landline, not a business, and is $89/month. Fleet is custom-priced for multi-location and contact-centre operators. Shortwave includes 50 minutes a month and Broadcast 100; extra minutes are 10c each for your first 3 months, then 20c. The first 20 texts every month are free, then 10c each. No setup fee, no lock-in.
Does the AI sound robotic?
Not at all. Talkify uses state-of-the-art voice AI that sounds remarkably natural. Most callers don't realise they're speaking with an AI. You can choose from 32 voices, clone your own voice (Broadcast/Fleet plans), and tune the tone (corporate, warm, playful) to match your brand.
What languages does Talkify support?
Talkify handles 32 languages out of the box including English (NZ, AU, US, GB), te reo Māori, Mandarin, Spanish, Hindi, Japanese, German and French. Agents detect the caller's language and switch on the fly, useful for New Zealand's diverse customer base.
Can I train the AI on my specific business information?
Absolutely. Drop in your services, hours, pricing, FAQs and escalation rules and the agent learns it all. The dashboard ships a live prompt editor, tweak any wording, escalation rule or opening hour and it goes live in seconds.
Where is my data stored?
All audio, transcripts and call metadata are stored in NZ data centres, encrypted at rest with AES-256. Detailed compliance documentation available on request. Built for operators (legal, accounting, healthcare) where data residency matters.
Is there a free trial or demo?
Yes, three ways. Ring us on 03 242 1183 any time and one of our own agents answers, so you can hear exactly how it handles a real caller. Click the chat widget on this page to talk to Talky right now. Or sign up at the form below and we'll wire up a dedicated demo number for your business, no card needed.
