An AI phone agent answers and makes business calls with conversational AI. Talkify's picks up from 0.4 seconds in a real New Zealand voice, answers the caller's questions, books the job into your live calendar, qualifies the lead into your CRM, and can ring your own customer list for the follow-ups nobody has time to make. $129/month at the founding rate for your first 3 months, then $199, no setup fee.
Not a chatbot with a phone number, and not an IVR menu. A phone agent holds the whole conversation and finishes the job, in both directions.
Picks up from 0.4 seconds, no hold music, no queue. Twelve callers at 8:01am on a Monday are all answered at 8:01am, in the same voice, with the same knowledge of your business.
Reads live availability from Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Calendly, Zenoti, GymMaster and MechanicDesk, locks the slot in, and texts confirmation both ways. New enquiries land in your CRM with the caller's details and a transcript.
Asks the questions you would ask: what the job is, where, how urgent, how they heard about you. The tyre-kicker gets a polite answer; the real job gets booked and the urgent one gets texted to your mobile within seconds.
The same agent calls your own customer list: appointment reminders, win-backs, review requests, event invites, overdue invoices. Every call analysed and reported, from 50c a minute. See outbound calls.
NZ providers publish a wide spread of monthly prices, and the cheap end and the dear end often hide the same things: setup fees, per-call charges, minute caps that bite in a busy week. Here is Talkify's, in plain numbers.
$129/month at the founding rate for your first 3 months, then $199 with 200 minutes of calls included, then from 10c a minute. No setup fee, no lock-in, cancel from your dashboard.
Campaign and follow-up calls from 50c a minute, cheaper as volume grows. No campaign fees, no minimums: a hundred reminder calls cost what the minutes cost.
We keep a dated, side-by-side table of what NZ providers publish, prices included, and we update it when they change. See the comparison.
Three laws matter when software answers or makes your calls. None of them stops you; all of them reward doing it properly.
Covers email and text, not voice calls, so there is no spam-act consent regime for ringing your own customers. Talkify campaigns call your list, not scraped numbers, and honour do-not-call requests automatically.
No misleading conduct: be straight about who is calling and why. Asked directly, a Talkify agent says it is an AI assistant for your business. It never pretends to be a person.
Caller information is personal information. Calls to +64 numbers are handled in New Zealand data centres, stored encrypted in region, and everything the agent collects is visible to you in your dashboard.
Slide for the number of agents you would run on your number (the plan includes up to 3), pick the integrations you'd connect, and see live what your monthly looks like. Most businesses start with one. No sign-up needed.
Broadcast fits most growing NZ businesses. One number carries up to 3 agents and three callers at once.
Includes 200 minutes a month, then 10c a minute (20c after your first 3 months). Each number includes 50 texts a month, then 10c each.
Want more than 3 agents on one number? Extra agents are $39 a month each.
Start with this plan →Most NZ providers sell inbound answering only. A phone agent that cannot ring out leaves the reminders, the win-backs and the overdue invoices exactly where they are now: on your list. Here is what each provider publishes.

A dash means the provider does not publish that service on their own website, not that they refuse to do it. Taken from each provider's public pages in August 2026. Waboom, CallKyzen, Automate AI and EnvokeAI all publish outbound calling; AI for Trades states it is inbound only. Spotted something out of date? Email [email protected] and we will correct it.
The questions we hear most. If yours isn't here, ring our live demo agent on 03 242 1262, it'll either answer or queue a callback from a human.
The inbound half in full: greeting, booking, transfers and message-taking, 24/7.
