A call centre without the call centre

Talkify AI Call Centre plans answer 5, 10 or 15 calls at the same moment in real NZ voices. From $399 a month, with no queue, no hold music and no offshore floor.

Five office headsets hanging unused on a rack while one phone glows with the Talkify blue to green gradient, quietly answering every call.

It is Monday, 9am. You put your prices up over the weekend, or the weather turned, or your ad finally worked. Forty one people ring before morning tea. A staffed phone team answers them one at a time. Everyone else sits in a queue listening to a recorded voice claim their call is important.

Today we are launching a different way to do it. Talkify AI Call Centre plans answer 5, 10 or 15 calls at the same moment, every one of them picked up in under a second, in a real NZ voice. Nobody queues. Nobody hears hold music. Nobody gives up and rings your competitor.

Priced by lines, not by seats

A call centre normally scales by hiring. Ours scales by a number on a plan. Pick how many calls you need answered at the same moment:

PlanSimultaneous callsPrice
5 lines5 at once$399/month
10 lines10 at once$599/month
15 lines15 at once$799/month

Every plan is the full platform. Call minutes are billed from 10c a minute on top, there is no setup fee, no per seat licence and no lock in. If a launch outgrows your tier, you move up a plan instead of running a recruitment round.

The length of your hold queue on every Talkify plan, at 9am on price rise Monday and at 3am on a public holiday. Every line picks up in under a second.

What the agents actually do

  • Answer every line instantly, 24/7, in real NZ and Australian voices
  • Resolve the routine majority: hours, pricing, order status, bookings, reschedules
  • Book appointments straight into your calendar or booking system
  • Escalate complaints, VIPs and emergencies to your team by warm transfer or text, with the caller's name, number and the story so far
  • Make outbound calls from the same platform: reminders, win backs, review requests and surveys
  • Record, transcribe and summarise every single call, searchable in your dashboard

The honest cost comparison

One full time NZ call centre agent costs roughly $50,000 to $60,000 a year before KiwiSaver, ACC and leave, answers one call at a time, and works about 40 hours a week. An outsourced bureau typically charges $1 to $2.50 a minute, reads from a script across many clients, and reviews a handful of calls a month for quality.

The 15 line Talkify plan runs fifteen conversations at once, around the clock, for $799 a month, and you can read the transcript of every call it has ever taken. That is 100 percent quality coverage, not a sample.

Fifteen conversations at the same moment, around the clock, for less than one week of one agent's wages. And every word of it transcribed.
