Hands in the switchboard. Phone still answered.

Built for sparkies and small electrical crews. Talkify hears the difference between "power's out everywhere" and "can you quote three downlights", texts you the urgent ones in seconds, and books the rest straight into your calendar while you stay on the tools.

It knows a live fault
from a light fitting.

Use the electrical defaults out of the box or train it on your own escalation rules. Urgent faults reach you in seconds, quotes and routine work get handled without you downing tools.

Fault keyword detection.

Power out, RCD won't reset, breaker tripping, burning smell, sparking socket, water near power, exposed wiring. The agent recognises the language and pings you instantly. The caller hears help is coming, not "leave a message".

SMS to your mobile.

Address, callback number, urgency and the gist of the fault, texted to you in under fifteen seconds. Ring the customer back in two taps from the van.

Jobs into your calendar.

Routine work booked straight into Google Calendar, Outlook or Calendly at the next free slot, with the job written into HubSpot or GoHighLevel.

Ballpark quotes.

Standard prices quoted on the call: downlights, switchboard upgrades, EV charger install, call-out fee. Bespoke work flagged for callback.

Knows your service area.

Politely declines callers outside your patch, so you never burn an hour driving to a job you'd never have taken.

A day on the tools.

How the agent handles a real day for a two-van electrical outfit in Christchurch.

Caller · 7:14amWhole house has no power and the RCD won't reset. Can someone come today?
TalkifyThat needs someone today. I've flagged it urgent and texted Mike your address and number, he'll call you back within the next few minutes. Don't touch the board in the meantime.
Caller · 10:38amHow much to put in an EV charger?
TalkifyA standard 7kW wall charger install usually runs $1,400 to $1,900 depending on your switchboard. Want me to book a free site check Thursday afternoon so we can firm that up?
Caller · 6:52pmNeed an electrician in Rangiora sometime next week for some new sockets.
TalkifyWe cover Rangiora. Tuesday 9am or Wednesday 1pm are free, which suits? I'll text you a confirmation as soon as it's booked.

The fault written into the job system you run.

Sparkies do not stop mid-board to type a job in. The agent takes the fault, the site and the access details on the call and writes them where your work already lives. Fergus is proven and in daily use. Simpro, iTrade and Tradify are early access: built and tested, and we set those up with you.

01 Fergus The enquiry written in with the fault, the site address and the call notes attached to the customer, the diary read so the agent can say when someone is coming, and the visit booked itself once you turn that on. Books visits→ 02 Simpro Built for the contractor side: the commercial contact recognised on the way in, the lead written in against its customer and site, quote requests raised, and the visit scheduled against a sparky who is actually free. Books visits · early access→ 03 iTrade Callers matched to your iTrade customers and greeted by name, the job lodged with the dead circuit described the way they described it, and a visit requested while they are still on the phone. Lodges jobs · early access→
04 Tradify New enquiries land in your Tradify Enquiries inbox with the name, the number and what has stopped working, ready to become a job. Enquiries in · early access
05 Google Calendar Switchboard upgrades and quote visits booked into the real diary at the next free slot, never on top of a job already there. Reads and books
06 Microsoft 365 & Outlook Same again for firms on Microsoft 365: the Outlook diary read before a time is offered, the appointment written back, a Teams link where the quote is happening on video. Reads and books→ 07 Trello Every new lead lands on the board as a card carrying the caller, the summary and the full transcript, so the office can pick it up without listening to anything.

Frequently asked.

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.

Will my customers know they're talking to an AI?
Most callers don't pick it. Talkify uses natural voice AI with a Kiwi accent option, and it never pretends to be you. It answers as your business, takes the details a good receptionist would, and texts you the summary. Callers get a real conversation instead of voicemail, which is why they stay on the line.
What happens when someone rings with a genuine electrical emergency?
The agent listens for urgent language from the first sentence: power out, RCD or breaker tripping, burning smell, sparking outlet, exposed wiring, water near power. The moment it hears one, it texts your mobile with the address, callback number and a one-line summary, usually within 12 seconds. Routine work never interrupts you; urgent work always does.
Does it work with the job software I already use?
Booked jobs flow into Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Calendly, Zenoti, GymMaster and MechanicDesk, and into HubSpot or GoHighLevel if that is where your pipeline lives. Anything else can be wired up through our REST API, webhooks or Zapier, or as a custom setup. The caller picks a slot, the job lands where you work, and you find out by text. No double entry.
How does it answer my existing number?
Call forwarding. Point your existing mobile or landline at your Talkify number when you're busy, after hours, or always. No new hardware, no number porting, live in minutes. Turn it off any time from your phone.
How much does it cost for a one-person electrical business?
A business agent is $129/month at the founding rate, normally $199. That includes 200 minutes of calls; extra minutes are 10c. There's no setup fee and no lock-in. Compare that with the margin lost every time a job rings through to voicemail and dials the next sparkie on Google.
Where do the call recordings and transcripts live?
In New Zealand. Audio, transcripts and call metadata are stored in NZ data centres, encrypted at rest. Built to respect the NZ Privacy Act, with compliance documentation available if you need it for commercial contracts.
Does it work with Fergus, Simpro, iTrade or Tradify?
All four. Fergus and Simpro get the enquiry written in against the customer and the site, and book the visit itself once you switch that on. iTrade lodges the job and requests a visit rather than confirming a time. Tradify takes the enquiry into your Enquiries inbox. Fergus is proven and in daily use on sparky phones; Simpro, iTrade and Tradify are early access, so we set those up with you. Google Calendar, Outlook, Calendly, HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Trello and Xero are connected as standard.
