Big companies get receptionists.
Why not you?

Apprentice gives you the receptionist — without the wages, the office, or the headache.A receptionist runs about $65,000 a year. Apprentice starts at $249 a month — and one missed job costs more than two months of it.

Here's how

Every call answered · Every text handled

Never get interrupted

Apprentice responds to every "quick question" and "when can you come" — 24/7, in under a minute. While you're on the tools, with family, or just living your life, it keeps clients moving and books the jobs you want.

Animated demo: incoming client texts get replied to, quoted, and booked while you work.

Keep your number.
Clients call the same number they always have — Apprentice picks up whenever you can't. Switching it on or off takes seconds from your own phone: no apps, no new number, nothing to install. Texts run through Apprentice's own line, introduced to every caller as your offsider.
Sounds like you, not a call centre.
Trained on your style, your rules, your way of speaking — natural Aussie voice on the phone, your tone over text.
Handles the back-and-forth.
Every clarification, reschedule, and "just checking" gets answered properly — you see the whole thread in your dashboard whenever you want.

It never guesses

When it's not sure, it asks you

The question every tradie asks about AI: what happens when it doesn't know? Simple — it doesn't bluff. Apprentice texts you the question, tells the client it's checking with the boss, and picks the thread back up the moment you answer. It learns, so it never asks twice.

Animated demo: when Apprentice doesn't know an answer it texts you the question, you reply in a word, and it takes the conversation from there.

One text to answer.
"Still $1,850 for a switchboard?" — reply "yep" and Apprentice takes it from there.
Escalates the serious stuff.
Emergencies, angry clients, anything outside its rules — flagged to you immediately, drafts held until you say so.
You can take over any time.
Jump into any conversation from your phone; Apprentice steps back the moment you type.

Your calendar fills itself

No more chasing clients

No more phone tag about availability. No more "What times work for you?" texts that drag on for days. Apprentice talks to your clients, locks in jobs, and puts them straight into your calendar — only when you're actually available.

Animated demo: jobs and personal time slot into your calendar without clashes.

Only books when you're free.
We know your schedule and availability, so you never get double-booked or interrupted during personal time.
Adjusts as your life changes.
Kids get sick, jobs run long, plans change — just update your availability and Apprentice adapts instantly.
Works with Google Calendar.
Jobs appear automatically, reminders go out the arvo before.

Quotes done for you

Never write another quote

Tired of typing the same thing over and over? Set your pricing once, and never quote again. No more staying up late writing quotes. No more losing jobs because you forgot to reply. Apprentice gathers the details, creates professional quotes, and sends them instantly.

Animated demo: a quote is itemised, totalled, and sent to the client automatically.

Uses your exact pricing.
Set your rates, terms, and conditions once — Apprentice quotes using your numbers, your rules, every time.
Itemised clearly, by text.
Every quote arrives as a plain, itemised message — the work, your numbers, your terms. Nothing to open, nothing to install.
Follows up automatically.
If clients don't respond, Apprentice sends perfectly timed follow-ups so you never have to chase quotes.

The Protected Time Pilot

Done for you in 7 days.
Watched like a hawk for 21.

We only take 5 Perth clients each month — because Apprentice is set up for you, tested on your rules, and personally monitored until it's earned your trust. That takes our time, so we keep it small.
