Cancel before day 7, no charge · Keep your own number · No lock-in · We set it all up for you
It's not practical to pick up during prep or spraying, and calls go to voicemail all day.
Customers often get three quotes. A fast, professional first reply puts you at the front of that line.
Ceilings, trims, doors, patching and colour changes all change the price. Capturing them early makes quoting faster.
Set up in about 48 hours. You don't change your number, your phone or how you work.
Set a short diversion code so calls you don't answer go to your KookaDesk line (how diversion works). We connect your email and website form too.
It says up front it's your AI assistant, asks your questions and only gives answers and prices you've approved.
It texts you a short summary with the customer's preferred times. Reply with a number to confirm – for example, Reply 1 for 2pm, 2 for 4pm. Once you confirm, the customer gets an SMS confirmation, and an email copy goes out for the record. No links to tap: just reply with a number. No calendar connection or software install needed – Google or Outlook sync is optional.
For older homes the assistant notes that paint may contain lead and flags the job so you can assess it – it doesn't give advice on removing old paint. It only quotes prices or rates you've approved, and never promises warranties or inclusions you don't offer.
The first few lines of a typical call for a made-up business. The assistant always says it's an AI.
Hi, you've reached Demo Painting Sydney. I'm Jo's AI assistant. This call may be recorded so we get the details right. Is it inside, outside or both?
Inside – the whole house before we sell.
Good timing. How many bedrooms is it, and are you thinking walls only, or ceilings and trims as well?
…the assistant takes the caller's name, mobile, suburb, access details and preferred times, then says: "I'll text the owner now, and you'll get an SMS to confirm the time shortly." The owner gets a summary and replies with a number to confirm (for example, Reply 1 for 2pm, 2 for 4pm). No links to tap: just reply with a number.
