How it works

Set up in about 48 hours. You don't change your number, your phone or how you work.

STEP 1

Forward your missed calls

We give you a short code to divert calls you don't answer (or when you're busy) to your KookaDesk line. Your email and website form get connected too.

STEP 2

KookaDesk answers like a pro

It answers in your business name, says up front it's your AI assistant, asks the right questions – job, suburb, urgency, access – and texts the customer a link to send photos.

STEP 3

The job lands in your calendar

It books a time from your calendar and texts you a 3-line summary straight away. Real emergencies? It tells the caller what to do and alerts you instantly.

What it does

  • Answers missed and after-hours calls in your business name
  • Replies to new emails and website enquiries within a minute
  • Books quotes and call-outs into your calendar
  • Collects photos by SMS so you can quote faster
  • Filters out-of-area and spam enquiries
  • Follows up if a customer doesn't book

What it won't do

  • Pretend to be a human – it always says it's an AI assistant
  • Make up prices or promise arrival times you haven't approved
  • Give gas or safety advice beyond "get out and call the emergency line"
  • Send marketing messages to your customers without their consent
  • Lock you in – cancel any time with 30 days' notice

Don't take our word for it. Ring it.

Call our demo line and pretend you're a customer with a burst pipe or a blocked drain.

Questions plumbers ask

Will customers know they're talking to an AI?

Yes. KookaDesk always introduces itself as your business's AI assistant at the start of every call and never pretends to be a person. In our experience customers care far more about getting an answer straight away than about who answers.

Are calls recorded? Is that legal in NSW?

Calls may be recorded and transcribed so the details are accurate. The assistant tells every caller this at the start of the call and offers to take a message without recording if they'd prefer. Recordings are only used to run your service and are never published or used to train AI models. (Wording to be confirmed by our lawyer.)

What happens with emergencies like a burst pipe or a gas smell?

For a gas smell, the assistant tells the caller to leave the area, not to use switches or flames, and to call 000 or their gas distributor's emergency line – then alerts you immediately. For burst pipes it explains how to turn off the water at the meter and flags the job as urgent to you straight away (live transfer on the Pro plan).

Do I need a new phone number or new phone system?

No. You keep your number. You simply divert calls you don't answer (or when you're busy) to your KookaDesk line – it takes about two minutes.

Will it quote prices?

Only prices you've approved, such as your call-out fee. Otherwise it collects the details and photos so you can quote quickly.

What does the free trial include?

14 days and up to 100 call minutes on a KookaDesk number, plus email and form replies. No card needed. It switches off automatically at the end – you won't be charged unless you choose a plan.

Can I cancel?

Yes. No lock-in contracts – just give 30 days' notice. Your number always stays yours and we'll help you remove the call diversion.

Where is my customers' data stored?

We use reputable cloud platforms, some of which store data outside Australia. Details are in our Privacy Policy. We only use your customers' information to answer and book their enquiry.
