Cheaper than a part-timer. Available at 2am.
One job at a time. You start with a single agent, and you only hand over the next thing when the first one has earned it. Two fees and no others: a one-off build fee, then the monthly below that keeps it running properly. Australian dollars excluding GST, month to month, thirty days' notice.
One job
The job you'd hand over tomorrow. Most people start here and stay here a while.
- One agent running one process
- Build fee quoted before any work starts
- Built around your systems, your prices, your wording
- Connected to what you already use — no new software
- Escalation to you on anything urgent or unusual
- Watched every week, tuned every month — see below
- Month to month, thirty days' notice
Two jobs
Once the first agent is pulling its weight and there's an obvious second one. Discounted on the monthly, not on the build.
- Two agents, each with its own build fee
- The two agents share what they know about a customer
- One monthly review across both
- Still month to month, still thirty days' notice
More than that
Several processes, or something that touches the whole business. Scoped and priced on the call — sometimes the answer is that it's too early.
- Scoped on the call, priced before anything starts
- Written documentation you own outright
- Take it in-house whenever you want
All prices in AUD, excluding GST.
Every agent has a build fee. Each one is built around a different process, so each carries a one-off build fee on top of its monthly, quoted before work starts. Beyond that there are no other fees — no licences, no per-message charges, no surprise invoice in month three. What the agent costs to run is ours to carry, not a line on your bill.
Not ready to hand over a whole job? House Voice is the smaller one — a written style guide from $950, or $450 a month to run your drafts through it, so what you publish stops sounding like everyone else's AI.
An agent left alone gets worse.
Your prices change. You add a service, drop a suburb, get busy in a season you weren't last year. A customer asks something in a way nobody predicted. An agent set up once and abandoned drifts out of step with the business within a couple of months — that's the failure mode of every "set and forget" tool you've already bought.
The monthly fee is what stops that happening. It isn't a hosting charge.
We read what it did
Every week, a look through the conversations it handled and the ones it passed to you. Anything it fumbled gets fixed before it becomes a pattern.
We tune what it says
Questions it answered awkwardly get rewritten. Questions it should have escalated get moved to the escalate list, and vice versa.
We keep it current
New prices, changed hours, a service you've dropped, a suburb you've added. Tell us once and it's reflected everywhere the agent speaks.
You see the numbers
A monthly note: what came in, what it handled, what it passed you, what it booked. Twenty minutes of your attention, and you can see whether it's earning its keep.
If it stops earning its keep, that will be visible in those numbers before it's visible in your bank account — and thirty days' notice is all it takes to stop.
What a part-timer actually costs
It's the calculation you're already doing in your head, so here it is with the numbers filled in.
An agent isn't a replacement for a good person. It's a replacement for the two hours of your own evening that the job currently takes — and it doesn't go quiet when everyone's flat out.
Before you book
What if it doesn't work?
You give thirty days' notice and you're out. There's nothing to unwind — it runs inside your systems, so when it stops, things simply go back to how they were.
Do I need to buy anything else?
No. You don't need a ChatGPT or Claude subscription, an AI licence, or any new software — the accounts the agent runs on are ours, and what it costs to run is already in the monthly. Each agent is scoped to a sensible monthly volume so that stays true; if yours grows well past it, we talk before anything changes. If your job needs a paid third-party service on your side, we tell you before you commit, not after.
What if my job's more complicated?
Then we say so on the call and price it properly, or tell you it isn't worth doing yet. A client who signs up for the wrong thing tells more people about it than one who doesn't.
Can I take it in-house later?
Yes. Everything we build for you is documented, and that documentation is yours. There's no version of this where you're stuck with us because leaving is too hard.
Find out what your job would cost.
Half an hour on the phone. We'll tell you which job to start with, what it would take, and whether it's worth it at all.
