Stop missing leads while you’re on the tools.

You’re on a job. Your phone rings. You can’t answer. That lead goes to the next tradie who picks up. Brain Buddy AI answers for you, qualifies the job, and books the appointment before you’ve put down your drill.

01

The problem every tradie knows.

You are busy doing the work. That is the whole point. But while you are under a house, up a ladder, or wrist-deep in a switchboard, your phone is ringing.

Evenings and weekends are when most homeowners actually search for a tradie, and those are the hours you are least likely to answer.

The maths is brutal: most visitors leave a trade website without ever making contact. Missed calls do not call back. The lead goes to whoever picks up first.

02

An AI assistant that works your hours.

Brain Buddy AI puts a trained chatbot on your website that knows your services, your pricing structure, your service areas, and the kinds of jobs you take on.

01

Answers questions instantly.

Responds to enquiries about your services, pricing structure, and availability in plain English.

02

Qualifies every job.

Determines whether the enquiry is residential or commercial, emergency or planned, and within your service area.

03

Captures full details.

Collects address, job description, photos, preferred timing, and property type before you even see the lead.

04

Books appointments.

Integrates with your calendar, shows available time slots, and confirms the booking on the spot.

05

Handles emergencies.

Recognises urgent language like burst pipes or power outages, flags the enquiry, and sends you an immediate notification.

06

Works weekends and after hours.

Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Captures every lead you would otherwise miss.

03

Every enquiry answered. Every job qualified.

The day-to-day difference is simple: the 9pm burst-pipe enquiry gets answered at 9pm. The agent collects the address, the job details and the photos, flags it as an emergency, and notifies you. By the time you call back, you already know what you are quoting.

And because every conversation is logged in your dashboard, you can see exactly which enquiries came in, when they arrived, and what the agent said. No guesswork, no missed voicemails, no phone tag.

04

Works for every trade.

The chatbot is trained on your specific business, so it works regardless of your trade. Whether you are answering questions about hot water systems, quoting on a full house rewire, or explaining retaining wall options, the AI handles the conversation the same way you would.

05

Three steps to go live.

01

Discovery call.

We talk about your services, pricing, service areas, and the types of jobs you want more of. We learn how your business operates so the AI sounds like a knowledgeable member of your team.

02

Build and train.

We build your AI assistant and train it on your specific business information. It knows your trade, your pricing bands, your service area, and the kinds of questions your customers ask.

03

Go live.

Your assistant goes live on your website and starts capturing leads around the clock. You get notified for every qualified enquiry. The managed build takes one to two weeks. Self-serve through Brain Buddy AI Studio is quick to set up and start.

07

The questions we actually get asked.

If yours is not here, send it across. We will answer it honestly.

Does the chatbot know my service area?

Yes. During setup we train it on your exact suburbs, postcodes, and regions. It gives customers a straight answer about whether you cover their location.

Can it handle emergency callout requests?

Yes. The chatbot recognises urgent language like burst pipes, power outages, and gas leaks. It flags the enquiry, collects the address and phone number, and sends you an immediate notification.

What if the customer needs a quote?

The chatbot collects all the details you would normally ask on the phone: job type, property type, location, timing, and any photos or descriptions. You get a complete brief so you can quote accurately without phone tag.

Does it work on weekends and after hours?

Yes. Available 24/7, 365 days a year. This matters because evenings, weekends and public holidays are when many homeowners search for a tradie, and exactly when you are least able to pick up the phone.

Can it book appointments in my calendar?

Yes. The chatbot shows available time slots, lets the customer pick a time, and confirms the booking. You get notified with the full job details. No phone tag required.

How long does it take to set up?

Self-serve through Brain Buddy AI Studio is quick to set up and start. Managed plans with custom training typically take one to two weeks from discovery call to live deployment.

What if a customer gets frustrated?

The chatbot is built to recognise frustration signals and offer a real person rather than push back. When it does not have a confident answer, it is designed to say so and hand the conversation off with full context.

How much does it cost?

Managed plans include the AI chatbot plus search optimisation, scoped to your business after a free audit. Self-serve chatbot plans are available at studio.brainbuddy.ai.
