AgentBuddy is the AI office manager for New Zealand tradies. It answers the calls you miss, writes the quote, books the job, sends the invoice and chases the money, so your evenings are yours again.
● Starting at NZ$29 a month. Set up with you over four short calls, booked late afternoon so we are not pulling you off a job.
Works with the tools you already run

Nothing to rip out and nothing new to learn. AgentBuddy keeps your existing number, writes into the calendar you already use, and pushes invoices straight into Xero. If you run nothing but a phone and a notebook, that works too.

One agent, sitting on your phone and your inbox, doing the admin that keeps you up at night.
Miss a call and you miss a job. AgentBuddy picks up, works out what the customer needs and books the work while your hands are full.
Snap a photo or just say the job out loud. A tidy, GST-sorted quote goes to the customer in seconds, not at 9pm on the couch.
It invoices the second a job is done and nudges the late payers for you. No more awkward "any chance of that invoice" texts.
Work goes straight into your diary, the week stays straight, and nothing slips through the cracks between site and van.
Quotes that went quiet get a friendly nudge a few days later. Cold jobs turn warm while you get on with the work.
Sends the "on my way" text and the appointment reminder, so you get fewer no-shows and a better name on the street.
Asks happy customers for a Google review at exactly the right moment, so your reputation builds itself in the background.
Tell it what you need the way you would tell an office manager. No menus, no forms, no software to learn on a Sunday.
You are not handed a login and left to it. Four short calls, all booked late afternoon or after five, because you are on a job all day.
Two minutes on the form below. Your trade, how many of you there are, and the best time to ring. That is all we need to get started.
2 minutes, right nowYou give your agent a name, and we load it with everything it needs to work for you: how big the outfit is, who works with you, the kinds of jobs you take, what those jobs are usually worth and what you charge. It ends the call knowing your business.
About 30 minutesWe connect it to your number, your calendar, your Xero and whatever job software you already run. By the end of this call it is answering real calls and writing real quotes.
You are live after this oneWe go through the jobs it handled, fix anything that did not sound like you, and tighten the pricing rules. Then we hand you the keys and stay on the end of the phone.
A fortnight apartA small monthly fee for the agent, then a few cents each time it deals with a customer for you. A quiet month costs you almost nothing.
What that works out to. A one-person outfit usually lands between NZ$45 and NZ$130 a month. A busy crew with a few vans runs NZ$150 to NZ$400. Set a monthly cap and it will never go past it without asking you first.
What a week looks like once the office runs itself. Worked examples from the trades we build for.
Burst pipe calls come in while both hands are under a sink. The agent answers, triages the urgency, books the emergency into the diary and texts the customer an ETA before the phone stops ringing.

A photo of the switchboard and a voice note is enough. The agent writes the quote against your price book, sends it with GST sorted, and nudges the customer if it goes quiet for three days.

Invoices go out the moment a stage signs off, reminders run on their own schedule, and the awkward third follow-up gets sent by something that does not feel awkward about sending it.

Every trade takes calls differently, prices differently and gets messed around differently. Find yours.
No. AgentBuddy sits on top of what you already run. It keeps your phone number, talks to your Xero, writes into your calendar and works alongside your job software. If you run nothing at all except a phone and a notebook, that works too.
It introduces itself as your assistant, by the name you give it. It does not pretend to be you. Most customers just want someone to pick up, take the details and tell them when you are coming.
You set the rules. A burst pipe or a lockout can be pushed straight through to your phone, while a quote enquiry waits until morning. It triages the call before it wakes you.
NZ$29 a month covers the agent and your setup. On top of that you pay 25 cents each time it handles a customer for you: a call answered, a quote sent, an invoice chased. A quiet week costs you a couple of dollars. You can set a monthly cap so it never surprises you.
It is taking real calls by the end of your second setup call. The two calls after that are for tuning it on jobs it has already done.
Yes. GST is handled properly, the pricing is in NZD, and it is built around how New Zealand trades actually quote and invoice. There is an Australian version too.
Fill this in and we will ring you to book your first setup call. Two minutes now, and you are on the way to never quoting at 9pm again.
