AI calling

AI calling that answers, books and follows up - around the clock

Every call answered on the first ring, every quote chased, every booking landed in your calendar - by AI voice agents built for Australian solar and trades businesses, wired into your CRM.

What it does

Two jobs, done relentlessly

Missed calls are missed jobs. After five pm they go to voicemail, on busy days they ring out, and the quote you sent on Tuesday is going cold while everyone is on the tools. AI calling closes both gaps.

Inbound - never miss another call

  • Answers every call on the first ring, day or night, weekends included
  • Answers questions about your services, service area and process
  • Qualifies the enquiry and books it straight into your calendar
  • Takes a message or warm-transfers to your team when it matters
  • Logs the whole conversation in your CRM before the call even ends

Outbound - follow-up that actually happens

  • Calls new leads back within moments of the enquiry - speed to lead, automated
  • Chases quotes and proposals that have gone quiet
  • Confirms appointments and cuts no-shows
  • Reactivates your old database and requests reviews after the job
  • Every outcome lands in your pipeline, not on a sticky note

Our agents run on enterprise voice infrastructure proven at massive scale. The prompts, call flows, solar knowledge and CRM integrations on top are Pipereply's own - built and tuned for how Australian solar and trades businesses actually operate.

Under the hood

The features that make it dependable

Human-like voices

Natural pacing and tone that carries a real conversation. And one rule that never bends - asked directly, the agent always says it is an AI.

One memory across channels

Calls, SMS and chat share context. The follow-up text knows what was said on the phone, and returning callers never repeat themselves.

Every call on the record

Recording, full transcript and an AI-written summary of every conversation, saved against the contact in your CRM. Nothing said on a call gets lost.

Warm human handoff

When a call needs your team, it transfers with full context - who is calling, what they want, what has been said. No cold "can I take a message" moments.

Guardrails and QA

Agents stay inside approved knowledge and never guess. Conversations are scored and reviewable, so quality is something you can see, not hope for.

Connected to your stack

Built into Solar AI-Q and working alongside OpenSolar, Pylon, Simpro, AroFlo, ServiceM8, Xero and the rest of your tools. One entry, everywhere updated.

The honest comparison

AI calling next to the alternatives

The voice team

Who does the talking

Piper sets appointments from your inbound enquiries, Sarah works your outbound calls, and Emma answers the phone as your receptionist. They are part of a wider team covering support, follow-up and reactivation - meet all of them here. And when the phone is not the right channel, AI texting carries the same conversation over SMS.

Questions

AI calling FAQ

What can the AI actually handle on a call?

Full conversations, end to end. It understands what the caller wants, answers from a knowledge base built around your business, books appointments straight into your calendar, updates your CRM, and takes a message or hands over to your team when that is the right move. It only escalates where you have told it to.

Will it sound like a robot?

Judge for yourself - talk to Piper live. The voices are natural, responses come back in well under a second, and the agents are trained to have a conversation, not read a script. One rule we never break: if a caller asks whether they are talking to an AI, the agent says yes.

What happens when it does not know the answer?

It says so, and takes a message or offers a callback instead of guessing. Guardrails keep every agent inside the knowledge you have approved, and because every call is transcribed and summarised, you can review exactly what was said and tighten anything that needs it.

Can callers reach a real person?

Yes. Warm handoff is built in - the AI transfers the call to your team with full context when the conversation calls for it, based on rules you set. Your people only handle the calls that genuinely need them.

How many calls can it take at once?

There is no practical limit. Ten enquiries during a rebate rush or a storm week all get answered on the first ring - no busy signal, no queue, no voicemail. That is the single biggest difference from a human receptionist or answering service.

Does it remember previous conversations?

Yes. Calls, SMS and chat share one memory, so the text follow-up knows what was said on the phone and a returning caller does not have to start from scratch. One entry, everywhere updated.

Is it secure?

Conversations are encrypted in transit and at rest, access is role-based, and every call leaves a full audit trail of recording, transcript and summary. The infrastructure runs on a 99.99 percent uptime SLA with multi-region failover.

What does it cost?

AI calling is part of the Solar AI-Q packages rather than a standalone product - the pricing page has the full breakdown. Which agents and call flows fit your business is exactly what a strategy call is for.
