The Melbourne problem

Great city. Tight margins. No room for a Tuesday admin day.

Rents on Brunswick St aren't getting cheaper. Wages aren't either. The owners we work with in Melbourne aren't drowning in strategy questions — they're drowning in inbox, calendar, quoting and chasing. AI handles the rote stuff so your team can focus on customers, craft and growth.

📞

Phones ringing, no one to answer

Lunch rush, surgery, on a job, in a meeting — leads land in voicemail and never get called back.

📅

Booking ping-pong by email

"Tuesday 2pm?" "Sorry, Wednesday 3?" Six emails to book one appointment. Half the time the lead ghosts.

🧾

Invoices, bills, BAS, repeat

Your bookkeeper bills 6 hours a week to retype things a bot reads in seconds.

📬

300-email inbox by Friday

FAQs, status checks, "did you get my form?" — answered the same way every time, by you, at 10pm.

💸

Overdue invoices, awkward chase

Day 30, day 45, day 60. No one enjoys the awkward follow-up call — so it doesn't happen.

🌐

Website that just sits there

A nice Squarespace site doing nothing. No qualification, no booking, no answer at 9pm.

What we automate

The eight things eating your week in Melbourne — handled.

Pick one to start. We launch the highest-ROI piece first, so the payback funds the next build.

01

Lead qualification bot

Web visitor lands at 9pm. Bot greets them, asks the right qualifying questions, books the call, drops the lead into your CRM with notes. You wake up to qualified meetings, not a queue of "hi, are you open?".

Web chatSMSHubSpot / Salesforce / Pipedrive
02

Booking assistant

Reads your calendar (and your team's). Books appointments via chat, SMS, or your site. Reminds the day before, lets them reschedule themselves. No-shows drop ~50%.

03

AI email helper

Triages your inbox. Drafts replies in your voice. Auto-answers the FAQs ("are you open Sunday?", "what do you charge for X?"). You skim, approve, send.

GmailOutlookOn-brand drafts
04

Product / service assistant

Knows your menu, your services, your pricing, your stock. Answers customer questions, recommends, books the table or the consult, recovers carts.

05

DocuSign & contract workflows

Generates engagement letters, quotes, contracts from a single brief. Routes for signature. Chases the missing ones. Files the executed copies in the right folder.

Admin & back-office bots

Supplier bills → Xero, coded to the right account. Timesheets reconciled. Reports built every Monday. The stuff your bookkeeper bills hours for, done overnight.

Social media automation

Repurposes content, schedules posts, auto-replies to DMs, surfaces leads. So your café / clinic / agency stops going dark on Instagram for three weeks.

Auto-blogging & local SEO

On-brand articles published on schedule. Suburb-by-suburb landing pages for Richmond, South Yarra, Brunswick, etc. — so when someone in Toorak googles your service, they find you.

We run a three-clinic physio group from Hawthorn to Brighton. We were losing six bookings a week to no-shows and another ten to slow email replies. The booking + recall bot fixed both inside a month. The retainer paid for itself by week three.

Frequently asked

Melbourne questions.

Do you actually work with Melbourne businesses, or just remotely from Sydney? +

Both. We're Sydney-based but most engagements run remotely across Australia, and Melbourne is our second-biggest market. We do on-site workshops in Melbourne when an audit needs it — usually a half-day on Collins St or wherever your team sits.

Is the 30-minute discovery call free? +

Yes — completely free. No deck, no pitch. We use the 30 minutes to look at where your week is actually going and tell you honestly whether AI would pay back fastest for your business.

How much does AI automation cost for a Melbourne small business? +

Discovery call: free. Audit: $3,000–$6,000. Build: $5,000–$50,000 depending on integrations. Managed ops retainer: $200–$2,000/month. Most Melbourne SMBs see payback inside 90 days on the first automation we launch.

We use Xero, Cliniko, Vend, Lightspeed — does it integrate? +

Yes. Xero & MYOB are standard. Cliniko, Halaxy, Power Diary, Lightspeed, Square, Shopify, Vend, HubSpot, Salesforce, REX, Property Tree, simPRO, ServiceM8 — all common integrations we've shipped. If it has an API or webhook, we can wire it.

Are you compliant with Australian Privacy Principles and Victorian privacy laws? +

Yes. Data stays in Australian regions where required, and we sign confidentiality & data-handling agreements as standard. For Victorian health, finance and legal clients we follow the additional sector requirements (My Health Records Act, PIPA, APRA CPS 234 where relevant).

How long until something is live? +

Lead qualification bot: 2 weeks. Booking assistant: 2–3 weeks. Full back-office automation stack: 4–8 weeks. We always launch the single highest-ROI piece first so you see the payback before we scale.

What kinds of Melbourne businesses are you a good fit for? +

Owner-operated and small-team SMBs doing $500k–$20M revenue. Cafés & hospitality groups, allied health & dental clinics, real estate offices, trades & construction, professional services (legal, accounting, consulting), e-commerce, agencies, and Melbourne's long tail of B2B services. If you have a person doing repetitive admin or chasing leads, we can help.

Who owns what you build? +

You do. Code, prompts, knowledge bases — all yours. We can host it for you on the retainer or hand it over completely on day one of go-live.
