    Doris AI Receptionist

    While you were busy,
    Doris got you 3 leads.

    Doris is an AI receptionist for small businesses in New Zealand that answers calls, replies to messages, captures enquiries, and follows up automatically. Built for sole traders and busy service businesses, Doris starts at $225/month plus a $750 setup fee.

    You're busy. Your clients won't wait. Doris steps in, handles the front desk, and makes sure nothing & no one.... falls through the cracks.

    The reality

    You didn't get into business to manage a phone.

    Or watch your inbox.

    Or remember to follow up with the person who enquired on Tuesday and then went quiet.

    Juggling clients, doing the work you're actually good at, and simultaneously trying to be available to every person who might want to become one. It's a lot. And the worst part? You don't even know what you're missing.

    That call that rang out while you were with someone. The message that came in after hours. The enquiry that got buried under everything else and never got a reply.

    They didn't wait. They booked someone else. And you never knew they tried.

    Missed calls

    It rang.
    You were busy.
    They moved on.
    That's the whole story.

    Slow replies

    However they reach you — phone, message, website. If you're not fast, someone else is.

    Inbox chaos

    Phone. Social. Website. Email. They tried to reach you somewhere in there. Something slipped.

    Meet Doris. She's already on it.


    Doris is the AI receptionist who steps in the moment someone tries to reach you.

    She answers calls. She replies to messages. She captures every enquiry and makes sure nothing — and no one — gets lost in the shuffle. Then she follows up, requests the review, and reminds your existing clients it's time to come back.

    She's not a clunky chatbot that sends people in circles. She's a properly trained AI receptionist, built around your business — your services, your hours, your tone. She handles the first response so you can handle the actual relationship.

    And she doesn't take lunch breaks.

    Need a booking system too? We've got you covered — ask us about the Doris calendar add-on.

    What does a slow reply actually cost you?

    Let's do the maths.

    If you miss one enquiry a week — one call that rang out, one message you got to too late — that's roughly one booking gone. At $200–800 per booking depending on your industry, that's over $20,000 a year walking out the door while you were busy doing the actual work.

    Doris costs $52 a week.

    You do the maths.

    Imagine finishing a job
    & finding your leads already handled.

    Not missed calls you have to ring back. Not messages you have to apologise for ignoring. Not a mental list of people you meant to follow up with but didn't.

    Just a neat little list of people who reached out while you were busy — names, details, what they're after — already captured, already responded to, already moving toward a booking.

    That's what it feels like when your business has a proper front desk.

    Your clients feel looked after from the very first message. Your diary fills without the chaos. Your Google reviews tick up without you having to remember to ask. Your existing clients get a reminder at exactly the right moment and book themselves back in.

    And you stop spending Sunday nights catching up on the week's worth of messages you missed.

    Doris doesn't replace you. She makes sure that by the time you show up, the groundwork is already done.

    Every enquiry captured.

    Nothing falls through the cracks. Ever.

    Every client followed up.

    Automatically. Without you lifting a finger.

    Every review requested.

    Right time. Right message. No awkward asking.

    Seriously. Pick up your phone and call the Doris demo number right now. Ask her about services, pricing, booking — whatever you like. See how she handles it.
