AI SMS Chat for Melbourne Businesses
Answer customer texts without the back-and-forth
Our AI SMS chatbots in Melbourne reply to text messages in seconds. They handle FAQs, collect the right details (name, suburb, service, preferred time), request photos via a secure link, and book jobs or call-backs. Confirmations and reminders are sent automatically. If a person’s needed, the bot hands over with a tidy summary. Use your existing mobile number or a new local number.
Fast replies by text. Bookings, updates & reminders – 24/7.
How It Works
Quick scoping call – we confirm what customers text about most, your tone, what the bot can answer, and when to hand over to a person.
Connect your number – use your existing mobile (or add a new local SMS number). We set friendly auto-replies and business-hours rules.
Conversation flows – agree on the details to collect (name, suburb, service, preferred time, email), secure photo upload link, and book/call-back paths.
Calendars & inbox – connect a calendar so the bot can offer times and confirm, and email/SMS your team a tidy summary of each thread.
Answers & quick replies – FAQs in plain English with links to price lists, forms, directions or product pages.
Test & tune – we run real text conversations, check photo uploads and bookings, and polish the tone so it feels natural.
Go live & improve – we monitor results and keep tuning wording, reminders and routing.
Industry Examples
Trades & Services – Quote requests with photo link, service areas and pricing, books jobs or call-backs; sends reminders and directions.
Healthcare & Clinics – New-patient info, fees and what to bring; books appointments and sends confirmations/reminders by text.
Training & RTOs – Course info, intake dates and prerequisites; books info sessions and follow-ups.
Real Estate – Inspection times, application steps, maintenance photos via secure link; routes to the right agent.
Professional Services – Qualifies by service, timeline and budget; books consults and requests starter documents.
Retail / E-commerce – Order updates, delivery windows, click-and-collect details and simple returns links; escalates complex cases neatly.

FAQs
What does an SMS chatbot actually do?
It replies to customer texts in seconds, asks for any missing details, can request photos via a secure link, and books a job or call-back. If a person is needed, it hands over with a tidy summary.
Can we keep our current mobile number?
Yes. Most clients keep their number and forward or connect it to the SMS service. We can also provide a new local number if you prefer.
Can it collect photos for quotes?
Absolutely. The bot sends a secure upload link so customers can take or attach photos from their phone. The files are stored safely and linked to the conversation.
Can it book appointments or jobs?
Yes. We connect a calendar so the bot can offer times, confirm a slot and send reminders. Or it can schedule a call-back for your team.
How does it know what to ask and say?
We use your website, price guide and FAQs to build friendly answers, plus a simple checklist (name, suburb, service, preferred time). You can update any wording later.
Can it send links and attachments?
Yes—links to price lists, forms, map directions, product pages or a secure photo upload page. (Files are shared by link, which is more reliable than MMS.)
What if the question is complex or sensitive?
The bot hands the thread to a person, tags it and sends a neat summary so nothing is missed.
Is it compliant and private?
Yes. We include first-message identification, STOP opt-out, rate-limiting and sensible retention. Photos and details are stored securely.
How long does setup take?
Most Melbourne clients go live in 1–2 weeks once we connect your number, calendar and answers.
How much does it cost?
After a short call to understand your requirements and workflow, we’ll provide a fixed quote including setup and local support. No lock-in.
Does it support group messages or campaigns?
We focus on conversational, one-to-one SMS for service and bookings. If you need campaigns later, we can recommend options.
