How to Set Up an AI Receptionist for Your Australian Business in 48 Hours
From Sign-Up to Live in 48 Hours
One of the biggest misconceptions about AI receptionists is that they're complex to set up. The reality: getting a Maveryk AI agent live for your business takes less than 48 hours and requires no technical knowledge.
Here's exactly how it works.
Step 1: Choose Your Plan (5 minutes)
Select the plan that matches your call volume:
- Starter ($497/month + GST, $546.70 inc GST) — up to 200 minutes, guided setup; ideal for solo operators
- Core ($997/month + GST, $1,096.70 inc GST, plus one-time $750 + GST setup, $825 inc GST) — up to 500 minutes, built by hand for your business with calendar integration
- Premium ($2,997/month + GST, $3,296.70 inc GST) — up to 1,000 minutes, everything in Core, for higher call volume
Step 2: Complete Your Business Profile (15 minutes)
After signing up, you'll complete a short onboarding form that tells your AI agent everything it needs to know:
- Your business name, address, and phone number
- Your services and pricing (as much or as little detail as you want)
- Your opening hours and after-hours policy
- Your booking rules — working hours, job length, travel buffer, how far ahead you'll book
- Your agent's name and personality (professional, friendly, etc.)
Step 3: We Build Your Agent (24 hours)
We configure your AI agent based on your profile. We test it against common call scenarios for your industry and refine the responses until they sound natural and handle edge cases correctly.
Step 4: Forward Your Number (10 minutes)
You forward your existing business number to your new Maveryk AI number. This takes about 10 minutes with your phone provider. Your number stays the same, so callers ring you just as they always have.
Step 5: Go Live
Your AI agent is now answering calls. Every call is recorded and summarised in your client portal, and you get an email or SMS when a job is booked.
What Happens After Go-Live?
On Core and Premium, we monitor your agent's performance in the first week and make adjustments based on real calls.
