Watch Charlotte take a call

Under a minute, from the first hello to the deal on your board.

The first conversation

52 seconds

A first-home buyer rings while you are somewhere else. Charlotte answers, says the call is recorded, asks how much they want to borrow, tells them plainly she is an AI when they ask, and books them in for three tomorrow. Then the film shows what a call like that leaves you: a booking in your diary, a write-up to read before you meet them, and the deal already on your board.

Read the film
  1. PictureA car parked on a quiet street. The phone in its cradle is dark. On screen: “There is one of you.”
  2. PictureThe call plays over one afternoon in four places: the car, a café table, a kitchen bench and a folding chair at the edge of an oval. The phone in each is dark.
  3. Charlotte…Just so you know, this call is recorded.
  4. CallerHi. We’re looking at buying our first home.
  5. CharlotteThanks. Roughly how much were you looking to borrow?
  6. CallerAbout six hundred. Sorry, is this an AI?
  7. CharlotteYes, I’m an AI voice agent. I’m here to take your details.
  8. CharlotteI’ve got three tomorrow afternoon. Does that suit?
  9. CallerPerfect.
  10. CharlotteYou’re booked in for three tomorrow.
  11. PictureThe diary in our demo account, with a booking at 3:00 pm. On screen: “Booked while you were here.”
  12. PictureA call summary and part of a transcript from the demo account. On screen: “Read the call before you meet them.”
  13. PictureThe demo account’s deals board, with a first home loan in the Appointment booked column. On screen: “No re-keying. The deal is already on the board.”
  14. PictureOn screen: “She asks what you would ask. Your questions, in your words, one at a time.”

Your questions

She asks what you would ask

Write a question the way you would say it on a first call. That is what Charlotte puts to the person who rings.
An example call, part way through
  1. Caller

    Hi, yeah. We have found a place we like and we need to sort the finance.

  2. Charlotte

    Happy to help with that. Roughly how much were you looking to borrow?

She asks one, then stops and waits for the answer.

Charlotte asks up to six of these, one at a time, must-pass questions first, then in the order you set. You write them when you set yourself up, and you can change them whenever you like.

Her guardrails

The lines Charlotte is told to stay inside

She is built to take the enquiry, not to advise. These are her instructions, not guarantees: like any AI she can get something wrong, and the regulated work stays with you.
No credit advice
Charlotte qualifies and books. She is instructed never to quote rates, fees or approval odds, and never to compare products. Regulated credit advice stays with you, the licensed broker.
Does not ask for sensitive details
She is instructed never to ask for bank account or card numbers, PINs, passwords or tax file numbers, and to decline them politely if a caller offers them. The call recording and transcript still hold whatever a caller chooses to say.
Honest that she is an AI
She is instructed to say plainly that she is an AI whenever a caller asks, and never to claim to be a person or to speak for you beyond taking the enquiry.
Her calls on the record
Every call Charlotte answers or makes is recorded and transcribed, so you have a record of what was said. She is instructed to tell the caller near the start that the call is recorded.

That is about 10x what Charlotte costs.

An estimate on your own figures. It counts only the enquiries Charlotte now catches that would otherwise be missed, and assumes they settle at the same rate as the calls you already answer. It also assumes your usage stays inside the 1,000 minutes included on the Standard plan each month; calls beyond that draw credit at 50 cents a minute, which this estimate does not add.
