Example conversation

    Illustrative example. No real calls or bookings are made.

    A good call needs more
    than a good voice.

    A long pause feels awkward. Being cut off does too. Bludge is built to listen and give you room to finish.

    With Ready Replies, it prepares answers to common questions while the caller speaks. If the question changes, it changes course. If it needs more time, it can say so.

    In a US phone test, the median time to start speaking was 0.59 seconds across eight calls. For a new question, the first words may be a brief “mm-hm”.

    You help it get ready for the next call.

    New questions come back to you. You can check the draft, change it and approve it. A new prepared reply is added only with your approval.

    Your caller knows
    what happens next.

    Book a time.

    Bludge checks your calendar and books a time that suits the caller.

    An honest answer beats a made-up price.

    We asked Bludge for a repair price it hadn’t been given. Hear what it said.

    Real replies from a controlled test with a fictional business, September 2026. Not a customer call.

    Transcript and test details

    Recorded September 24, 2026. We gave Bludge a fictional air-conditioning business, Fern Air, and asked about services, hours and prices. Its replies are joined together; the caller questions are below.

    Caller
    Hi, do you repair split system air conditioners, and what time are you open?
    Bludge
    Yes, we repair split systems. Our hours are Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm.
    Caller
    How much does a repair cost? Can you book me in for tomorrow?
    Bludge
    I do not know the cost of a repair. This is a preview, so I cannot book appointments.

    The recording begins with Bludge identifying itself as AI and naming the fictional business. Synthetic caller audio; no customer call or booking. Playback gaps are removed. One controlled test, not phone-network latency or a customer testimonial.

    Included at the normal monthly plan price. Normal usage limits apply. Custom work and extra lines are quoted separately; number and registration charges are confirmed before you start. See what’s included

    Questions you
    might have.

    More answers
    Can I keep my business number?

    Usually, through call forwarding. We’ll help check the options with your phone provider.

    Will my customers mind talking to AI?

    Bludge says it’s AI, then gets on with helping. Some callers may still want a person. You choose when it should put them through or take a message. Hear an example, then test it with the questions your customers ask.

    What if my customers hang up when they hear it’s AI?

    Some may. We don’t yet have enough real customer calls to give you a reliable rate. Try it with the questions your callers ask and choose when a person should step in.

    Does it make up answers?

    It uses the details you give it and is told to say when it doesn’t know. AI can make mistakes. Test it before use and keep key decisions with your team. You can review new questions and approve answers for next time.

    What happens in an emergency?

    You set which urgent calls should reach your team. Bludge can skip the usual questions, take the key details and try your chosen numbers. If it spots danger, it gives the safety message set for that case. If no one answers, or it is outside your transfer hours, it takes a message and tells the caller. It does not replace emergency services.

    Will I still know what my customers are asking?

    Yes. You get a short note and a written record of each answered call. You can see what people asked and review questions that need a new answer. See how approving a reply works.

    What does it cost?

    Monthly plans from A$175 a month including GST, with no annual commitment and no charge per booking. See pricing.
