Who we are

We're Rod and Kim - an AI consulting and development team based in regional NSW. We live in what we think is the tradie capital of Australia - between Sydney and Newcastle. We love serving our local clients and saw a real need to support tradies Australia-wide with our custom AI solutions that remove tech headaches, create more leads & cashflow, simplify your admin and give more time back. We understand the practical day to day of running a business, and real AI advancements that put more cash in your pocket, margin in your day, and time in your calendar (no hype here!).

What we stand for

Our values

Clear outcomes

Everyone is clear on what success looks like before we begin, and we measure against that.

Safe integrations

We test thoroughly, and build systems and automations using cyber security and engineering best practices.Your systems stay stable.

We’re invested in you

We want you to see a 10X return on investment while improving your business - your success is our success.

Keep it real

Fun fact: we don’t buy into the AI hype, either. We only offer validated and genuine solutions using AI.

"We don't add broad terms like, integrity, honesty, respect in our values – we wouldn't get up in the morning unless we had that."
Why teams choose us

Built for Australian trades

We understand trades

From plumbing to electrical, builders, landscaping to HVAC - we understand the questions your customers ask and the information you need to qualify a job, the challenges of running a service based business.

Local support, local hours

Based in NSW with skilled, local support during Australian business hours.

Safe, tested integrations

We integrate with ServiceM8, Tradify, Fergus and more. Every connection is tested, monitored and built using industry best practice coding principles and security authentications.

Transparent pricing

No hidden fees, no surprises. Clear monthly pricing with usage that scales as your needs grow. That's why we build specific products, services - and this dedicated site - to serve you, our local tradie - and the partner and people supporting you behind the scenes.

What we will not do

Our boundaries

We believe in honest partnerships. Here's what we don't offer – and why that makes us better at what we do.

We won't promise perfect accuracy

AI is powerful but not infallible, and it’s not a magic wand. We design for highest success rates with human handover for edge cases.

We won't replace your entire team

Our goal is to build AI to handle repetitive work and maximise conversions, so your team can focus on high-value tasks. Humans still matter.

We won't lock you into long contracts

Tradie Talk Pro™ is month-to-month by default. We earn your business every month.

We won't deploy without testing

Every setup includes a pilot phase with real calls, feedback loops and refinement before a full, considered launch.

Compliance snapshot

Privacy and security built in

Transcripts are secured and data retention is under your control. We follow Australian privacy expectations and work with you to meet your compliance requirements.
