Chatbots for tradies in Brisbane

An AI chatbot for your trade business, from a Brisbane AI freelancer

If you are on the tools all day, a chatbot on your website can answer the usual questions and take down a customer's details while you work. Post what you want and local Mateys will quote.

Matey is a job board: you post what you need and Mateys send quotes. You choose who to hire.

What it can do for you

  • Answers the questions people ask before they ring: the areas you cover, the services you offer, your hours and how your quotes work.
  • Collects the customer's name, phone number, address and what the job is, and sends it to you by email or text.
  • Tells people politely when it cannot help and asks them to call you, so nobody is left guessing.

What to put in your job

The clearer the job, the better the quotes. The form is filled in with an example you can change.

  • Your trade and the suburbs you work in.
  • The ten questions customers ask you most.
  • What website you have (Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, or not sure).
  • How you want the details sent to you: email, text or both.

How it works on Matey

    Mateys send quotes and you can chat with them. Check their profiles and reviews.

  3. Pay safely

    Your payment is held until you and the Matey both confirm the job is done.

Common questions

Do I need to know anything about AI?

No. Describe the job like you would to a mate. The Matey handles the set-up and should show you how to change the answers yourself.

Can it answer my phone?

A website chatbot handles messages on your site, not phone calls. If you also want calls answered, post that as a separate job.

How do I know the person is who they say they are?

Mateys verify their identity and connect a bank account through Stripe, our payments provider. You can also read reviews from past jobs on their profile.

Is my money safe?

You pay through Matey and the payment is held. It is only released to the Matey once you and the Matey both confirm the job is done. If you disagree, "Report a problem" keeps the money held while we look into it.

What does it cost me?

Posting a job is free. Mateys quote their own price and you pay the job amount, with nothing added on top. Matey keeps 10% of the job amount from what the Matey is paid.
