AI automation · Lismore, Northern Rivers
AI automation for Lismore businesses — built and run from just down the road.
Lismore is the working heart of the Northern Rivers. It's tradies rebuilding the town job by job, health and allied health clinics booked out weeks ahead, accountants, lawyers and agencies serving the whole region — practical businesses run by people who do the work and answer the phone. And that's the problem: when you're on the tools, in a consult or with a client, the phone still rings. Every call that goes to voicemail in Lismore rings next at a competitor.
Lismore businesses have rebuilt through more than most towns get asked to. The ones that came back strongest did it by working smarter, not just harder — and that's exactly what AI automation is for.
We design it, build it, host it and run it — you just get the results
Skiply isn't software you sign up for and figure out yourself. We come into your business, work out where an AI agent genuinely pays for itself, then build it around how you already work — and keep running it for you after it goes live:
Answering
An AI agent picks up every call, sounds like a real person, takes the details and flags the urgent ones. No more voicemail losing you work.
Appointment setting
Customers book real gaps in your calendar, day or night, without phone tag.
Quote follow-up
The quotes you've already sent get chased before they go cold — automatically.
Hosted, monitored, updated and improved by us on an ongoing basis. Nothing lands on your plate except the extra jobs.
Based here — not a national call centre
There are national, self-serve AI products that will happily take a Lismore business's money without knowing where Lismore is. That's not this. Skiply is based in the Northern Rivers: we'll sit across the table from you, walk your actual process, and build for the way business really runs here. When you call, you get a named local person who built your system and is accountable for it — not an offshore queue, not a help-desk ticket.
Built and run by Ben — a senior digital leader who runs a $100M+ digital business, grown close to 40% in four years.
He started Skiply to give local businesses the same calibre of automation the big end of town builds — without the corporate budget. The full story →
Where to start
Most Lismore businesses start with the trades playbook or one of the core builds:
Questions Lismore businesses ask
Do you actually work in Lismore, or is this remote?
Both, honestly. We're Northern Rivers based, so discovery and scoping can happen across a table in Lismore, and the build itself happens online. You're never dealing with a call centre in another state.
My clinic/practice already has reception — why would I need this?
Reception goes home at 5pm and can't take three calls at once. The agent catches the overflow and the after-hours calls, books them into real gaps, and your front desk stays human — just less swamped.
We're a trades business working across the whole region — does it handle that?
Yes. Service-area rules are built in: the suburbs you cover, the work you take, travel buffers between jobs. Lismore to Ballina to Casino — the agent books around your actual run.
What does it cost?
It's scoped to your business — a one-off build fee plus a monthly retainer where we host, run and manage everything. A free discovery call gets you a straight answer for your setup.
