Ahoyhoy

Demo line · New Zealand

Ring the receptionist.
Hear it for yourself.

The demo line is answered by Ahoyhoy itself. It knows it is a demo: it will tell you it is an AI, talk about what Ahoyhoy does for a small business, and answer your questions. It does not take orders.

Call it from any New Zealand phone

+64 9 886 9518

An Auckland number, so it costs whatever your plan charges for a national call. The AI side is on us.

Or have it ring you

Ahoyhoy calls you within a few seconds, then it's the same conversation.

Mobile or landline. Not 0800 numbers.

Your number is used once, to place this call. The call is free to you.

What you'll hear

  1. 01

    It answers in about a second. And it says straight away that it is an AI receptionist.

  2. 02

    It only talks about Ahoyhoy. What it does, how it would answer for a business like yours, how to get started. Ask it anything on that.

  3. 03

    It does not take orders or bookings. There is no business behind the demo line, so there is nothing to order. Your own number will have your menu and your instructions.

  4. 04

    Talk over it if you like. It stops and listens, the way a person would. Hang up whenever you want.

  5. 05

    It wraps up on time. Calls run up to 4 minutes. It says goodbye before the end and, if you want, points you to sign up.

Fair use

Ahoyhoy pays for every minute on this line, so it has limits.

  • New Zealand numbers only. Withheld or overseas caller ID is not answered.
  • Each call runs up to 4 minutes. It says goodbye 30 seconds before the end.
  • Each number gets 8 minutes a day and 20 minutes in total.
  • Up to 3 calls at once and 60 minutes a day across everyone. After that you get a busy tone until midnight.

Privacy Draft, see #33

You are always talking to an AI, and it says so. The conversation runs on an OpenAI model. Our server keeps a text transcript and call timings in memory to check quality, not as audio and not on disk; they go when the server restarts. If you ask it to ring you, your number is used to place that one call and kept the same way. Nothing is recorded.
