Architecture

What is Callable AI built on?

Callable is built on its own stack. It is not built on Vapi, Retell, Bland, Synthflow or ElevenLabs, and does not resell any of them — those are alternative platforms, not components.

Compliance

Is it legal to use AI voice agents in Australia?

Yes. As at August 2026 no Australian law prohibits using an AI voice agent to make or take business calls, and none specifically requires you to announce that a caller is an AI.

Pricing

How much does an AI voice agent cost in Australia?

Expect roughly $300 to $1,500 per month for a small-business AI voice agent in Australia, plus phone-system seats if your human team needs them. Callable itself does not publish a price list: it is priced as a flat monthly fee, scoped with sales to each deployment, in Australian dollars excluding GST.

Comparison

Per-minute or flat-rate — how should an AI voice agent be priced?

Most of the AI voice market bills per minute, at roughly $0.07 to $0.31 all-in once speech recognition, the language model and text-to-speech are stacked on the platform fee. Flat-rate plans do exist, but in most cases the meter reappears somewhere else — on concurrency, on model spend billed to your own provider account, or as a plan tier sized around a fixed number of answered calls.

Integration

Can an AI voice agent call someone automatically when something happens in my CRM?

With most voice-AI platforms, not on their own. They ship call-lifecycle webhooks — notifications that a call you already launched has started or ended — but no way for a CRM event to start a call.

Comparison

AI receptionist or human answering service — which should I use?

Use a human answering service when calls are emotionally sensitive, highly variable, or low volume enough that per-call pricing stays cheap. Use an AI receptionist when volume is steady or spiky, when you need every call answered in seconds at 2am as readily as 2pm, and when you want the conversation to end in a booking rather than a message.

Solar & energy

What's the best AI voice agent for solar sales in Australia?

For Australian solar sales, the deciding feature is speed to first call — solar leads are typically shopping three or four installers at once, and the first company to have a real conversation usually books the assessment. Look for an agent that dials within 60 seconds of the enquiry landing, qualifies on ownership, roof type, bill size and timeframe, books the site assessment into a live calendar, and retries the roughly 60% of leads who don't answer first time.

Mortgage broking

What's the best AI voice agent for mortgage brokers in Australia?

For Australian mortgage brokers the deciding features are surge handling and document chasing. A broking practice has two phone problems: rate-announcement days when every client calls at once, and files that stall waiting on paperwork.

Real estate

What's the best AI voice agent for real estate agents in Australia?

For Australian real estate the deciding feature is callback speed on portal enquiries. Buyers enquire on realestate.com.au or Domain from their phone, often on several listings at once, and an agent standing in an open home cannot answer.

Financial advice

What's the best AI voice agent for financial planners in Australia?

For Australian financial planners the deciding feature is review booking at scale, not inbound answering. The recurring problem is annual review season: a book of several hundred clients who all need a meeting, and a practice that cannot make several hundred calls.

Events & venues

What's the best AI voice agent for events and venues in Australia?

For Australian venues the deciding feature is live availability. Event enquiries are date-driven — the caller wants to know whether you are free on a specific Saturday — and the answer has to be right, immediately, while your team is running an event.
