Every missed call is a potential customer calling your competitor.

Ultico Studios builds a human-sounding AI receptionist that picks up the calls you miss, takes the details and emails them straight to you. Your number stays the same. It only handles what you can't get to, so you get your time back for the work and the people that matter.

The problem

Your phone rings while you're busy with a customer

You're with a customer or on another call. Your phone rings out. That caller doesn't leave a voicemail. They ring the next business on Google and book with them instead. You paid to make that phone ring, then handed the work to a competitor. It happens every week, and hiring someone to sit by the phone costs more than the problem.

How it works

Up and running in three steps

1

A quick chat

Tell us about your business. Your services, your area, how you like to work. No tech talk.

2

We build it around you

Your receptionist answers with your business name and knows your work. It only steps in when you can't answer. Your number stays the same.

3

You get the job

Seconds after the call ends, you get the caller's name, number, suburb and the details. Follow up when it suits you.

Our approach

Built to fit, not replace

We don't replace your receptionist, your admin or you. We catch what falls through. Every build starts with how you already work. We enhance what's working and replace only what holds you back.

Who it's for

Made for local service businesses

Built for solo operators and small teams across South East Queensland who can't sit by the phone all day. If your customers reach you by phone, it fits.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Will callers know it's not a person?

It sounds natural, and it's upfront that it's an AI assistant when asked. Callers are told the call is recorded. Most people just want their job sorted, and that's what it does.

Is this a 24/7 answering service?

It answers the calls you miss, any hour, and emails you the details. You stay in control of the ones you take.

Do I have to change my phone number?

No. Calls you don't answer forward to your receptionist. Everything else stays the same.

What happens when I can answer?

Your phone rings like it always has. The receptionist only picks up the calls you miss.

What if a caller asks something it can't answer?

It takes a message, tells the caller you'll ring back, and flags it to you straight away.

How long does setup take?

Days, not months. Most builds are live within a week of the first chat.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. Month to month, 30 days notice, keep your number either way.

Let's talk about what's possible for your business

Whether you're ready to get started or still working out if this is a fit, we'd love to hear from you. No pressure, just a genuine conversation.

Some of the businesses we talk to have already started using AI tools like this. Others haven't touched anything yet, and that's just as fine a place to start from. Either way, we build around how you already run things, and only change what's actually holding you back.
