You should be running your business not letting it run you.
AI-powered lead management for trades, professionals and service businesses. Turning more enquiries into booked work, so you never miss a lead.
Your best people are buried in work a machine should be doing.
For most small businesses the bottleneck isn't talent or demand. It's the steady drip of repetitive tasks that swallow the working week and never quite get done on time.
Enquiries go cold
Leads message after hours or during a busy stretch, wait too long for a reply, and book with whoever answered first.
Admin eats the day
Quoting, scheduling, chasing invoices, copying data between systems, hours every week that bill nothing and burn out good staff.
Nothing scales
Growth means more manual work, more headcount, more things slipping through. The model breaks exactly when it should be paying off.
How much is the leak actually costing you?
Punch in three numbers, then hit calculate to see roughly what missed calls, slow follow-up and no-shows are costing you each month.
Pop in all three numbers, then hit calculate to see your estimate.
Estimates only, based on the figures you enter and a standard 4.33 weeks/month conversion, not a guarantee. We'll refine the real number with you on a call.

We help trades, professionals, service businesses and growing teams capture more leads, win more work, and get their time back, through AI systems that run while you do what you do best.

A clear line from messy to done.
A deliberately simple engagement. You see exactly what's happening at every step, and you're never left holding a black box.
Map
We sit with you, trace where time actually goes, and pin down the one or two workflows worth automating first.
Build
We build and test the automation against your real data, refine it with you, and roll it out without disrupting the day-to-day.
Run
We monitor, maintain and tune it on an ongoing basis, and look for the next line worth clearing.
The first to reply usually wins the job.
Most leads aren't lost on price. They're lost in the gap between when someone reaches out and when they hear back. That gap is exactly what Clearline closes.

Why operators choose us over the alternatives.
Most businesses weigh up a few options when leads start slipping. Here's honestly how Clearline stacks up against each one.
| Feature | Clearline AI | Doing it yourself | DIY software (HubSpot, etc.) | Answering service |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Responds in seconds, 24/7 | Always on | Only when you're free | Only if you build & maintain it | Usually business hours |
| Done for you | We build & run it | It's all on you | You set it up & manage it | Staffed, but you brief them |
| Built around your workflow | Mapped to how you work | Generic templates | Script-based | |
| Qualifies & books the job | Straight to your diary | Manual | Depends on your setup | Takes a message |
| Local accountability | AU veteran owned | Global vendor support | Varies | |
| Ongoing tuning & support | We stay on the hook | No | You maintain it | No optimisation |
| Cost when you get busy | Usage included | Costs you the job | Metered per message | Billed per call or minute |
| Adds headcount or hours | Neither | Costs your time | Costs your time | Ongoing wage cost |
A straight comparison of approaches, not a knock on any tool. The right answer depends on your business; this is simply how Clearline is built differently.
Where to start
Two ways in. We’ll scope the rest with you.
One question decides where you start: do you want the phone answered, or your text channels covered? Everything past that we work out together.
Text channels
Every web enquiry, text and missed call answered in seconds, qualified, and booked into your diary.
- Someone messages at 9pm, they get a reply at 9pm
- A call that rings out comes back as a text conversation
- Jobs land in your calendar without you stopping work
- Quotes chased so they don’t go quiet
Scoped to your operationCall & message usage included · quoted after a scoping call
Text + phone answered
Everything on the left, plus your phone answered around the clock by an AI voice agent in a natural Australian voice.
- No call rings out, including at 2am on a Sunday
- Callers qualified and booked while still on the phone
- Messages taken, with an instant heads-up to you
- Call flows built around how your business actually runs
Scoped to your operationCall & message usage included · quoted after a scoping call
Both are scoped around your operation, not off a template, so there is no price list to fit yourself into. Your call and message usage is built into the plan rather than billed on top, which is the opposite of how most answering services and SMS tools work. We’ll work out which direction fits and what it costs on a short call. How pricing works →

All posts →AI should give you your evenings back, not take your team's jobs
A missed call leaves evidence you can count. An unanswered email leaves none at all, which is why the inbox is the least managed channel in most trades and service businesses, and for once the research measures exactly this channel.

Veteran-owned. Built on getting it done.
Clearline AI is 100% Australian veteran owned and operated, founded on a simple conviction: good operators deserve to run their business, not be run by it.
That comes from two decades leading operations and engineering teams across military and commercial aviation, defence and industry, environments where things have to work the first time, every time. The same discipline goes into every system we build: reliable, accountable, and built to a standard, not a demo that falls over in week two.
You get straight answers, a clear plan, and someone who stays on the hook for the result. We don't win until you do.
Based in Melbourne, working with trades, professionals and service businesses across Australia.
