## What AiDial is good at

AiDial is the closest to Chirp in how it's delivered. Its team sets the agent up for you, and it does several things well.

- **It's set up for you.** AiDial maps your call types, business hours, escalation rules and integrations, then tests the agent with realistic calls and reviews it with your team before go-live. It says most standard setups are done within 1 day.
- **Your data stays in Australia.** AiDial says its platform runs only on Australian infrastructure, so calls, business data and AI conversations stay within Australian borders. That matters if you're in healthcare, legal, NDIS or finance.
- **A Compliance Pack for regulated teams.** For teams that must prove compliance, AiDial sells a Compliance Pack with 100% Australian data residency, no overseas AI model calls, seven-year call retention, PII redaction and immutable audit logs.
- **Detailed call transfers.** AiDial offers warm transfer with a full context briefing, cold transfer with fallback chains, and transfer to SIP, PSTN or mobile numbers, with set timeouts and retries if nobody picks up.
- **Named integrations.** AiDial lists Google Calendar, HubSpot, FluentCRM, Cliniko, Halaxy, Phorest, Simple Salon and ServiceM8, plus workflow tools such as n8n and Zapier.
- **It keeps an eye on calls after launch.** AiDial says it monitors calls after launch and refines the assistant from real call outcomes, with one small knowledge base update included each billing cycle.

**Who AiDial suits:** Australian businesses in healthcare, legal, NDIS and care, or financial services that need onshore data hosting and a managed build, and operators who want detailed, rules-based call routing and transfer.

## Where Chirp is different

Chirp is built for you too. Here's what our team does before go-live and every week after it.

- **Tuned every week, with a person in the loop.** Every Chirp call is scored. The misses surface, our team retrains the agent, tests the change against last week and ships it. That loop runs every week, and Chirp's resolution rate is rising about 1 point a month.
- **Built around how you handle calls.** Our Melbourne team maps your operating rules and writes them into the agent. It sorts emergencies from quotes, books the job and puts the call through to your office when it should. You're live in weeks.
- **Connected to any software you use.** Chirp works with more than 6,000 integrations, APIs and data connectors. If your software isn't on the list, our team builds a custom integration.
- **Backed by the Go-Live Guarantee.** Run Chirp live for 60 days. If it hasn't delivered for your business, your Build & Implementation Fee comes back.

### It gets better every week

Every AI receptionist gets things wrong. With Chirp, every call is scored, the misses surface on their own, and our team ships the fix that week.

Chirp resolves 80.3% of customer requests on average, up from 52.6% in June 2025, and rising about 1 point a month. That comes from the self-healing loop, which runs every week:

1. **Every call is scored.** Each conversation is measured against what good looks like for your business.
2. **The misses surface.** Analytics and observability show exactly where your agent fell short.
3. **The agent is retrained.** Our team makes the fix. A person is in the loop every week.
4. **The change is tested.** This week's agent is measured against last week's before anything ships.
5. **It ships, and the loop runs again.** Your agent this month is better than your agent last month.
