Replace the manual, not the people
A genie that walks your customers through how the gear works, handles breakdowns and damage in the moment, and answers the same operating questions a hundred times a day so your counter team can serve the people in front of them.
Free to start · No card required
Your customers need support in many different ways. Help Genie covers them all.
It just handles it.
Talk to it. Out loud.
Ask it something awkward. It answers in about two seconds, in your voice, from what your business actually knows. No hold music, no menu tree, no "your call is important to us".
- Answers 50 callers at once, all with the same answers.
- Trained on your manuals, pricing, hours and stock.
- Hands over to a human the moment it should.
"Which wire goes to the blue terminal?"
Blue takes the neutral. Brown to live, green and yellow to earth. Page 12 of the install guide.
Answered in 1.8 seconds
Or type, if you would rather.
Same genie, same conversation, same knowledge. Not a second product, not a second knowledge base, not a second bill. It meets people however they turn up.
- Switch from voice mid-conversation. It keeps the thread.
- Reads back links, part numbers and steps you can copy.
- Same answers as the phone line, because it is the same genie.
Your number. Anywhere.
Bring the number you already advertise, or take a new one. Local or toll-free, provisioned in minutes, answered from the first ring.
The New Zealand line is live right now. Ring it and it picks up.
Would rather we rang you?
Some people do not want to type, and do not want to wait on hold. Leave a number and we ring you back, at a time that suits, about your business and what a genie would do in it.
- No queue, no hold, no form that goes nowhere.
- A real conversation about your setup, not a script.
- Or ring us first on +64 9 886 4856.
Point your phone at that.
The same genie opens in your hand. That is exactly what your customer does when they scan the sticker on the machine, the warranty card, or the back of the door. No app, no signup, no manual.
- Print it on anything you ship.
- Update the answers once. Every sticker in the field is current.
- The code never changes, so old print stays good.
One line, on your site.
Drop this in and the genie is on every page, branded to your site, answering before a visitor thinks about leaving. It is the live-chat widget you already pay monthly for, except nobody has to be at a desk.

A support page of your own.
Every genie gets its own hosted page, live on the web from the day you build it. Put it on your invoices, your packaging, your email footer, your Google listing. It is a whole support site without a support site.
Nothing to host, nothing to maintain, nothing to redeploy when an answer changes.

What your equipment genie does
Three jobs, handled the moment a customer reaches out.
How-To & Operating Support
Customers call mid-job asking how to use the equipment. Your Genie walks them through it instead of pulling staff off the counter.
Damage & Incident Reporting
Capture the story, the photos, and the details the moment something happens, not three days later when memory has faded.
Returns, Pickups & Extensions
Customers want to extend, swap, or arrange a pickup. Your Genie books it without anyone touching the phone.
“Our staff used to spend half their day explaining how to start a skid steer. The Genie does it now and our team is actually serving people who walk into the yard.”
Your Counter Never Closes
When a customer calls asking how to start a skid steer at 7 AM, or reports a breakdown on a Saturday, your Genie is there. Walking them through it, capturing what needs capturing, and keeping the work moving.
Always Answering
The same questions handled the same way every time, day or night.
Always Resolving
Breakdowns triaged and fixed before anyone has to leave home.
Always Capturing
Bookings, extensions, and incidents logged in real time, not the next morning.
Want the detail?
Everything Help Genie does for equipment
The challenges, the full application list, integrations, and FAQs — for when you want to dig in.
Challenges You Face
These are the problems your customers deal with every day — and what Help Genie solves.
Same Questions, All Day Every Day
High ImpactCounter and yard staff lose hours a day walking customers through the same operating instructions, fuel types, and start-up procedures.
After Hours Breakdowns
High ImpactEquipment fails on a Saturday job site and the customer cannot reach anyone. They escalate, leave bad reviews, or do not book again.
Late or Lost Damage Information
Damage gets reported days after it happened, photos are missing, and the story changes. Insurance claims get messy and so do invoices.
Booking Drop-Off After Hours
Tradies and project managers plan jobs in the evening. If you only take bookings 8-5, you miss the moment they are ready to commit.

Common Questions
01Can the Genie handle questions about specific brands and models?
Yes. Help Genie can be trained on your specific fleet, including brand and model-level start-up procedures, fuel and lubricant requirements, common error indicators, and safety steps. Customers get the same answers your best counter staff would give.
02How does it handle damage reports and incidents?
The Genie walks the caller through what happened, captures the key details, prompts for photos or video uploads, and routes serious incidents to a manager. The full record lands in your system before the gear is even back on the truck.
03Will it integrate with our rental management software?
Yes. Help Genie connects with rental and hire platforms like Point of Rental, Texada, and InspHire, plus accounting and CRM tools, so bookings, extensions, and returns flow into the systems you already use.
04Can I customize how my Genie speaks and acts?
Absolutely. Choose from dozens of natural-sounding voices, set the tone — professional, friendly, or somewhere in between — define personality traits that match your brand, and customize greetings and conversation style.
05How do I add knowledge and keep it updated?
Upload PDFs, docs, or paste text directly — your Genie learns your business instantly. Update anytime and changes apply immediately. No technical skills required.
06How do I access my lead information?
Your way. View a real-time dashboard with all conversation details, get instant SMS alerts for new leads, receive email summaries with full transcripts, or export data anytime you need it.
07Can I transfer calls to a human?
Yes. Define what triggers a transfer, route to specific team members or departments, set up on-call schedules, and enjoy warm handoffs with full context provided.
08Can I use my existing business phone number?
Yes. Your customers call the same number they always have. Help Genie integrates seamlessly with your current phone system — no need to change your business cards or website.
