The cheapest hire you will ever make.
What is an AI employee, and what can it actually do?
An AI employee handles a job end to end rather than answering a single question. Leadmend AI reads each enquiry a business receives, decides what the work is and how urgent it is, replies in that business's own voice within about fifteen seconds, and captures the details the owner needs to quote. It is free for 14 days, then $99 USD a month.
Whatever a part-time admin costs where you are, they still go home at five. The work that actually gets lost is not complicated — it is reading an enquiry, understanding it, answering it properly and making sure somebody follows up. That is the job, and it now runs itself.
The difference between a chatbot and an employee
A chatbot answers a question. An employee finishes a task — and that gap is the entire reason the category renamed itself.
- Reads the enquiry properly instead of pattern-matching a keyword
- Works out what the job is, what it is worth and how urgent it is
- Answers in the business's own voice, not a generic support tone
- Knows when it is out of its depth and hands over rather than guessing
What it costs against the alternative
The comparison people actually make is not against other software. It is against a person, or against nothing. We will not print a salary figure for you — what an admin costs depends on your country, your hours and your luck, and you already know the number better than a landing page does.
- A part-time admin: your local wage, weekday daytime, and away when they are away
- An answering service: a monthly fee, and a stranger working from what you gave them
- Leadmend AI: $99 USD a month, every hour of every day
- One recovered job usually covers the year
What it does not do, stated plainly
It does not answer live phone calls, and it will not quote a price or commit to a time on the business's behalf — those are the owner's to give. Leadmend works in writing only, on every plan; the phone stays with the business. Web and form enquiries are answered today on Starter.
Where these claims are checked
Nothing on this page asks to be taken on trust. The rules the reply engine follows — never quoting a price, never promising a time, never claiming to be a person — are put under messages written to break them, thirty times each, and the last run is published rule by rule, including anything that did not hold. Every routine writes out what it will do before it runs, and you can switch a setting off and watch our own demo break. The speed on this page is measured the same way — every timed call is published, with the date and the spread rather than a rounded word.
