Questions owners usually ask
Do I have to move my whole business onto Aroha on day one?
No. Start by letting Aroha Calls + Aroha Bookings handle new bookings. You can keep your old system in the background while you get comfortable.
Does the AI replace my staff?
No. It takes the boring phone and booking admin off their plate. You still run the business — it just stops the constant interruptions.
What happens if the AI is unsure?
You control the rules. For edge cases or certain keywords (like ‘complaint’ or ‘refund’), it can escalate to a human or simply draft a reply for you to approve.
Can I stop at any time?
Yes. Billing is month-to-month via arohacalls.com. No long contracts, no nonsense.
