AI customer support agents that resolve tickets autonomously - not script-driven chatbots.
AI Chatbot Services For Australian Businesses A Remote Dedicated Developer
A remote mid-to-senior developer who builds and runs your AI chatbot through your Australian afternoon: answers drawn only from your approved content, data kept in Sydney or Melbourne, Privacy Act handling built in, and handoff to your team inside business hours. Invoiced monthly in AUD, with no super or payroll tax.
AI Chatbots From Empiric Infotech LLP
Empiric Infotech LLP provides AI chatbot services to Australian businesses through a remote dedicated developer: one mid-to-senior engineer, or a small dedicated team, who builds your chatbot and keeps improving it while it runs. Your developer overlaps three and a half hours of your afternoon, 2:00 to 5:30 PM AEST, and stays online until midnight AEST, so a wrong answer reported after lunch is usually fixed the same day. Australian chatbots raise specific questions, and the build answers them. Under the Privacy Act, sending chat data to a model provider overseas can count as a cross-border disclosure that your privacy policy has to cover, so data and model endpoints stay in Australian regions where the provider offers them. Under the Australian Consumer Law, a chatbot that invents a refund rule is speaking for your business, so answers about refunds, warranties and pricing come only from your approved policy pages. SMS follow-ups fall under the Spam Act. You are invoiced monthly in AUD, with no superannuation, payroll tax or Fair Work obligations because the developer is not your employee, and a senior team lead reviews and tests every release. Our Australian work includes Architecture CRM, built by a single dedicated developer.
What our AI chatbot services deliver for Australian businesses
A chatbot that answers from what you have approved, keeps Australian data onshore where you need it, and has a developer behind it every afternoon.
Answers only from approved content
Retrieval over your help centre, product pages, policy documents and resolved tickets, with the source linked on every answer. Questions about refunds, warranties, delivery times and pricing are answered from your approved policy pages or passed to a person, because those answers carry Australian Consumer Law weight.
Data kept in Australia
Vector store, transcripts and logs in AWS Sydney or Melbourne, Azure Australia East or Google Cloud Sydney, with model endpoints in Australian regions where the provider offers them, such as Azure OpenAI in Australia East. Where a model runs offshore, it is documented for your privacy policy.
Privacy Act handling in the product
Personal information masked before it reaches logs or prompts, transcripts kept only as long as your retention policy says, and access and correction requests your team can run. The audit trail also shows quickly what a conversation exposed if you ever assess a breach under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.
The systems Australian teams run
Zendesk, Freshdesk, Intercom or HubSpot for handoff, Shopify for order look-ups, Xero for invoice questions, Cliniko for allied health bookings, and Confluence, SharePoint or Google Drive as knowledge sources.
SMS follow-ups under the Spam Act
When the chatbot texts a link or a booking confirmation through Twilio, the message identifies your business, includes an unsubscribe option and goes only to people who consented, as the Spam Act requires, with opt-outs synced back to your CRM.
A developer on Australian time
Your developer's day covers your afternoon and evening, so content updates and model changes can go live after close of business with someone online to watch them, and handoff rules follow AEST, ACST or AWST business hours.
How an Australian chatbot engagement starts
A developer answering real questions from your content within the first week, working through your afternoon.
A call after lunch
Thirty minutes in your afternoon on AEST, or late morning for Perth. We look at your support volume, where your content lives, your helpdesk and any data that must stay in Australia.
A written scope within 24 hours
The questions the chatbot will answer first, the sources, the channel, the handoff rules and the hosting region, with an introduction to one developer who fits. The NDA and IP assignment are signed first.
A 7-day risk-free trial
Your developer starts within 48 hours. By day 7 the chatbot answers a first slice of real questions with sources, and you decide, with a full refund if it is not a fit.
Monthly, invoiced in AUD
One AUD invoice a month, paid by BPAY, direct EFT or wire and issued without GST, so you self-assess. No super, payroll tax or Fair Work obligations, and seven days' notice to stop.
AI chatbot pricing for Australian businesses
Both plans are invoiced in AUD and issued without GST, and both include a senior team lead who reviews and tests every release. Monthly gives you a developer for 160 to 172 hours of full-time work on your chatbot, billed monthly upfront, with a 7-day risk-free trial. Hourly covers a defined task, such as moving hosting to Sydney, adding SMS or running an evaluation pass. The hourly rate for AI work is above our standard Australian rate because retrieval tuning is short, specialist work; the monthly rate is the same as for any dedicated developer. Model and hosting usage stays on your own accounts at cost.
Hourly plan
- An AI developer reserved for your booked hours
- Suits an onshore hosting move, an SMS channel or an evaluation pass
- A weekly time report and demo
- Works in your Australian cloud and model accounts
- Paid by BPAY, direct EFT or wire
Monthly plan
- 160 to 172 hours a month of full-time work on your chatbot
- Live 2:00 to 5:30 PM AEST, online until midnight AEST
- Content, policy and model updates as your business changes
- No super, payroll tax or Fair Work obligations
- 7-day risk-free trial, seven days' notice to stop
Dedicated team
- Developers plus a senior team lead who reviews and tests every release
- Separate developers for customer chat and an internal staff assistant
- A UI/UX designer for the widget at the same monthly rate
- New developers start within 48 hours
The first 90 days of a chatbot with an Australian team
Run through your afternoons, with the overnight work waiting each morning.
- Week 1
Access, hosting region and a first slice
Access to your help centre and helpdesk, the hosting region agreed, approved policy pages tagged, and the chatbot answering a first slice of real questions with sources. Day 7 is the trial decision.
- Month 1
Live on your website
The chatbot goes live for a share of traffic you choose, with handoff into your helpdesk during your business hours, refund and warranty answers locked to approved pages, and a weekly review of the questions it missed.
- Month 2
SMS and the systems behind support
Order or booking look-ups through Shopify, Xero or Cliniko where they save a ticket, SMS follow-ups with Spam Act opt-outs, and access and correction requests your team can run.
- Month 3
A second channel and a cost review
An internal staff assistant or a second brand on the same platform, model options tested against your evaluation set, and the next quarter planned with your support lead.
A dedicated chatbot developer vs an Australian chatbot agency, a chatbot platform, or an in-house hire
| Empiric Infotech (remote dedicated developer) | Australian chatbot agency (fixed price) | Chatbot platform you configure | In-house hire in Australia | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Where the data sits | Your Australian cloud region; any offshore model use documented for your privacy policy | Per agency; ask where it hosts | The vendor's regions, often overseas | Your own infrastructure |
| Answers about refunds and warranties | Only from approved policy pages, or passed to a person | To the agreed spec | Depends on how you configure it | As your team designs it |
| Who keeps it accurate | One developer on your chatbot, plus a senior team lead | A project team that moves on after launch | Your support staff, inside the vendor's settings | Your employee |
| Employment costs | None: no super, payroll tax or Fair Work obligations | None | None | Salary, super, payroll tax, leave |
| Time to start | 48 hours | Weeks: proposal, statement of work, kickoff | Days to sign up, weeks to load content | Months of hiring |
| Overlap with your day | 3.5 live hours in your afternoon, developers online until midnight AEST | Local hours | The vendor's support hours | Your full day |
| Invoicing | One AUD invoice a month, issued without GST; BPAY, direct EFT or wire | Per agency terms, with GST | A subscription, often in USD | Payroll |
The comparison describes how each option usually works, not any one provider. Model and hosting usage is a cost in every option; with us it stays on your own accounts.

Why Australian businesses use a dedicated chatbot developer
Experienced AI engineers in Sydney and Melbourne are hard to hire and harder to keep, and a fixed-price agency covers the launch of a chatbot that will need changing every time a policy, price or product does. A dedicated developer covers both: one engineer who builds the chatbot and then keeps it accurate.
The time zones work better than most teams expect. Your developer overlaps 2:00 to 5:30 PM AEST for the standup and live reviews and stays online until midnight AEST, which means content fixes and releases can happen after close of business with someone watching. Perth teams get 12:00 noon to 10:00 PM AWST.
Because the developer is not your employee, there is no superannuation, payroll tax or Fair Work process on your side. You own the code, the index and the accounts from day one, a senior team lead reviews and tests each release, and you can stop with seven days' notice.

Frequently asked questions
A chatbot that answers from your approved content and the developer who runs it. Empiric Infotech builds the retrieval, the website or in-app chat, handoff into your helpdesk, SMS follow-ups where you want them and onshore hosting, through a remote dedicated developer whose work a senior team lead reviews and tests before every release.
A flat monthly fee per dedicated developer in AUD for 160 to 172 hours of full-time work, or an hourly rate for a defined task; current rates are in the pricing section above. Superannuation, payroll tax and Fair Work obligations stay off your books, and model usage is billed to your own accounts at cost.
Three and a half hours of live overlap, 2:00 to 5:30 PM AEST, and developers stay online until midnight AEST, so issues raised after lunch are usually handled the same day. Perth teams get 12:00 noon to 10:00 PM AWST, and the project manager is available from noon AEST.
Yes. The vector store, transcripts and logs sit in your own AWS, Azure or Google Cloud account in Sydney or Melbourne, and model endpoints run in Australian regions where the provider offers them. Any model call that leaves Australia is documented so your privacy policy can disclose it.
It covers the personal information your chatbot collects and where that information goes. We build to the Australian Privacy Principles: collect only what the conversation needs, mask personal details before they reach logs or prompts, keep transcripts only as long as your policy says, record any overseas disclosure, and give your team a way to handle access and correction requests.
Yes, when those answers come only from your approved policy pages. The chatbot quotes the page and links to it, hands borderline cases to a person, and every change to a policy page is re-tested before release, so it states your terms exactly as written.
One invoice a month in AUD, paid by BPAY, direct EFT or international wire. Empiric Infotech LLP is established outside Australia, so invoices are issued without GST and you self-assess under ATO rules.
Yes. Order and invoice look-ups run through Shopify or Xero, booking questions through Cliniko, and handoffs land in Zendesk, Freshdesk, Intercom or HubSpot with the transcript attached. Knowledge can come from Confluence, SharePoint, Google Drive or your help centre.
Yes. Architecture CRM, which brings tasks, email, calendars and contacts into one place with Google and Microsoft integrations, was built by a single dedicated developer, and Acceleread, a speed-reading training app, by a two-developer team. Across the Tasman, DRT is a training app for riders in New Zealand.
You do, from the first day. Your NDA and IP assignment come before any work, the code sits in your repository, and the index, transcripts and model accounts are yours, so you can stop with seven days' notice and keep everything.
