Add-on · For Voice Starter & Business

Phone Line add-on

A real phone number that answers calls. Customers phone in and speak to your assistant — so calls after hours, over weekends or while you’re busy still get answered.

+R750 per month

+ R2,500 once-off setup

150 phone minutes included · extra R6 per minute

Minutes & overage: every voice plan includes a monthly bundle of minutes. Go over and extra minutes are billed at R4.50 per minute on your website (R6 per minute on the Phone Line) — or your assistant politely points customers to your WhatsApp instead. You choose, so there are no surprise bills. Upgrade any time and pay only the difference in setup.

How it’s delivered

01

One copy-paste snippet

We give you one small snippet for your website — just like adding a chat widget. Works on most website builders and custom sites.

02

Talks in the browser

Visitors tap to talk and speak naturally — no app or download. Your site needs HTTPS (the padlock) so the browser can use the microphone.

03

Locked to your domain

Your assistant only runs on your own website, so nobody else can use it — or your minutes.

04

Managed by Annum8

Setup, hosting and monthly care are included. No tech skills needed — we set it up and keep it running smoothly.

Voice assistant FAQs

What’s an AI voice assistant?

It’s an assistant on your website that customers can talk to out loud, a bit like a phone call right in the browser. It’s trained on your business info — services, prices, opening hours and FAQs — so it answers instantly, day or night, and passes leads to your WhatsApp or email. The Annum8 voice assistant is set up, hosted and looked after by Annum8.

Does the Annum8 voice assistant work on my current website?

Almost certainly. Annum8 gives you one copy-paste snippet to add to your website — just like adding a chat widget — and it works on most website builders and custom sites. It’s locked to your domain so it only runs on your site. Your site needs HTTPS (the padlock in the address bar) so browsers allow the microphone; if it doesn’t have that yet, Annum8 will help you sort it out.

What if I don’t have a website?

Annum8 can set you up with a hosted link page with your assistant on it — share the link on WhatsApp, social media, flyers or your email signature. Annum8 websites also start from R2,500.

What happens if we go over our voice minutes?

Voice Starter (R1,299 per month) includes 100 voice minutes a month and Voice Business (R1,999 per month) includes 300. Extra website minutes are R4.50 each. The Phone Line add-on (R750 per month) includes 150 phone minutes a month, with extra minutes at R6 each. Prefer a hard cap? Once your minutes are used up, your assistant can politely point customers to your WhatsApp instead, so there are no surprise bills.

How much does an AI voice assistant cost in South Africa with Annum8?

Annum8’s ladder starts with the Chat Assistant at R2,500 once-off setup + R899 per month.
