Demonstration lines only. Nothing you book or cancel is real.

What she does

Four things, switched on
one at a time.

Each module works on its own and is priced for a small office, not an enterprise. Start with the one that hurts most.

Aria Voicemail — the safety net

After hours and on overflow she takes a structured message with the caller's details, instead of leaving them in a message bank nobody checks. She is designed to recognise urgency and direct anyone describing an emergency to 000. From 55c a call — you only pay when she takes a message.

Aria Queue Manager — she answers live

Everything in Voicemail, plus she picks up in the queue when reception cannot: answering, booking, taking messages and escalating to your team in real time. The 8:31am rush gets a second receptionist who never calls in sick. From 65c a call — you only pay for the calls she answers.

Aria Scribe — notes for review

One button on the desk phone records a consult or a client call and writes it up for review: SOAP notes for a clinician, a time-stamped attendance note for a solicitor. One product, two examples. Any language in, English notes out. Notes copy out for the clinician or solicitor to paste into their system. We can connect Aria to most practice and matter systems on request — we only name a connector here once it is live. From $199 a month for the whole practice or firm — every clinician or fee earner included.

Aria X-Fax Intelligence — reads the fax pile

Aria reads every inbound fax, identifies the patient and the document type, and files it against the right record, so reception checks her work instead of doing it. Pairs with X-Fax cloud fax; the medical workflow is on the medical page. From $60 a month on top of X-Fax.

Who she is for

Built for healthcare.
At home in any busy office.

Aria was built around the medical reception desk — twelve calls at once, a nurse chairside, an on-call roster after hours — and the same modules now run in law firms and ordinary small offices. Each has its own page; this one stays short.

What Aria does not do

Her limits, in plain words.

Aria is a triage and documentation aid. She does not diagnose, and she does not identify every emergency. She does not give legal advice and does not create a retainer. Notes are reviewed by the clinician or solicitor before they enter a record or a file. Recording requires consent. She works beside the team — never instead of professional judgement. Anyone describing an emergency or safety risk is told to call 000.

Cross-call questions — "how many callers asked about flu shots in August?" — are opt-in, limited to the people your practice or firm nominates, and the underlying audio stays in Australia under your policy.

Hosting and privacy

Australian servers.
Pear's own infrastructure.

Australian Made

Australian owned. Built and hosted here.

Aria is built by Pear's own team in Australia. Voice, voicemail, call recordings and Aria's processing are hosted in Australia on infrastructure Pear operates — not passed through an offshore platform.

Built to the Privacy Act

Designed to the Australian Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles, with recording only where consent has been given.

CyberCert SMB1001 Gold Level 3 certified

CyberCert SMB1001 Gold

Pear holds CyberCert SMB1001 Gold certification across the platform your phones, fax and Aria run on.

Your audio is not training data

Pear does not use customer call audio to train public models. Your recordings are yours, under your retention policy.

How it sits on Hosted-X

Built into the phone system —
not bolted on.

One platform, one support team.

Every Aria module — safe voicemail, queue answering, call notes, fax reading — is part of the same Pear platform as your Hosted-X cloud PBX. Switch one on when the office is ready; there is no third-party software to install, no extra vendor to manage, and one Australian support team for all of it. New Aria features arrive as platform updates.

Frequently asked questions.

What is Aria?
Aria is Pear's AI receptionist. She runs on the same Australian platform as the Hosted-X phone system and answers when the desk cannot — overflow, lunch and after hours — taking a structured message or a live booking. Her modules are switched on one at a time: voicemail, queue answering, call notes and fax reading.
Does Aria replace a receptionist?
No. Aria works beside the team. She takes the calls that would otherwise ring out or land in a message bank, and she hands anything that needs a person to a person. She does not make clinical or legal decisions.
Is Aria only for medical practices?
No. Healthcare is where she was built and where most of her customers are, but the same modules run in law firms and ordinary small offices. Aria Scribe writes SOAP notes for a clinician and attendance notes for a solicitor — one product, two examples.
How much does Aria cost?
Aria Voicemail is from 55c a call — you only pay when she takes a message. Aria Queue Manager is from 65c a call. Aria Scribe is from $199 a month for the whole practice or firm, every clinician or fee earner included. X-Fax Intelligence is from $60 a month on top of X-Fax. All month-to-month, on top of a Hosted-X phone system.
Are calls and notes stored in Australia?
Yes. Voice, voicemail, call recordings and Aria's processing are hosted in Australia on infrastructure Pear operates, built to the Australian Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles. Pear is CyberCert SMB1001 Gold certified and does not use customer call audio to train public models.
Does Aria call 000 or give legal advice?
Aria does not call 000 herself, does not diagnose, does not identify every emergency, and does not give legal advice or create a retainer. Anyone describing an emergency or safety risk is told to call 000. She is a triage and documentation aid that works beside professional judgement, never instead of it.
Do we need Hosted-X first?
Yes. Aria is built into the Hosted-X cloud PBX rather than bolted on from another vendor, so she needs the phone system underneath her. Most offices switch the phones first — with a 30-day test drive — and turn Aria's modules on once the desk is ready.
Is there a contract?
No. Everything is month-to-month — just tell us before the 27th of any month — covered by Pear's 90-day Love Us or Leave Us guarantee. Per-call modules only bill when Aria takes a call.
