Australian Power

TaskDriver.ai built a custom WhatsApp automation that runs the full quote journey: collecting bills and installation photos, generating quotes via API, and completing payment through their website, so the team spends less time chasing information and more time on installs.

Australian Power is a solar and energy installer in Australia. This page is a case study of the WhatsApp quote automation TaskDriver.ai built for them — bill and photo capture, API-generated quotes, and payment on their own site.

TaskDriver.ai is an AI automation and web studio in Auckland, New Zealand. We build workflow automation, chatbots, CRM integrations and websites for small and mid-sized businesses across New Zealand and Australia — fixed scope, no retainers.

The challenge

Quoting required a lot of back-and-forth: asking customers for usage bills, installation site photos, and other details, then manually turning that into a quote and payment. That workload didn't scale as enquiry volume grew.

What we built

  • WhatsApp quote bot: a guided conversation that automates the quote process end-to-end.
  • Document & photo capture so customers can send bills and installation photos in-thread, reducing manual follow-ups.
  • Website integration: quotes created through APIs connected to their site so customers can review and complete payment in one flow.

See it in action

Screen recording works best for WhatsApp demos: show a test number, the conversation flow, and (if allowed) the quote/payment step on the website. Blur any real customer data.

Impact

By moving quote intake and document collection into WhatsApp and connecting quotes to the website checkout, the team spends less time on admin and customers get a faster, clearer path from enquiry to payment.

Want the same build? Here is how it works

The answers people ask for before they book — cost, timeline, ownership, and what happens when something breaks.

What does it cost?
Fixed scope, quoted in writing before anything starts. An ops teardown is $250 AUD (45-minute call plus a written automation plan, credited toward any build). A one-week automation sprint is $990 AUD. Larger systems usually land between $2k–$4k AUD. No retainers, no hourly billing.
How long does it take from first contact to go-live?
A teardown call is usually booked within a few days. A sprint is one week end to end. Chatbots typically go live in 1–2 weeks; larger workflow systems in 4–8 weeks. You get dated milestones in writing before work starts.
What happens after launch — do you keep running it, or do I take over?
You own it. Everything runs in your accounts, on your keys, and we hand over the code, the docs and the logins at the end of the build. Nothing is locked to us.
If something breaks or needs a tweak, how is that handled and at what cost?
Anything we built that breaks is fixed free for 30 days after handover. After that, fixes are quoted per job or covered by an optional monthly care plan — your choice, and never a condition of the build. New scope is quoted as a new fixed-scope sprint.
How much of my time does this take?
About two hours in total: one 45-minute call, giving us access to the tools involved, and one review round before go-live. We do the rest.
What proof do you have that this works?
Named, checkable builds rather than anonymous case studies: Ebb (Stripe revenue recovery), Australian Power (WhatsApp quote automation), Second to None (painting and renovation ops), Invest With Alison (financial-education funnel) and an AI tools directory. Each one is written up on this site with what was built and what changed.
