Trillet for local government

Resolve every resident conversation end‑to‑end

AI that handles enquiries, service requests, rates and payments — across voice, SMS and chat — with full audit trails and direct action in your systems.

The real challenges in resident services

Residents expect immediate answers. Councils face limited staff hours, after-hours gaps, and high volumes of routine enquiries — with staff time consumed by repetitive admin instead of complex cases.

Missed calls, long hold times and incomplete follow-ups create abandoned requests and slower resolution times.

There’s a big tree down right across the path in Marsden Reserve — nobody can get past it.

AI agent

I’ve logged it to parks and flagged it as blocking access, so it goes out as urgent. I’ll text you the reference.

I can’t pay the whole rates notice this quarter. Is there any way around it?

AI agent

We can set up an instalment arrangement. Would fortnightly payments be easier?

There’s water coming up through the road right outside my place.

Frequently asked questions

  • Trillet connects directly to the CRM, case management, rates, telephony and service request systems you already run — including core council platforms such as TechnologyOne OneCouncil, Civica Authority and Infor Pathway. Additional systems are connected through your system’s API during onboarding. No parallel systems, no double entry.

  • Every call is answered outside business hours and during peak periods — no voicemail, no missed calls. Urgent matters are escalated according to your rules, so an after-hours report that needs an on-call crew goes to them immediately rather than waiting in a morning queue, with the full interaction preserved in the audit trail.

  • Yes. Call recordings, transcripts and backups all reside in Australia, and Trillet is Australian owned. For organisations that require it, LLM inference can also be hosted in Australia — ask about in-country hosting during onboarding. On-premise and private cloud deployment are also available.

  • Yes. The same agent handles voice, SMS and web chat, so a resident can start an enquiry on one channel and the interaction is logged consistently across all of them — with the same audit trail and the same actions written into your systems.
