Checking in on workers who work alone.
Dusty makes AI voice welfare calls to miners, maritime workers, FIFO crews, and anyone working in isolation — detecting fatigue, distress, and risk before it becomes a crisis.

No app downloads. No forms. Just a phone call that could save a life.
Shift-Based Calls
Dusty calls your workers at the start or end of each shift — or at regular intervals for fly-in fly-out rosters. No app needed, just their phone.
Mood & Fatigue Detection
Voice analysis detects fatigue, distress, cognitive impairment and emotional decline. Dusty listens for what workers won't say in a form.
Supervisor Escalation
If Dusty detects risk — missed calls, declining mood trends, or safety keywords — your safety team gets an instant alert with full context.
Built for the hardest, most remote places on earth.
From the Pilbara to the Timor Sea — Dusty reaches workers where no one else can.

Kate is the agentic voice engine behind every persona.
Not a persona. Not a chatbot. Kate is the intelligence layer that makes every call purposeful, every insight actionable, and every outcome actionable. She is the reason this is more than an AI that makes phone calls.
What Kate does on every call
- Schedules the call at the right time for each person
- Selects the right persona (Mary, Jennie, Bloom, or any other)
- Loads full context from every previous conversation
- Configures the conversational pathway with branching logic, conditions, and guard rails
- Orchestrates the conversation in real time
- Receives emotional signals so the conversation adapts to mood in real time
- Triggers mid-call API actions: check a database, book an appointment, update a CRM record, send an SMS
- All while the person is still on the line
- Transcription and recording
- Routine analysis on cost-optimised local models
- Advanced reasoning through frontier models
- Emotional analysis (tone, sentiment, mood)
- Generates WHO-5 wellbeing scores, structured JSON data, and compliance evidence
What makes Kate different
Escalation and action
Escalation alerts to the care team. Family notifications through nonni.ai. CRM updates. Webhook pushes. Compliance evidence packs. Follow-up call scheduling.
Longitudinal intelligence
Kate maintains memory across calls. She tracks wellbeing trends over weeks and months. She detects a gradual mood decline over three weeks, increasing mentions of pain, growing isolation.
Multi-model architecture
The right model for each task. Routine analysis on cost-optimised local models. Advanced reasoning through frontier models. Emotional analysis through specialised voice models. Cost-optimised without compromising accuracy.
Cross-call memory
Every persona remembers. Margaret mentioned her daughter last Tuesday. John has been sleeping poorly for two weeks. Context carries forward automatically.
Conversational pathways
Node-based conversation flows with branching logic, conditions, and guard rails. The AI follows the pathway. Hallucination-proof. Safe by design.
Continuous compliance
Every call maps to the relevant quality standards. Evidence generates as a byproduct of caring, not as an admin task. Always audit-ready.
Your workers shouldn't have to struggle in silence.
