    Create your account

    Sign up at Curki.ai and verify your email.

  3. 3

    Set your ranking rules

    Choose how Will weighs cost, distance, continuity and skills, then set SMS templates, cut-off timers and escalation rules.

  4. 4

    Fill your first gap

What changes with Will AI

Before

A sick call arrives at 7:00am. Rostering spends 1–2 hours calling and texting workers and books whoever answers first, often someone who triggers penalties. Participants find out late.

  • Hours of phone tag and manual texting
  • Booking whoever answers, not who fits best
  • The same preferred staff on premium-rate shifts
  • Participants finding out about changes late

With Will AI

Enter the gap in Curki.ai. Will ranks the top candidates by skills, location, rate risk and continuity, sends SMS invites and presents the first valid “YES” to you for confirmation. The shift is covered quickly, at the lowest feasible cost.

“Stop choosing between filling the shift and protecting margin. Will finds the person who solves both.”

What Will delivers

  • Fill gaps in about 2 minutes

    Instead of hours of phone tag and manual texting.

  • Reduce overtime and penalties

    Staff who can work at standard rates are prioritised.

  • Lower travel cost

    Match the staff closest to the participant or to their previous shift.

  • Fairer shift distribution

    Less burnout from constant emergency calls helps retention.

  • Reliable coverage

    Escalates through tiers until the shift is filled, with your approval.

  • A clear outreach record

    Who was contacted, when, and why they were ranked or selected.

Key capabilities

What Will can do for your team.

  • 01

    Smart staff ranking

    Scores staff by availability, skills and credentials, distance, continuity, preferences and overtime risk.

  • 02

    Two-way SMS invites

    Sends YES/NO job offers to a short list, like the top 5, instead of spamming everyone.

  • 03

    Human approval

    Will recommends and validates; a rostering manager confirms before the shift is assigned.

  • 04

    Skills filtering

    Excludes staff without required tags such as manual handling, hoist or PEG feeding.

Group 1 of 2

Will at work

  • Scenario 01

    The morning sick call

    A cancellation arrives two hours before a shift. Will finds a nearby, qualified worker with no overtime risk, sends an SMS invite and secures cover quickly.

  • Scenario 02

    The expensive habit

    A coordinator keeps choosing the same staff member, who is often in penalty windows. Will ranks an equally qualified, lower-cost staff member higher, protecting margin.

  • Scenario 03

    The skills match

    A high-needs participant requires PEG feeding. Will filters out anyone without the tag, preventing a mismatch before it happens.

Asks before it assumes. Knows its limits.

When Will is unsure

  • No replies

    “I contacted the top 5 candidates with no response in 15 minutes. Want to widen the radius, extend to the next tier, or allow higher-cost windows?”

  • Conflicts

    “This staff member replied YES, but appears to have a conflicting shift or unavailability flag. Please confirm before assignment.”

  • Missing skill tags

    “This participant requires PEG feeding. Several staff profiles are missing this tag. Do you want to update tags or widen the criteria?”

What Will won't do

  • No booking without approval

    Will recommends and validates; a person confirms.

  • No payroll changes

    Never alters payroll records or bank details.

  • No clinical judgement

    Uses skill tags and credentials but doesn't assess clinical competency.

  • No mass texting by default

    Uses a smart shortlist. Broadcasts only if you choose to enable them.

Who Will AI is for

Roles

  • Rostering Coordinators
  • Schedulers
  • Operations Managers
  • CEOs & Owners

Industries

  • Aged Care & NDIS

Ideal for

Rostering coordinators, schedulers and operations managers in aged care, NDIS and home care managing 50+ staff with frequent cancellations and changes.

Very small providers with fewer than 10 staff, where manual coordination is already easy.

Will AI: frequently asked questions

No. It sits on top as a gap-fill accelerator. It reads roster availability and staff profiles via API, and your core roster remains your system of record.

It reads rostered shifts and unavailability from your connected rostering or care management system.

No. Staff reply to a normal SMS with “YES” or “NO”.

Will collects the acceptances and presents the best candidates to the rostering manager for final confirmation.

Yes. If payroll or award data is connected, or pay-category rules are configured, it flags assignments likely to trigger penalties.

Yes. It can fill gaps for specific houses and group shifts when house or location data is available.

Yes. If your source system supports “do not pair” rules or exclusions, Will respects them.

It depends on the connector and your permissions. Many integrations start read-only; where write-back is supported, it's enabled only with your explicit approval.
