Newo Partner K3-Team Takes Olivia to Plus Eight Sprint Top 5

Ryan Stevens

Newo's white-label partner in Australia turned seven weeks in Spacecubed's pre-accelerator into a live Voice AI product, with around 20 follow-up meetings already lined up.

PERTH, Australia. K3-Team, a white-label partner of Newo, has taken Olivia, its Voice AI receptionist, into the Top 5 solutions of Plus Eight Sprint, a pre-accelerator program run by the Perth innovation hub Spacecubed. Olivia is built on the Newo platform and is now live.

A white-label partner in action

Newo sells directly and through a white-label partner program, which lets partners launch Voice AI products under their own brand. Olivia is an example of that model: K3-Team developed and brands the product, and the Newo platform powers it.

K3-Team is a Perth company that designs CRM, ERP, and AI-powered workflows for Australian businesses. Its website notes 15+ years of experience. Its services include Odoo and Planfix implementation, automation with n8n and Make.com, and Newo Voice AI implementation. Olivia grew out of that mix of business-systems and AI work.

What Olivia does

Olivia is marketed as a 24/7 AI receptionist that handles calls, answers questions, captures leads, and books appointments. The call is only the start. She can pass collected details into a customer's CRM, ERP, calendar and notification tools, and hand over to a human with context when needed. A business decides what she knows and when to take over.

K3-Team originally built Olivia for electricians, plumbers and other trades. The team found the need is much broader: any business where a missed call can mean a lost customer, from property, automotive, and clinics to hospitality and professional services.

Seven weeks in Plus Eight Sprint

Plus Eight Sprint is a seven-week pre-accelerator for early-stage teams. Each session combines a mentor presentation, hands-on work on the participant's own business, and a weekly project review, with an orientation week at the start and a Pitch Night at the end.

K3-Team worked alongside a cohort of founders, facilitators, speakers, and mentors. One of the toughest exercises was condensing the idea into a one-minute pitch, "much harder than it sounds." The team made the Top 5 with support from the community vote.

Try Olivia now

Anyone can test Olivia by phone on 0485 048 946. K3-Team invites callers to "try to confuse her." The team has also launched Olivia Creator, which lets businesses create their own version of Olivia: https://lnkd.in/gs7_GuWw. More information is at olivia-voice.ai.

What's next

K3-Team has around 20 follow-up meetings and conversations lined up and is open to talking about Voice AI and automation. The team thanked Spacecubed, Plus Eight, the program facilitators, the Newo team, and their families for their support.
