Calso for cleaners
Answers the phone while you're halfway through an end-of-lease clean.
Calso is an AI phone answerer for Australian cleaning businesses. When you're on a job and can't hear the phone, the call goes to Calso instead of voicemail. It answers questions about your services, areas and what's included from your own website and setup interview, takes the quote request, and texts it to you straight away. You keep your own number.

The calls cleaners miss
- You're scrubbing an oven or running a vacuum, and you can't hear the phone.
- Most calls are quote requests: end-of-lease, regular home cleans, offices, carpets.
- People book cleans around their own week, so they ring in the evening and on weekends.
A missed call to your business

What Calso does on those calls
- Takes quote requests: name, number, suburb, size of the place, type of clean, and the date they need.
- Answers questions about what's included, the products you use, the areas you cover and your hours.
- Texts you each request straight away, so you can quote between jobs.
- Says it's an AI assistant if anyone asks. It never pretends to be a person.
What it won't do
- It only gives a price if you have set prices (say, by number of bedrooms). Otherwise it takes the details you need to quote.
- It can't see your bookings and doesn't connect to booking or quoting software.
- It doesn't record calls, and it never guesses: what it doesn't know becomes a message for you.
How your business gets set up
- 01
Calso reads what you've published
Sign up with your business name. Calso reads your website and Google listing for your hours, services, prices and policies.
- 02
A short setup interview
Typed, or by voice if you'd rather. It covers what your website doesn't say, and how you want messages and requests taken.
- 03
Forward the calls you miss
You get your Calso number and choose a plan. Then set your phone to forward the calls you don't answer. Customers keep ringing your usual number.
Setup usually takes under 15 minutes, because Calso reads your website and Google listing first. Nothing is charged until you choose a plan. To undo it, turn call forwarding off.

The visit figure counts Google visits to business pages in the Calso Directory from Saturday 24 to Monday 26 October 2026, set against each business's listed hours in its own state's time. It was a weekend-heavy sample, so read it as a sign of when people look businesses up, not a rule for every week. Each of those visits was someone who might have called.

Your directory listing needs no account. Calso, the phone answerer, is a separate paid service.
