Calso for electricians
Answers the phone when you're in a ceiling or on a switchboard.
Calso is an AI phone answerer for Australian electricians. When you're up a ladder or in a roof space and can't answer, the call goes to Calso instead of voicemail. It answers questions about your services, areas and call-out fee from your own website and setup interview, takes the job details, and texts them to you straight away. You keep your own number.

The calls electricians miss
- You can't answer from inside a roof space or with a switchboard open.
- Calls are a mix of "my power's out", safety switches that keep tripping, and quotes for upgrades and EV chargers.
- A customer who needs an electrician today rings the next number if you don't pick up.

Written example of a typical call, not a recording
What Calso does on those calls
- Takes the job: name, number, address or suburb, what's happening and how urgent it is.
- Answers questions about your services, the areas you cover, your call-out fee and your licence details, if your website or setup interview has them.
- Texts you each one straight away.
- Says it's an AI assistant if anyone asks. It never pretends to be a person.
What it won't do
- It doesn't give electrical advice. If your website says what to do in an emergency, it can repeat that.
- It doesn't schedule jobs or connect to job management 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.

Questions electricians ask
If your licence number and insurance details are on your website or you give them in the setup interview, yes. It only says what you've given it.
Calso takes the details and texts you straight away, day or night. It isn't an emergency service and it doesn't decide what's urgent: you do.
No. It takes the job request and texts it to you, and you schedule it. It doesn't connect to job management software.
If they ask, Calso says it's an AI assistant. It never pretends to be you.
