AI receptionist for cleaning businesses
A tenant moving out on the 30th needs the apartment spotless for her deposit, and she’s calling cleaners on her lunch break. Your crews are mid-clean and the phone is in the van. The AI receptionist for house and office cleaning companies answers, asks the size of the place, gives a rough price from your own numbers, and books the clean.
Call it now, say you run a cleaning company, then pretend to be someone who needs a move-out clean and hear how it answers.
What it handles on a cleaning call
What kind of clean
Regular, a first-time deep clean, a move-out or an office. "Not sure yet" is an answer too, and it doesn't talk anyone into one.
The size of the place
Bedrooms, bathrooms (half-baths count), pets, and square footage when your prices or crews need it.
When they'd like it
A day, a week or "as soon as possible", then real open times from your calendar.
Keys and codes
A lockbox or gate code is kept on the booking for your crew and never read back out on the call.
Your regulars
If you let it handle changes, "we're away next week" skips that one visit and leaves the rest standing. "Can you come Thursday instead?" moves one visit, after reading both times back.
Changing or ending a whole regular arrangement isn't done on a call: it takes a message and you sort it out.
Rough prices from your own numbers
Cleaning callers want a number. Switch on rough prices and set them yourself: a base price, an amount per bedroom and bathroom, a discount for how often they come, and extras. The assistant asks what the price depends on and says the result exactly as it's worded, never a figure of its own. It's arithmetic, not a guess, so you can work out on paper what any caller will be told. With rough prices off, it gives no price at all.
The right crew for the home
Some homes need a team. Set the square footage at which a service needs a crew, and the assistant asks the size before it offers any times. Under your figure, it books one person. At or over it, only your teams are offered. It never guesses a size.
A team is booked as a team: every member's schedule is checked, and the job holds its full length.
Booking, arrival windows and reminders
A calendar and a booking page come with every plan. With arrival windows set, the assistant offers "between 8:00 and 10:00 AM" and never promises an exact time. Pick the days you go to each town and it only offers those days there.
It books a first clean on the call. You set up a regular schedule in your calendar, and if you let it handle changes, it can then skip or move a single visit when a regular calls. Clients who give an email get a confirmation, and a reminder the day before.
Hear it yourself
Call (949) 704-8377, say you run a cleaning company, and ask what a move-out clean costs for a two-bedroom apartment. Listen for whether it asks about the size of the place before it talks about price.
Sample call on the demo line
An example written out to show how a call like this goes. Not a real caller.
Assistant: This call is recorded for quality assurance, and you’re speaking with an AI assistant. Thanks for calling [your business]. How can I help?
Caller: I’m moving out on the 30th and need a deep clean for the deposit. How much is that?
Assistant: I can help. How many bedrooms and bathrooms, and roughly how many square feet?
Caller: Two bedrooms, one bath, about 900 square feet.
Assistant: For a move-out clean that size, the price is usually [your price range for a two-bedroom move-out]. The final price is confirmed when the crew sees it. The 29th and 30th are both open. Which suits you?
Caller: The 29th, in the morning.
Assistant: Booked for the morning of the 29th. Is anyone home to let the crew in, or should they use a lockbox?
What it costs
Phone plans start at $129.99 a month for 350 minutes, about 175 two-minute calls. Essential or Professional suits most cleaning calls. Minutes are counted by the second, and your plan never upgrades itself. Every plan, add-on and price is on the Kwickly Answers pricing page.
Cleaning business questions
Can it quote a clean over the phone?
Yes, if you switch on rough prices and set your own numbers. It adds them up exactly, and with rough prices off it gives no price.
Can it book recurring cleans?
It books the first clean on the call. You set up the regular schedule in your calendar, and if you let it handle changes, it can then skip or move a single visit when a regular calls.
Does it take office and commercial calls?
Yes. Commercial or office is one of the kinds of clean it asks about, and you can add your own questions, like the square footage or how many floors.
Will it promise an exact arrival time?
Not if you give arrival windows. It says the window, like "between 8:00 and 10:00 AM", and never turns it into a single time.
Can my crew see the gate code?
Yes, on the job in your calendar. The assistant never reads it back to anyone on a call.
