Where you spend your time

Your time is money

We know how your week actually goes

Most cleaning companies are not short on customers; they are short on hours in the day. Quote requests, crew rotas, access instructions, supply orders, and invoices all compete for the same afternoon.

Actionist builds AI agents for Cleaning Services that handle your digital work, so your team can focus on the clean and the client relationship.

What matters to you

Speed to quote
The first company to send a fair quote usually books the job.
Recurring cleans that stick
A missed reschedule loses the whole recurring contract, not just one visit.
Crews where they need to be
The rota and the route decide whether the day runs on time.
Access done right
A wrong gate code or missing key note means a cancelled clean.
Getting paid
Failed cards and slow invoices quietly drain a fully booked business.
Built around your team
These are examples. Build a custom agent for any job you repeat.

And hundreds of other tasks you do manually..

An agent can take a lot off your team's plate. Take a look below to see the time and cost you could save by adding AI agents to your Cleaning Services team's day.

A quote request arrives from the website form, Google, or a missed call. The agent checks the standard rate card, drafts an estimate, and attaches a Calendly link to book a walkthrough if the job needs one. Every reply waits for your one-pass approval before it reaches the client.

Trust & control

You stay in control

Your agents touch client keys, home addresses, and payment details, so cleaning services teams need to see exactly what's happening before they hand over control.

You set the supervision

Start with drafts for your approval, then move a trusted routine to guarded auto once you trust it. Anything destructive, like cancelling a job or sending an invoice, always asks first, and that cannot be turned off.

Approve from your phone

Approve a quote, a reply, or a payment retry from Telegram or Slack with one tap, whether you're between jobs or off site.

Every run is logged

Every action is recorded step by step, with screenshots and a full transcript, so you can see exactly what the agent did on a client's booking or invoice.

Your data stays yours

Client access notes and payment details sit in an encrypted vault, memory stays on your own machine, and it's never used to train shared models. Self-host if your business needs that level of control.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will it actually reply to a quote request fast enough, and sound like us?

Yes. AI agents for cleaning services read the inquiry, price it against your own rate card, and draft a reply in about a minute, fast enough to beat a competitor who checks email once a day. You brief the agent with your pricing and your tone once, like training a new office hire, and every draft waits for your one-tap approval until you trust it to send on its own.

We run everything through Jobber, Housecall Pro, or BookingKoala, will it actually work with that?

Yes. Actionist operates the screen the way a person would, so it works inside Jobber, Housecall Pro, BookingKoala, ServiceM8, or whatever field-service software you already run, even the parts with no public connection for other tools to plug into. Screen automation runs on the desktop app, reading your dashboard and clicking through it the same way your office staff do.

Will it message a client or send an invoice without me seeing it first?

Not unless you set it up that way. You choose the Approval Mode: suggest and wait, ask each time, or guarded auto once you trust the routine. Anything irreversible, like sending an invoice or replying to a complaint, always asks first, and that cannot be turned off. You can approve from your phone over Telegram or Slack with one tap, wherever you are between jobs.

What happens to a quote request or a callout that comes in at 9pm or on a Sunday?

On the desktop app, the agent works while your computer is on and the app is open. For genuine after-hours and weekend cover, so a Saturday quote request doesn't wait until Monday, you can move the agent to Actionist's hosted cloud runtime on a paid plan, and it keeps working around the clock while you're off the phone.

Is this going to replace my office staff or my cleaners?

No. The agent takes over the typing, chasing, and re-entering, quotes, rotas, invoices, reviews, so your team spends less time on admin and more on the clean and the client relationship. Cleaning is still a person's job in someone's home or business; the agent just clears the paperwork out of the way.

Can we build an agent for something specific to how we run our business, not just what's shown here?

Yes, and this is the real point of Actionist. The teams and jobs on this page are examples, not the limit. If your business has its own quirky checklist process, a specific commercial contract billing cycle, or a particular way you handle key handovers, you can brief a custom AI agent for that exact job in plain English, the same way you'd train a new starter.

Our clients trust us with keys to their homes, what happens to that data?

Client access notes, keys, and payment details are stored in an encrypted vault, and memory the agent builds about your business stays on your own machine. Your data is never used to train shared AI models. Every action the agent takes is logged step by step with a full transcript, and you can self-host if your business needs that level of control.

None of us are technical, how hard is this actually to set up?

No code, no developer needed. You brief an agent the way you'd brief a new office hire, in plain English, and connect the apps you already use with a guided one-click setup. Most cleaning businesses have their first agent handling real quote requests or invoices the same day they sign up.

What does this actually cost, and is it worth it for a business our size?

Pricing scales with how many agents you run and whether you add the hosted cloud runtime, so there's no single number that fits every cleaning business. Think about it in hours back and jobs saved: hours a week not spent on quotes, rotas, and chasing payments, and recurring contracts that don't quietly cancel because a reschedule got missed. Book a personalised demo and we'll walk through your numbers.
