What Cleo is designed to do

When an errand needs a phone call and you're busy, give Cleo a specific request. Tell it who to call, what you need, and which choices are acceptable. Review and approve the call, then read the result and any next step that still needs your attention.

Appointments and reservations

Ask for availability and arrange a booking or new time within your preferences.

Answers before you make the trip

Check stock, prices, hours, or requirements that a business needs to confirm.

Order and repair updates

Find out where an order, repair, reservation, or service request stands and what happens next.

Call results

Read confirmed details, available options, unanswered questions, or why the task could not finish.

Keypad phone menus

Press numbers to select offered options and continue through submenus. Completion depends on the business's phone system and your call's time limit.

Read the detailed task boundaries for appointment calls, restaurant reservations, store stock checks and business questions, and repair-shop and order updates.

You decide what Cleo may do

  • Describe the outcome and the preferences Cleo must respect.
  • Review the business, request, and call limits before approving. Saving a task does not dial.
  • See whether a call is waiting to start, active, or finished, and stop it when needed.
  • Requests that are unsafe or lack clear permission do not proceed.
  • Review any options that fall outside your instructions before deciding what to do next.

Start with one phone errand and describe what would count as getting it sorted. Include your preferences and what you want Cleo to ask if your first choice is unavailable. Review the result before relying on it, and check Responsible Calling for tasks that are outside the service.
