Questions

Things people ask us.

She gracefully says she'll take a message and pass it along. You get a WhatsApp summary with the caller's number, their question, and a suggested next step. Nothing ever falls through the cracks, and no caller gets stuck in a dead end.

Today, Clio speaks English fluently with a warm, internationally-recognizable accent. Afrikaans and Zulu support are in active development — join the waitlist if you need multilingual answering right now. Your dashboard settings will eventually let you pick Clio's default language per call.

Clio auto-pauses. Calls automatically forward to the mobile number you set during onboarding. You get an instant WhatsApp alert. Resume anytime from your dashboard. Zero surprise bills, ever.

Fifteen minutes from signup to your first answered call. You'll provide basic business info, pick Clio's voice, connect your Google Calendar, and receive your new business number. Clio starts answering immediately — no configuration delays.

Yes, two options. You can port your number directly to Clio (standard porting takes 3–5 business days), or you can set up call forwarding so calls to your existing number ring Clio first. Both are walked through during setup.

No contracts. Pay month-to-month. Cancel anytime from your dashboard. We also offer a 14-day money-back guarantee on your first month — if Clio isn't working for your business, you get a full refund, no questions asked.

Only you and any team members you grant access to. All transcripts are encrypted at rest. We don't train AI models on your data, ever. Your business conversations stay yours.

Flag any call in your dashboard for review. We investigate every flagged call, and genuine AI errors get refunded for that call. In practice, clients report Clio matches or exceeds human receptionist quality within two weeks, as she learns the specifics of your business.

Yes. For calls she can't handle, or for callers who specifically ask to speak to you, she transfers live. You configure which numbers and during which hours you want to be reachable in your dashboard.

Clio recognizes escalation signals and offers to transfer to you, take a callback number, or send an urgent WhatsApp alert — whichever fits the situation. You always stay in the loop.

You're ready

Never miss a call again.

Clio is waiting. Setup takes 15 minutes. Your first call is on us.
