Good things to know

Local businesses you'd reach by phone where a real person answers — restaurants, salons, repair shops, and local stores. Callio is built for everyday calls like reservations, availability checks, hours, and prices. If a short phone menu answers first, Callio listens to the options and presses through toward a person. Some numbers don't reach a person at the location you picked, like customer-service hotlines, government lines, and systems that ask for an account number. When Callio recognizes one, it tells you before you call rather than dialing into a dead end.

No. Callio does one thing: it calls a US business you picked on Google Maps and brings back the answer. It does not answer your phone, call personal contacts, or act as a receptionist for a business.

No. Pick the business, say what you need in a sentence, and confirm the request Callio shows you before it dials. There is no voice to choose, no script to write and no agent to configure.

Callio's assistant never pretends to be a person. It identifies itself as an AI whenever it's asked, and says so up front on any call where it's making or changing a reservation or appointment on your behalf.

On a booking, yes, because they need a way to confirm. Callio gives them the number saved in your profile if they ask for one. The call itself comes from a dedicated Callio line, so your number is never the business's caller ID, and on calls that only ask a question they get no number at all.

The app and your summaries are available in English, Spanish, and Chinese. Calls themselves are placed in English: the summary and key details come back in your chosen language, and you also get the full transcript of the call.

Yes, free. In the app, Callio Playground places a real call to your own phone: you answer and play the business, and Callio handles the conversation so you hear its real voice. It never uses anything up, and no subscription is needed. Real calls to businesses are Premium.

You'll see exactly what happened in the transcript, whether it's a no-answer or a task that needs your input, so you always know where things stand.

Callio calls businesses in the United States. The app is out on both iOS and Android, so you can download it from the App Store or Google Play.

Yes. The demo video on this page plays a full call, start to finish. In the app you can see the plan and what Callio will ask, free. And Callio Playground, also in the app, rings the phone number you verify: you answer and play the business, and hear its live voice before you pay. Placing real calls to businesses is what Premium unlocks.

You describe the task and Callio shows you the plan and what it will ask on the call, at no cost. Want to hear it too? In the app, Callio Playground rings the phone number you verify: you play the business and hear Callio's real voice, live. Neither uses anything up or needs a subscription.

Premium is unlimited calls to businesses, on a monthly or an annual plan. Both unlock the same thing, and the annual plan works out cheaper per month. The App Store and Google Play show the current price for each before you subscribe.

Yes. You can cancel anytime from your app store account. You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for.
