The eight arms

Octo doing eight full-time jobs, for you.

Ask a question, tap the mic, or let Octo suggest the next move. Every arm quietly earning its keep.

Arm 01

Smart Calendar Q&A

Ask in plain English — “what's on Thursday?”, “where are my gaps?” — and get an answer without digging.

Arm 02

Customer Lookup

Search by name, email, mobile or postcode and pull up the full history before the call connects.

Arm 03

Booking Changes

Request time, status or note edits. Octo queues them as pending actions for you to approve.

Arm 04

Voice Messaging

Tap the mic and talk. Octo transcribes it, understands it, and gets on with the job — hands-free.

Arm 05

Payment Tracking

Spot unpaid appointments at a glance and check payment status so nothing quietly slips through.

Arm 06

Availability Insights

Ask when you're free or let Octo suggest smart slots for a new booking. No more double-bookings.

Arm 07

Mobile Route Planning

Directions and route info for outcall visits, so the drive between clients stops eating your day.

Arm 08

Reminder Assistance

Trigger client reminders and nudges on demand. Fewer no-shows, warmer communication.

Ask on Monday. Booked out by Friday.

01

Connect your calendar

Plug in Google, Apple or Outlook. Octo learns your services, hours and clients in minutes.

02

Ask, tap or speak

Type a question, tap the mic, or let Octo suggest the next slot. It replies in your voice.

03

Approve and go

Every change lands as a reviewable action. You stay in control, Octo does the typing.

"I stopped answering DMs at midnight. I just ask Octo. My no-shows halved in a month and I finally took a Sunday off."
