# CleanSlate AI > CleanSlate AI is the autonomous AI employee for commercial cleaning companies. Our AI General Manager "Ace" runs front-office operations entirely over SMS — crew scheduling, shift confirmation, call-out replacement, lead qualification, invoicing, proposals, e-signatures, and client communication — with no app for the crew, no logins, and no owner micromanagement. CleanSlate AI is built for U.S. commercial cleaning, janitorial, and building service contractor (BSC) businesses with 5–50 crew members and $200K–$3M in annual revenue. The platform replaces the need to hire an office manager, dispatcher, or operations coordinator, freeing the owner to focus on growth and client relationships. ## What makes CleanSlate AI different - **SMS-first.** Crew receive shifts, confirmations, and updates by text message in their preferred language. No app to download. No login. Works on any phone. - **Autonomous, not assistive.** Ace handles call-outs at 2 AM, finds replacements, notifies the client, sends the invoice, and texts the owner a digest. The owner does not need to be in the loop in real time. - **Built for the trade.** Unlike horizontal tools (Jobber, Housecall Pro) or generic AI chatbots, every workflow is designed around the realities of commercial cleaning: recurring contracts, hourly crews, language barriers, no-shows, last-minute schedule changes. - **One flat price, no per-seat fees.** $299–$699/month based on crew count, plus 1% Stripe Connect platform fee on payments processed. ## Pricing - **Starter** — $299/month — 1–15 crew - **Growth** — $499/month — 16–30 crew - **Scale** — $699/month — 31–50 crew - **Stripe Connect platform fee** — 1% of payments processed through CleanSlate All plans include unlimited SMS, all 8 specialist AI agents, unlimited clients, unlimited proposals, e-signatures, invoicing, and the owner web dashboard. ## Key pages - [Homepage](https://hirecleanslate.ai/): Product overview and value proposition - [Features](https://hirecleanslate.ai/features): Full capability list - [Pricing](https://hirecleanslate.ai/pricing): Plans and Stripe Connect details - [Why CleanSlate](https://hirecleanslate.ai/why-cleanslate): Comparison vs. hiring an office manager and vs. competitors - [Book a demo](https://hirecleanslate.ai/book-demo): 30-minute live walkthrough - [Blog](https://hirecleanslate.ai/blog): Operational guides, hiring SOPs, and AI in the cleaning industry ## Founder and company CleanSlate AI, LLC is a Delaware C-Corp founded in 2025 by Michael Mabry, a former M&A advisor at Vista Point Advisors.

The crew never logs in to anything. **What does Ace, the AI General Manager, actually do?** Schedules recurring and one-off cleanings, sends shift confirmation texts, follows up on no-confirmations, finds replacement crew when someone calls out, qualifies inbound leads from the website or phone, generates and sends proposals and invoices, collects payment via Stripe Connect, sends client follow-ups, and gives the owner a daily SMS digest of everything that happened. **How is this different from Jobber, Housecall Pro, ZenMaid, Swept, or Janitorial Manager?** Those tools are databases the owner has to operate. CleanSlate AI is an autonomous employee — Ace makes decisions, sends messages, handles edge cases, and only escalates to the owner when human judgment is required. **How is this different from ChatGPT or a generic AI assistant?** Generic AI is a chat interface that requires the owner to prompt it. CleanSlate AI runs on its own, 24/7, against the owner's actual business data, integrated with SMS, payments, contracts, and the schedule.
