For painting companies · Interior, exterior, cabinets, decks

The proposal went out. Then the lead went quiet.

Statusline reads every call and text on your Quo (OpenPhone) line the moment it ends: who asked for an exterior repaint, which proposals were sent and never answered, who mentioned cabinets or a deck while you were talking about walls.

Sound familiar?

Three calls that cost painting companies money every week.

The proposal that never got a follow-up.

You walked the house, sent a good-better-best proposal, and heard nothing. Nobody called on day three. By day ten she'd signed with the crew that did.

The estimator is the only phone.

You're on a ladder, the phone rings, it's a lead. Voicemail. You call back at six. She's already scheduled two other walkthroughs.

The cabinets nobody asked about.

She called about the living room. She mentioned the kitchen "eventually." Nobody asked. That's a cabinet refinish you never quoted.

01 · Status Update

Your day, briefed.
In painting terms.

No dashboard to learn. Your home screen is a plain-English summary of the last 24 hours on your phones, rewritten after every few calls: what booked, what slipped, who's still waiting on a callback.

s Status update · last 24 hours Live

Seven calls yesterday. Three new estimate requests, two walkthroughs booked. Four proposals from last week still have no answer and no follow-up call.

AI thinks you should look into this

Exterior repaint proposal sent Tuesday has no follow-up call logged.

Two-story, ~2,400 sq ft, asked about start dates · Call #3310

Both callers who mentioned "the kitchen too" were asked about cabinets.

One added it to the walkthrough · Keep doing this

02 · Always-on Call Classification

It already knows what a painting call sounds like.

Every call and text is read the moment it ends and sorted by what actually happened: who called, what they wanted, what was quoted, what was promised, and whether anyone followed through.

Jen K. Estimate request Walkthrough not booked

Exterior repaint, two-story, peeling on the south side. Asked when you could come look. Told "later this week." No day on the calendar.

Rob D. Proposal follow-up Quiet 9 days

Got a three-option interior proposal last Monday. Called Thursday to ask about the middle option and start dates. Nobody has called back.

Repeat customer Booking confirmed Deposit paid

Deck stain and front door, booked for the 14th, weather permitting. Deposit taken by text. Color consult offered.

Service types it picks up on its own
Interior repaint Exterior repaint Cabinet refinishing Deck & fence stain Drywall repair Pressure washing Color consult Commercial New construction

Service types aren't a fixed list you configure. The classifier reads them out of the conversation in your customers' own words, so your dashboard speaks painting from the first call.

Coaching flags it raises
  • Proposal sent, no follow-up call
  • Didn't book the walkthrough
  • Didn't ask about other rooms or surfaces
  • Start date promised without a week
  • Didn't mention the deposit or scheduling lead time

04 · Ask AI

Ask your calls anything.
Get answers with receipts.

Plain English in, an answer with the actual calls behind it out. It already knows your service types, your team, and your customers' history, so the answer is a painting answer, not a generic one.

Prefer to ask from Claude, Cursor, or your own ops agent? The same answers are available through the Statusline MCP server.

Built for painters whose estimator is also the crew lead and the phone. Every estimate request gets logged, scored, and followed to a proposal, a signed job, or a lost sale.

Surfaces, square footage, what else they mentioned, which proposal option they asked about. Every call and text on the line, read the moment it ends, whoever picked up.

Questions painting companies ask

The short answers.

We already use a CRM with automated follow-ups.

Keep it. Your CRM sends the drips; Statusline reads what the customer actually said on the phone and in texts, including the callback that asked about the middle option, and tells you which proposals are alive. It works alongside whatever you send proposals from.

Half our leads come in as texts from our website form.

Statusline reads calls and texts on the same Quo line and groups them by customer, so the form text, the walkthrough call, and the "can we start in May?" reply are one thread.

We're seasonal. Do we pay all year?

Free during early access. After that it's monthly and cancel any time, so a shop that's quiet in January isn't paying for April's fire hose in the off-season.

Do I need a Claude account or an AI subscription?

No. The AI is inside Statusline. The only thing you bring is your Quo (formerly OpenPhone) API key. If you do use Claude or an ops agent, there's an MCP server that plugs your calls into it.

What phone system does it work with?

Quo, formerly OpenPhone. Paste your API key and every line in your workspace is covered, calls and texts. It's the line a lot of DripJobs and Jobber painting shops already run on.

Find the proposals that are still alive.

Early access is open to painting companies on Quo (formerly OpenPhone). Drop your email, we'll connect your line, and your first Status Update is waiting the next morning.
