Built on a real operation, not a pitch deck.
ARKHOS didn't start as a startup idea. It started as software a real cleaning company had to build to survive its own growth — and it worked so well it became a product.
Captain Duster — the flagship operation.
Captain Duster is a real cleaning company: 900+ customers, 260+ cleaners, 7,391 jobs of operating history. Running it meant living on the phone — quoting, dispatching, chasing payments, hiring — the way every service-business owner does.
So we built the system we wished existed: one place that books the jobs, sends the right crew, talks to customers, runs the money and tells you what to do next. Then we taught an AI operator to do that work — approval-first, so nothing risky ever happened without a human tap.
It didn't have to look good in a demo. It had to keep a real business running on a Tuesday. That's the difference you feel in every screen.
"The AI handles what used to be my whole evening — quotes, confirmations, who goes where. I finally run the business instead of chasing it."
One engine. Every trade. The operation, run for you.
Cleaning was first because that's the business we ran. But the engine is the same for every home & field-service trade — the booking questions, pricing rules and dispatch logic simply adapt. Pressure washing, pest control, HVAC, plumbing, lawn, pool, handyman and more run on the exact same system.
Principles we build on.
Approval-first, always
The AI proposes; you decide. Nothing that touches money or a customer message fires without your OK — until you choose to automate it, category by category.
Your data is yours
Isolated by tenant, exportable anytime, never shared or sold. Your payments, number and books stay on your own accounts with a bring-your-own-key model.
Proven, not promised
We ship what runs a real operation. If it isn't good enough for our own business on a busy day, it isn't good enough to sell.
