About Quo

Quo (formerly OpenPhone) is a shared phone system for small businesses that brings calls, texts, and customer details together in one place, so team members and AI agents work together without missing opportunities. Sona answers when the team cannot respond, records key details, and hands the conversation to a human team when needed. The platform offers one-click connectors for Claude and ChatGPT, a public MCP server, and an API that your own agents can read and execute. Sona automation credits come in 5 tiers, from Tier 1 at $0/month to Tier 5 at $199/month; texts are billed per message, with US and Canada local texts at $0.01/message and international texts at $0.01 plus the destination country rate.
