No silent failures
If the AI fails to generate a proper reply, the customer still receives a response and a separate alert is sent.

Workflow Overview
The Real Problem
Most property enquiries do not wait. A buyer messages one agent, then another, then another. The first useful reply usually sets the direction of the conversation.
The challenge is not only speed. It is consistency. Teams miss messages outside working hours, repeat the same answers again and again, and lose track of which leads are serious and which are just browsing.
What This System Handles
-
1
Text and voice enquiries
Voice notes are transcribed and handled the same way as typed messages. -
2
Answers from live property data
Property details come from Airtable. The system does not invent prices, availability, or features. -
3
Lead qualification during the conversation
Each lead is scored as hot, warm, or cold based on intent and logged for follow up. -
4
Calendar checked before booking
Viewing slots are confirmed against real Google Calendar availability. -
5
Human handoff when needed
Serious or complex conversations are escalated to the team with context already collected.
Designed for Reliability
Clean escalation
Multiple messages from the same lead do not create repeated alerts for the team.
Multiple messages from the same lead do not create repeated alerts for the team.
Who This Is For
This setup works best for estate agents, lettings teams, and property businesses that receive regular WhatsApp enquiries and want a faster first response without removing humans from important conversations.
Why It Matters
The goal is not to replace agents. The goal is to protect response time and reduce repetitive work.
The assistant handles the early part of the conversation. When a lead becomes serious, a real person already has the context and can take over cleanly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this replace human agents?
No. It handles early responses and repetitive questions. Serious conversations are handed to the team.
Can it answer from real property data?
Yes. Property details are pulled from Airtable instead of being generated from memory.
What happens if the AI fails?
The customer still receives a fallback reply, and a separate alert is sent so the issue is not missed.
Can it book viewings?
It checks real calendar availability before confirming a viewing slot.
