An AI agent finds homes and books viewings, with SmartMy Marketing

With SmartMy Marketing, the AI agent that answers WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and web chat looks up your published listings. It notes what a person wants as a Lease enquiry and books a viewing when the property's agent is free.

The problem it solves

  • Most messages about a flat arrive at night, and by morning the person has rented elsewhere.
  • Your agents answer "is it still available, what is the rent" twenty times a day.
  • A viewing is agreed in a chat and never reaches the agent's diary, so two people turn up at once.
  • Enquiries from WhatsApp never become records, so you cannot tell which channel brings tenants.

How it works

  1. In SmartMy Marketing, open your AI agent under Configuration > AI Agents. Two Lease tools are on to start with: Find Homes from Our Listings, and Note Enquiries and Book Viewings.
  2. Set the agent's Replies to Answer by Itself Sometimes (outside working hours, 9:00 to 19:00 to start with, or while nobody is assigned) or Always. Suggest Only, the default, lets a person send each answer.
  3. Someone writes "2 bedroom near the marina under 8,000". The agent searches your published listings by area, building, city, bedrooms, budget and purpose. It answers with up to 6 homes: price, size, when free and the listing page.
  4. When the person likes one, the agent notes an enquiry with the unit, budget, bedrooms, move-in date and their words. A person who asked before has the new details added to their open enquiry.
  5. When they ask to see it, the agent books a viewing in person or by video at the time they ask. If the property's agent or the unit has another viewing near then, it offers another time.
  6. The person gets the Viewing Booked message; your agent sees the viewing in the calendar and the enquiry in Lease. A person can take over the chat at any time.

Everything it does

Find homes

  • Published listings of the agent's Entity only; prices always come from the listings, never from the AI
  • Matches words against the listing, the property, its city and the unit; bedrooms at least; price at most the budget
  • Up to 6 homes, newest first, with price and period, bedrooms, area, free from, and the public page
  • Nothing matching: the agent offers to note the wish or hand over to a person

Note enquiries

  • Unit, budget, bedrooms, move-in date and up to 4,000 characters of what the person said
  • Name, phone and email from the chat contact; source from the channel (WhatsApp, social, web, email, phone)
  • One open enquiry per person: asking again adds to it
  • With CRM, the enquiry also opens or joins a CRM opportunity

Book viewings

  • At the person's local time, at least one hour ahead
  • The agent is the property's manager, else the AI agent's hand-over person
  • Refused when that agent or the unit has a planned viewing from 45 minutes before to 15 minutes after; the AI offers another time
  • In person or by video; the viewing is linked to the enquiry

Control

  • Each tool is switched per AI agent
  • At most 5 tool rounds a message, to start with
  • A person replying takes over; the conversation hands over by itself on an error or when AI credits run out
  • Every answer and tool call is logged in the Marketing inbox

Questions

Can the AI quote a wrong rent?

No. It reads price, size and dates from your published listings. A unit without a published listing is not offered.

Does it book over another viewing?

No. If the property's agent or the unit has a viewing close to that time, it refuses and offers another time.

Can my agent step in?

Yes. Replying in the conversation takes over, and the AI stops there. Let the AI Answer gives it back.

Does it work on WhatsApp?

Yes, where your WhatsApp number is connected in SmartMy Marketing. Instagram, Facebook Messenger and web chat work the same way.

Is it switched on by itself?

The two Lease tools are on for each AI agent, but the agent only suggests replies until you set Replies to answer by itself.
