⚠️ THE PROBLEM

Fragmented Phones,
Manual Data Gaps

A multi‑agent brokerage relied on traditional phone trees and a rotating office admin. When callers asked about specific addresses, the admin had to manually check spreadsheets.

Inconsistent follow-ups resulted in 20% lead leakage. The owner needed a data-driven solution that could recognize property intent and route to the specific assigned agent instantly.

The Client Brief:

“We don't want a basic answering service. We need a workflow-based solution where the AI recognizes property addresses and agent names, then references live active listings.”

⚡ THE SOLUTION

AI Voice + Real‑Time Data Orchestration

I architected a Voice AI stack using Retell and n8n, connecting the telephony layer to a live Airtable source of truth. The system provides a "Human-Plus" experience:

  • 01. Conversational Intent Recognition — Natural voice processing that distinguishes between agent requests, property inquiries, and general office questions.
  • 02. Live Listing Integration — Dynamic API lookups to live listings; inquiries for "123 Main St" are automatically mapped to the specific listing agent.
  • 03. Intelligent Warm Transfers — Direct routing to agent mobiles with full caller context passed to the human agent before they pick up.
  • 04. Automated Fallback Governance — High-confidence thresholds (85%+) for AI resolution, with immediate failover to an internal human queue if intent is ambiguous.

“You don't need more content or more phone lines. You need intelligence at the front door. I'll build a system that knows your directory better than your admin does.”

“Arsalan delivered an AI receptionist that actually knows our agents and listings. When a caller asks for the agent on Maple Street, the system routes them instantly. Our admin doesn't dread the phones anymore.”
