An AI bot that answers real estate leads instantly
Real estate agents can lose potential customers when a website or property portal lead sits in an inbox too long. This bot detects new leads as soon as they arrive, then removes spam and duplicate submissions before anyone spends time on them. It sends a reply based on the actual inquiry instead of using a fixed template.
It can also book a call directly on the agent’s calendar without a long back-and-forth. The system runs at all hours, so a late-night or weekend lead gets the same fast response as one during work hours. The setup uses Python, Claude, , SendGrid, and Calendly.
The harder parts were preventing duplicate replies, avoiding cold-start delays, and handling data in a GDPR-compliant way. It is now being offered free for one or two small or mid-size real estate agencies for early feedback.
