What is an AI agent versus a chatbot for real estate?
A chatbot replies to messages. An agent takes actions. A rent collection agent sends the reminder, checks Razorpay for payment, marks the ledger, and escalates to the owner if 5 days pass without payment. A lead qualification agent scores the lead, tags budget and location, creates the CRM record, and books a site-visit slot. Chatbots answer. Agents do the work.
Is agentic AI DPDP compliant for tenant and buyer data?
Yes if built correctly. We keep buyer and tenant PII in Indian regions, log every agent action for audit, use purpose-limited data access per agent, and support consent withdrawal. Payment data stays with Razorpay or your existing rails. We never train external models on your customer data.
Will these agents work with our existing broker CRM?
Yes. We integrate with Sell.Do, LeadSquared, Salesforce, Zoho, HubSpot, and older custom CRMs common in NCR and Mumbai brokerages. If the CRM lacks an API, we run agents against Google Sheets or a nightly export. Same pattern we use in Realzent for our own operations.
How do agents handle WhatsApp Business API rules?
All outbound uses approved template messages inside the 24-hour session window rules. Rent reminders, visit confirmations, and listing shortlists run as pre-approved templates. Two-way conversations happen during active sessions. We manage template submissions, quality ratings, and provider selection across Interakt, Gupshup, and direct Meta.
Do you handle RERA and legal document workflows?
Yes. Agents can reference RERA registration numbers when drafting listing content, cite approved plans in buyer conversations, and flag missing compliance docs before publishing. For rental agreements and lease renewals, agents draft within owner-approved templates and route final review to a human before execution. Nothing legal goes out without a human tap.
What is the ROI horizon on an AI agent deployment?
Lead qualification and rent collection agents pay back inside 3-4 months for portfolios above 100 leads a month or 200 rental units. Listing sync agents pay back in 6-8 weeks by removing manual portal upload work. Site-visit scheduling and broker follow-up agents show up as pipeline lift within 60 days, harder to attribute cleanly but visible in your conversion numbers.
Which models do you use and why?
We route by task. Claude Sonnet for reasoning-heavy work like lead scoring and negotiation drafts. GPT-4o for structured extraction and portal listing generation. Smaller open models for high-volume classification jobs like intent tagging. Every agent has a fallback model. We monitor cost per successful action, not tokens.
How much does a full AI agent build cost?
Single agent pilot (2-3 weeks): 1.5 to 3 lakh. Multi-agent build with 3-6 agents wired to your CRM, WhatsApp, portals, and payment rails (6-10 weeks): 5 to 15 lakh. Managed operations from 40,000 per month including model API costs, weekly evals, escalation review, and prompt tuning. Discovery is free.
