Client: A mid-market residential real estate developer in Bengaluru with 3 active projects. Client name withheld per engagement agreement — industry, scale, and outcomes are verbatim.

The Challenge

  • 5-person WhatsApp desk handled ~800 enquiries per month at a fully-loaded cost of ₹2.2 lakh/month.
  • Genuine buyer conversations were being drowned by speculative / broker / bot enquiries — the team estimated only ~18% of WhatsApp enquiries were serious buyers.
  • Response time was inconsistent after 8pm and on weekends, exactly when working professionals actually had time to enquire.
  • RERA-mandated disclosure questions (project ID, approvals, possession timeline) were being answered inconsistently, creating compliance exposure.

What We Built

  1. 1AI agent handles all first-touch WhatsApp enquiries with a scoring rubric built with the sales head: budget range, intent signals, timeline, location preference.
  2. 2Standardised RERA-mandated disclosures delivered consistently, with link to live project documents — every customer gets the same legally-required information.
  3. 3Site-visit booking end-to-end inside WhatsApp: the AI checks sales team availability, confirms the slot, and sends a calendar invite — no human in the loop.
  4. 4Only leads scoring ≥7/10 on the rubric route to a named human sales agent; everything else gets nurtured via a drip sequence until qualification.
  5. 5Dashboard for the sales head showing funnel conversion by project, by source, by time of day.
