What information does it ask for when someone wants to rent?
The details your consultant needs to assess the application: the listing or the area, the budget, how many people would live there and whether there are pets, their employment situation, their approximate income (explaining why it is needed) and the move-in date. It never asks about or records nationality, origin, religion or similar data, even if the landlord requests it: Spanish Law 15/2022 prohibits discrimination in access to housing.
Does the caller know they are talking to an artificial intelligence?
Yes. As soon as the call is answered, an announcement tells the caller they are speaking to a virtual assistant powered by artificial intelligence, as required by Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, and it cannot be switched off. If they would rather speak to a person, the agent takes a message so that their consultant can call them back or, if you set it up, transfers the call to whoever is available at that moment.
Can it negotiate the price or give advice on the contract?
No. If someone makes an offer or asks something only the owner knows, it takes a message so that the consultant can call them back and records it in the sales funnel. Nor does it give advice on taxes, contracts or legal matters: it offers a call back from your team. And it never gives out details of owners, tenants or other prospects.
What does it do if a tenant calls with an emergency?
Safety first: if there is a smell of gas, it tells them not to touch any switches, to open the windows, turn off the gas at the meter, leave the property and call 112; if there is a water leak, to turn off the stopcock. It then opens the incident as urgent, with a 4-hour deadline, and gives them the reference. It does not tell them who pays for the repair: that is for the property manager to decide.
Does it connect to my property software or to the property portals?
Your portfolio is synchronised with the same file you already send to the portals (Kyero XML, JSON or CSV), which is read every hour, or with your property software via API, which passes on every change instantly. During the call, the agent looks up the portfolio by reference, street or area and answers only with what the listing says. The panel also connects to Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Zoho CRM, Pipedrive and other CRMs. Additional integrations are ready within 3 weeks at most and integration consulting is free of charge.
Does it send the list of documents by WhatsApp?
Yes, if your agency has WhatsApp Business connected. During the call, the agent sends the caller a personal link to upload the documents for their transaction from their mobile; for renting, for example, DNI or NIE, recent payslips or proof of income, and employment contract. If your agency does not have WhatsApp connected or the call comes from a landline, the link is sent by email. The link requires no account or password and expires after 30 days. If the person replies on WhatsApp, the message arrives in the panel’s inbox and your team deals with it.
