I built my friend an AI phone receptionist as an experiment. It was insane
Hey Guys, So my friend runs a solo real estate agency and she was constantly complaining that she misses calls when she's showing properties. She'd see 4-5 missed calls at the end of a showing and have no idea which were serious buyers.
I'd been experimenting with AI voice tools and offered to set one up for her as a test. Took me about a weekend to figure out.
Here's what happened after 30 days:
The AI answers in under 2 seconds, asks qualifying questions, and books directly into her Google Calendar. She said one of those 6 appointments turned into a closed deal.
The part that blew me away callers genuinely don't realize it's AI. She had one person mention at the viewing "your receptionist Sarah was so helpful on the phone"
Took a bit of trial and error to get the agent working right, but it's pretty straightforward once its all setup.
