Conversational Property Search Powered by AI on WhatsApp

Built an AI chatbot that collects property preferences through chat and delivers real-time listings, eliminating the need for forms or website visits.

🏢 Client Overview

A fast-growing real estate rental platform wanted to simplify how users search for properties. Traditionally, users had to navigate the website, fill out multiple forms (location, budget, amenities), and wait for search results — a tedious, time-consuming process, especially for mobile-first users.

🚨 The Challenge

While WhatsApp was already popular with their audience, property search was limited to the website. The client wanted to:

  • ✅ Enable property search via WhatsApp chatbot
  • ✅ Support audio notes, single-line, and multi-line text
  • ✅ Remove friction & eliminate traditional form-filling

Key Challenge:
Parsing free-form, unstructured inputs while maintaining a structured conversation flow to gather all preferences before returning results.
