01Overview

An AI brokerage platform that answers every property enquiry in under a minute and tells agents which lead to call first.

02The problem

Meridian's 60 agents were losing deals to speed. Enquiries arrived across four portals, WhatsApp and walk-ins, then sat in personal inboxes overnight. Nobody could say which listing or which portal actually produced revenue.

The record that explains its own score, qualified before a human is woken
03What we built
  1. 01

    One intake, zero inboxes

    Every portal, form and WhatsApp message lands in a single queue, enriched with the buyer's history and the listing's numbers before an agent sees it.

  2. 02

    Scoring that reflects reality

    A model trained on three years of closed deals ranks each lead by likelihood to transact, not by how loudly they enquired.

  3. 03

    First reply in 40 seconds

    An AI assistant answers instantly in Arabic or English, qualifies budget and timeline, books the viewing and only then wakes a human.

04The result

Response time collapsed from hours to under a minute and the brokerage finally knows what each portal is worth. Meridian cut two portal contracts in the first quarter and redeployed the budget into the two that convert.

Do you have an idea, or a problem?

Either works. In my experience the second one goes faster.

I usually reply the same day.
