FAQs about AI for SMBs

What is an AI Agent and how does it work?

An AI agent is software that perceives context, decides the best action, and executes — without anyone clicking a button. Unlike automation, it handles new situations: it understands natural language, queries systems, makes decisions, and acts. Default operational channel: Telegram. The client's own WhatsApp Business is optional. It also integrates with CRM, email, and your business APIs.

How does an AI Agent help real estate agencies?

The SDR Agent replies on Telegram (default channel) in seconds — the brokerage's own WhatsApp Business is optional. It qualifies leads 24/7: asks about profile, budget, and interest, matches the portfolio, and books visits. No lead goes cold from delay. Brokers receive only qualified leads, ready to close.

And for law firms?

The Document Agent screens clients, summarizes contracts in seconds, and delivers the brief on Telegram. It also schedules meetings, sends deadline reminders, and answers frequent questions. The firm's own WhatsApp Business is optional. Partners and lawyers focus on work that needs human judgment — the agent handles operations.

And for clinics?

The Retention Agent confirms appointments on Telegram (default channel), cuts no-shows with D-2 and D-1 reminders, manages the waitlist, and re-engages inactive patients — up to ~30% relative no-show reduction in pilot scenarios. The clinic's own WhatsApp Business is optional. Front desk focuses on cases that truly need attention.

Do I need to replace my CRM or ERP to use AI Agents?

No. Our agents integrate via API with the systems you already use: Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, RD Station, TOTVS, SAP, Google Calendar, email, Telegram, and, if you prefer, your own WhatsApp Business. No migration required — the agent amplifies what you have.

How much does it cost to implement an AI Agent?

It depends on integration complexity and the processes to automate. The model is: a one-time development investment (scoped to the work) plus a monthly fee for operation and monitoring. We run a Free Diagnosis to size accurately before any proposal.

How soon will I see results?

The first version of the agent goes live in 15 to 30 days. Operational results — leads answered, appointments confirmed, documents summarized — start right after go-live. Measurable ROI with real data within 30 days of operation.

Is the AI Agent safe for confidential data?

Yes. We define exactly which data the agent can access. The architecture uses encryption in transit and at rest, with full audit logs. For clinics we follow LGPD and medical-board rules. For legal, we apply client-level confidentiality controls.

What is the difference between automation (n8n, Zapier) and an AI Agent?

Automations follow fixed flows — if something changes, they break. AI agents understand context and make decisions: a real-estate agent reads the lead message, evaluates the profile, and decides whether to qualify or ask for more information — without you programming every case.
