Challenge
Struggling with inefficient manual chat support processes that were slowing growth and increasing operational costs. Their primary concern was agent productivity.

The challenge

Manual chat support was the biggest bottleneck in this commercial real estate company's operations. Their team of 25-100 agents processed hundreds of chat support requests weekly, each requiring multiple steps, cross-referencing against real estate-specific requirements, and coordination between departments. The average chat support request took 45 minutes to complete manually, and the backlog was growing by 15% each quarter. Beyond the time drain, the quality of their chat support output was inconsistent. Different team members followed different procedures, and there was no standardized way to handle edge cases that are common in real estate. A recent audit revealed that 12% of completed chat support records contained errors that required rework — costing the organization an additional $50K annually in correction and remediation efforts. The leadership team recognized that continuing to throw people at the problem wasn't viable and began searching for an AI-powered solution.

The solution

Arahi AI provided the automation backbone this real estate team needed. They deployed a multi-agent workflow that breaks the chat support process into discrete, automated steps — each handled by a specialized AI agent. The first agent monitors triggers from MLS and HubSpot. The second agent analyzes and processes incoming requests using real estate-specific business logic. The third agent executes actions across connected tools and notifies team members via Gmail. The beauty of the no-code approach was speed of implementation. The team had their first agent live within 90 minutes, and the full chat support workflow was operational within a single afternoon. They used Arahi AI's template for real estate chat support as a starting point, customized the business rules to match their specific process, and connected their existing tool stack without writing a single line of code. Within the first week, the agents had processed over 200 chat support instances with high accuracy — more than the team typically handled in a month.

  1. Mapped the existing chat support workflow

    Documented every step of the current manual chat support process, including decision points, exceptions, and handoffs between team members. Identified which steps could be fully automated versus those needing human oversight.

  2. Built the automation in Arahi AI

    Used Arahi AI's no-code builder to create the chat support workflow: connected MLS and Follow Up Boss as data sources, configured AI decision logic for real estate-specific requirements, and set up automated actions and notifications.

  3. Parallel run with manual process

    Ran the AI agents alongside the manual process for one week to compare outputs. The AI matched or exceeded human accuracy on the vast majority of chat support instances, with edge cases automatically flagged for human review.
