Overview

What is Answer Automation?

SmartRent’s Answer Automation solution automates the process of providing accurate and timely responses to common community inquiries and leasing questions. It uses natural language processing (NLP) to understand and answer customer queries and can escalate calls to the appropriate team members as needed. Answer Automation also allows residents to easily create work orders that are automatically assigned, improving response times and increasing satisfaction.
