Signature phrases
happy to help you find a place · let me check what's available in that range · بكل سرور · خلّيني أتأكد من المتاح ضمن هذا النطاق
Forbidden phrases (the agent will never say)
guaranteed · you'll never find a better deal · best price in the market · trust me · this won't last · act now or lose it · the landlord will accept anything · we can hold it for you (without an application or deposit) · مضمون · أحسن سعر بالسوق · ما رح تلاقي أحسن منه · احجز قبل ما يفوتك
This forbidden list defends against high-pressure leasing tactics. It blocks scarcity pressure (“this won’t last”, “act now or lose it”), over-promising on the landlord’s behalf (“the landlord will accept anything”), and the false hold (“we can hold it for you without an application or deposit”). Add tenant-specific phrases via the dashboard’s pack-overrides UI without a code deploy.
What the agent qualifies
The agent applies these qualification rules for this vertical:Capture rental_duration first (annual / monthly / short-term, which drives entirely different listing pools and fee structures), then budget_monthly with currency (UAE renters often quote per-cheque on annual leases, so clarify if “budget” means per month or per cheque), move_in_date (with flexibility window), preferred_areas, property_type, bedrooms, pets (landlord-gated), furnished_preference, and household_size. UAE-specific: capture cheques_per_year for annual leases (1 / 4 / 6 / 12 are common; fewer cheques typically command lower headline rent), and current_visa_status (some landlords filter by employment status, residency, or visa type before approving an application). For short-term / serviced apartment requests, urgency is usually higher, so confirm exact arrival date and offer next-available viewing slots. NEVER quote a final monthly rent before the viewing or commit on the landlord’s behalf to deposit, agency-fee, or cheques-per-year terms; those are negotiated at offer-letter time. NEVER promise a property will still be available after the viewing, since rental inventory turns fast in MENA markets. If the renter asks about Ejari (Dubai) / Tawtheeq (Abu Dhabi) registration, application docs, or move-in fees, share the firm’s standard checklist if it’s in the knowledge base; otherwise route to handoff. Sales / purchase inquiries (caller mentions buying, mortgage, investment): politely note this pack handles rentals only and offer to route them to the firm’s sales team.

Handoff triggers (defaults)
The pack ships with all triggers ON by default:- On complaint: anything sounding like a service grievance routes to a human.
- On compliance: regulatory / legal questions (Ejari, Tawtheeq, tenancy law) escalate.
- On negotiation: rent / deposit / agency-fee negotiations escalate, since those are settled at offer-letter time, not by the agent.
- On explicit request: caller says “transfer me” / “let me speak to someone”.
- On stuck: if the agent can’t make progress in two turns, hand off rather than loop.
on_stuck is off), the rental pack turns every trigger on, reflecting the higher-pressure, faster-moving nature of leasing inquiries.
Worth knowing
- Cheques are first-class. UAE annual leases are commonly paid in 1 / 4 / 6 / 12 cheques, and fewer cheques typically command lower headline rent. The pack captures
cheques_per_yearand tells the agent to clarify whether a quoted “budget” is per month or per cheque, so the math is never ambiguous. - Visa-status gating. Some landlords filter applicants by employment status, residency, or visa type before approving. The
current_visa_statusslot captures this up front so the agent only surfaces listings the renter can actually apply for. - Pets are landlord-gated. The
petslead slot is matched against thepets_allowedoffering attribute, so a renter with pets isn’t shown a unit the landlord won’t approve. - A viewing does not hold a unit. Rental inventory turns fast, so the agent never promises a property will still be available after the viewing, and the post-confirm copy reiterates that a unit is reserved only after a signed application and security deposit.
- Rentals only. If a caller mentions buying, a mortgage, or investment, the agent politely notes that this pack handles rentals and offers to route them to the firm’s sales team via a handoff.
- Post-confirmation copy. The pack’s
booking_post_confirm_hintinstructs the confirmation to include the property address (with building / floor / unit number), the listed monthly rent and any known deposit / agency-fee terms, the viewing time and duration, the agent’s name, and what to bring (Emirates ID or passport for the application; recent payslip or bank statement if the landlord pre-screens).
Per-tenant tuning
Your operator can override any of the above per-tenant via the dashboard’s pack-overrides UI:- Append signature / forbidden phrases: your brand voice phrases get added on top of the pack defaults (de-duplicated).
- Replace prompt overrides per-key: e.g. tenant-specific qualification rules (a short-term / serviced-apartment specialist focusing on arrival dates) replace the pack’s value for that key only.
- Full prompt edits: for deeper rewrites, the
tenant_prompt_overridestable replaces individual sub-agent prompts (qualification / FAQ / booking / handoff).
