AgentSkip

Overview

AgentSkip is an AI-powered listing assistant built to help homeowners sell their property without hiring a real estate agent. Designed while navigating the sale of my own condo, Skip handles buyer inquiries, shares documents, books showings, and even answers calls—making FSBO smoother, smarter, and way more affordable.

The Challenge

Selling without a realtor (FSBO) presents real barriers:

• Constant, repetitive buyer questions across platforms
• Confusion over strata documents, scheduling, and disclosures
• Pressure to hire agents just to manage the communication load
• High commission costs eating into seller profit

The Concept

AgentSkip reframes the FSBO process with automation and clarity:

• Conversational AI agent that responds on Facebook, Craigslist, email
• Voice assistant buyers can call directly via Twilio
• Calendar integration to schedule showings automatically
• Prompt-driven reply engine for strata docs, levy disclosures, and pricing objections

Approach

Design Philosophy

This project is a live MVP rooted in real pain:

• Make AI feel trustworthy, not robotic
• Empower sellers to retain control and margins
• Use automation to reduce burnout and increase deal flow

Workflow

• Prompt Design: Built a listing-specific ChatGPT prompt to handle questions with empathy and accuracy
• Inbox Routing: Used Zapier and Gmail to feed inquiries into Skip for real-time response
• Voice AI Layer: Set up Twilio to let buyers speak with Skip by phone
• Booking Flow: Integrated Calendly and confirmation logic to streamline showings
• UI Shell: Generated a waitlist landing page using V0 + Tailwind

Outcomes

Wins

• Skip answered 90% of buyer questions automatically
• 4 showings booked via Skip without manual follow-up
• Buyers commented on the speed and clarity of communication
• Estimated $30,000 saved in agent commission

Future Iterations

• Expanded integrations (WhatsApp, SMS)
• Mobile-friendly seller dashboard to track leads and responses
• In-app document manager for automated sharing of disclosures

Key Learnings

• The biggest FSBO challenge isn’t price—it’s communication fatigue
• People are willing to talk to AI if it’s helpful and human-sounding
• Frictionless scheduling is just as important as good messaging

Tools Used

• Frontend: Tailwind CSS, React, V0
• Backend: Airtable, Zapier, Supabase
• AI: ChatGPT (custom prompt chains), Whisper for voice-to-text
• Voice & Messaging: Twilio, Gmail, Calendly
• Build & Deployment: Cursor, Vercel
• Design: Figma for flow planning and brand feel

AgentSkip isn’t just replacing agents—it’s replacing the stress of selling solo.
