DEALISM AI AGENT

I can help check. Which service do you need, and what area are you in?

From question to next step

From a Short Message to Useful Job Context

Customers rarely begin with a complete service brief. Collect only the context your team needs to act.

  1. 1Identify

    Clarify whether the customer needs repair, installation, maintenance, inspection, cleaning, or another approved service.

    Identify

  2. 2Locate

    Ask for the area, city, ZIP code, or other location detail your team uses.

    Locate

  3. 3Understand

    Gather the timing, urgency, site type, or project condition that changes the next step.

A fast reply is only useful if the next person knows what the customer needs.

Across the customer journey

Different Requests Need Different Conversations

The information your team needs—and the promises the Agent should avoid—change with the customer’s situation.

Moment 01

New service request

Identify the service, location, timing, and relevant project context before an estimate, inspection, or human review.

Prepare the request

Moment 02

Appointment request

Collect the preferred time and service details, then send an approved booking page or prepare the request for review.

Keep request and confirmation distinct

Moment 03

Existing job or complaint

Gather initial context and make room for a person without promising a refund, revised schedule, or technical outcome.

Route with context

The boundary that matters

A Request Is Not a Confirmation

Make the current state clear while your team keeps control of real commitments.

Requested

Can someone come on Friday?

The customer has shared a preferred time, service, or location. It is a request—not yet an appointment.

Context collected

What does your team need to know?

Collect the service, area, timing, urgency, and relevant job conditions your business defines.

Ready for review

What happens next?

Guide the request to an estimate, inspection, booking page, callback, or person without making a commitment.

Business confirmed

Is the job now booked?

Only your business or an approved process confirms price, availability, feasibility, or an appointment.

Answer From the Business Information You Approve

A local business chatbot should not improvise its way through a customer request. Give the Agent the services, coverage rules, policies, processes, and approved answers customers are allowed to receive.

Questions before you start

Frequently Asked Questions

It is a conversational Agent trained on a business’s approved services, coverage areas, policies, and qualification rules. It can answer common questions, collect useful request details, and guide the customer toward an estimate request, inspection, booking page, callback, or person.

Many AI receptionist products focus on phone calls. Dealism focuses on text conversations across supported WhatsApp, Instagram, WABA, and Website Live Chat channels.

No. This Local Services experience focuses on supported messaging and website chat conversations, not AI phone answering.

Your business can provide services, exclusions, coverage areas, approved prices or guidance, operating information, policies, estimate or inspection processes, booking pages, and handoff rules.

Yes. The Agent can ask about the service, location, timing, urgency, property or equipment context, and other criteria your business defines. Qualification prepares the request for a next step; it does not guarantee the business will accept the job.

It can ask for the location and apply the coverage information your team provides. If the rules are unclear or need review, the Agent should involve a person rather than promise coverage.

The Agent can explain approved prices or processes, collect a preferred time, send an approved booking page, or prepare a request. It should not invent a final quote or imply real-time availability.

Not currently. If the conversation requires files or other materials, a person can take over and send the appropriate attachment manually.

Yes. Your team can join with the earlier conversation context visible when safety, technical judgment, final pricing, current availability, an exception, or personal attention is involved.

Dealism supports Instagram, WhatsApp App, WhatsApp Business Platform, and Website Live Chat. Setup requirements and plan allowances differ by channel.

Yes. The configured trigger is free and uses no AI credits. AI-generated replies, qualification, recommendations, and follow-up are separate and use credits.

Yes. Dealism is a Meta Business Partner and uses supported Meta business messaging connections.

From a question to an actionable request

Turn the Next “Can You Help?” Into a Request Your Team Can Act On
