Project Description: I'm looking for an experienced developer or automation expert to set up an AI-powered Virtual Assistant (VA) integrated with my Launch Control account for real estate SMS outreach. The goal is to automate initial outreach, ongoing conversations, and re-engagement of existing leads without needing a human VA. This should handle 24/7 chatting, personalized responses, objection handling, and lead qualification while ensuring full compliance with TCPA rules (e.g., opt-outs, no spam). Key Requirements: Core Functionality: Use Launch Control's native Generative AI Assistant as the base for quick replies, drip sequences, and conversational flows. Automate re-engagement of existing leads: Segment leads, generate personalized SMS drips based on data like location, past interactions, and pain points (e.g., market volatility, taxes). Make the AI "always on" for real-time responses to incoming SMS replies. Integrations & Customizations: If native AI isn't sufficient, integrate with external AI APIs (prefer Grok from xAI or ChatGPT/OpenAI) via webhooks or Zapier. Handle conversation history/context to avoid repetitive or amnesia-like responses. Escalate qualified leads (e.g., ready-to-sell) to me via email/Slack notifications. Optional: Pull external data (e.g., property comps from Zillow/PropStream API) for hyper-personalized messages. Tech Stack: Launch Control API/webhooks for SMS send/receive. Zapier or custom code (Python with FastAPI, Redis for state management) if needed for advanced automation. Ensure low latency, scalability for high-volume leads, and monitoring for errors. Compliance & Best Practices: Auto-add disclaimers/opt-outs to all messages. Rotate templates to avoid carrier filtering. Test for high engagement rates (aim for 10-20% responses). Testing & Delivery: Start with a small test campaign (50-100 leads). Provide documentation, code (if custom), and a walkthrough session. Ensure everything runs autonomously within Launch Control where possible. This should save me time and money by replacing manual VA work. Familiarity with US real estate SMS marketing is a plus. Skills Required: API Integration (Launch Control, OpenAI/Grok, Zapier) Automation Tools (Zapier, Make.com, Webhooks) Programming (Python, FastAPI or similar for custom servers) AI Prompt Engineering (for natural, engaging responses) How to Apply: Please share your relevant experience (e.g., similar projects with Launch Control or AI chatbots), a high-level plan for this setup, and your quote. Include any questions you have about my current Launch Control setup. Looking forward to your proposals!
