AI voice agents for real estate, dental and inbound calls

An AI voice agent is software that holds a phone conversation on its own. It listens to the caller, turns their speech into text, decides what to say or do with a language model, and answers in a natural voice, fast enough that the exchange feels like a call rather than a menu. Unlike an old phone tree, it understands questions asked in the caller’s own words. THWorks builds voice agents that do a specific job end to end: calling back a new property lead, answering a dental practice’s phones after hours, or booking appointments and handing hard calls to a person. The agent works inside your systems, so a booking lands in your real calendar and the call is logged in your CRM.

Two kinds of cost, and it helps to separate them. The build is priced by THWorks as a fixed price for the agreed scope, settled before work starts; what moves it is how many systems the agent connects to, such as a calendar, a CRM or practice software, how many call types it handles, and how much testing the conversations need. If a new call type or integration comes up midway, it is priced and agreed with you before it is built. Running costs are separate and usage-based: the telephony provider and the speech and language models bill per minute of conversation. We estimate those with you at scoping from your real call volume, so the monthly figure is known before launch.

Yes, and booking is usually the point. The agent checks live availability in the calendar the business already uses, offers the caller real slots, and writes the confirmed appointment straight in, so nobody re-keys anything. We have built this against Google Calendar, Cal.com and a dental practice management system, Dentrix, where booking by procedure matters because a cleaning and a root canal need different chair time. The agent can also send a confirmation, take the intake details the practice needs before the visit, and reschedule when a caller asks.

Often, because property leads go cold quickly. Someone who fills in an enquiry form is usually comparing several listings at once, and the agent who calls first has the advantage. A voice agent can phone a new lead while they are still on the website, answer questions about the listing from the details you provide, qualify their budget and timing, and book a viewing against the agent’s live calendar. The conversation is logged to the CRM, and anything it cannot answer goes to a person. It works best for agencies with steady online enquiries and too few people to call each one back straight away.

It hands the call to a person rather than guessing. The agent is built with clear limits on what it handles, and when a caller asks for something outside them, is unhappy, or simply wants a human, it transfers the call. The person picking up gets a summary of the conversation so far, so the caller does not have to start again. If nobody is available, the agent takes a message with the details and books a callback. Every call is transcribed and logged, so the team can review what the agent handled and adjust its limits over time.

They should, and we build agents that say so near the start of the call. Being upfront tends to go better than callers working it out halfway through, and in a growing number of places disclosure is expected or required, so your legal team should confirm the rules where you operate. The voice and pacing can still be natural and on-brand. What matters to most callers is that the agent understands them, gets the booking right, and passes them to a person when they ask.

If most of your customers are happy to book online, a booking link and a reminder email are cheaper, and we will say so. A voice agent earns its cost when people prefer to call, when calls arrive while nobody can answer, or when speed matters, as it does with a fresh property lead. A useful test is how many calls go unanswered or how many enquiries wait more than an hour for a reply. If that number is small, start with the simpler fix.
