How to streamline home builder onboarding?

Build an AI agent trained on your builder requirements, checklists, and process documents. It answers the same questions every home builder asks - insurance requirements, payment schedules, site access details - instantly and in your voice. Instead of your team repeating the same answers, the agent resolves them automatically, freeing up time for high-value tasks. This is the fastest way to bring consistency and speed to onboarding new home builders.

Stop chasing builders for paperwork. Use custom actions inside the chat to collect everything you need - license certificates, W-9 forms, proof of insurance, project scope sheets. A builder can upload documents and fill in fields during the conversation, and the action can trigger a confirmation or next step. All data is captured without a single email thread, compressing what was once a multi-day back-and-forth into minutes.

Custom actions don't just collect data - they can trigger your own systems. When a builder submits the final required document, an action can automatically create a project in your management tool, assign a coordinator in your CRM, or log the new builder in your database. No manual data entry, no copy-paste delays. This turns the chat into the hub of your builder intake workflow, scaling effortlessly as you bring on more builders.

Each new home builder you sign requires hours of communication and coordination. An AI agent handles the routine Q&A from the first message, while custom actions gather everything else. Your team only steps in for exceptions, not for every standard question or document request. The result: you onboard more builders in less time, with fewer dropped steps, and the experience feels responsive and professional for every builder.

What’s the best onboarding process for builders?
