Elle by Garda AI

Your calls,
answered intelligently.
Every lead. Every time.

Elle is the AI receptionist built for real estate agents and brokers. She qualifies buyer and seller calls, routes inquiries to available agents, documents every conversation, and delivers a Slack brief before your agent picks up — 24/7.

 

Easy to Get Started — most clients are live within two days.

How it works

Three layers. One seamless experience.

01 — Capture

Never Miss a Call

Answers instantly, 24/7. No hold time, no voicemail. Every lead gets a knowledgeable response on the first ring — nights, weekends, holidays included.

02 — Qualify

Qualify the Lead

Elle asks the right questions naturally, determines the caller's intent and urgency in real time, and identifies the best available agent to handle the call.

03 — Transfer

Warm Handoff & Auto-Log

A Slack brief lands with your agent before they pick up: caller name, inquiry type, and call summary. Every call is recorded and automatically logged — zero manual CRM entry, ever.

Key integrations

Built around the tools your team already uses.

Follow Up Boss

Elle pulls your Follow Up Boss agent roster to route each caller to the right person on your team. After every call, a full log is written automatically — caller details, conversation summary, and recording — so your pipeline stays current without anyone touching a keyboard.

Slack

When a call needs a live agent, Elle fires a Slack message to the right person before the transfer connects — caller name, what they want, their pipeline stage, and any prior notes. Your agent picks up already knowing who they're talking to and why they called.

Custom integrations

Need Elle connected to a CRM, scheduling tool, ticketing system, or internal app? We build custom integrations with any system your team runs — so call data, routing, and handoffs fit your existing workflow end to end.

Core outcomes

What your team actually gets.

24/7

Zero Missed Leads

Every call answered instantly, regardless of hour. Leads that used to go to voicemail now enter your pipeline.

100%

Context Before Every Call

Your agent picks up already knowing the caller's name, what they want, and which agent is best suited to help — so every handoff starts with confidence, not guesswork.

ZERO

Manual CRM Entry

Every call auto-logged. Notes written, stages updated, dispositions recorded — with no one at a keyboard.

Elle vs. Other AI Receptionists

Most AI receptionists answer the phone.
Elle closes the loop.

Generic AI tools field calls and take messages. Elle qualifies intent in real time, routes to the right agent using your Follow Up Boss roster, briefs your team before they pick up, and logs every call automatically — with zero human intervention. That's not a receptionist. That's a revenue system.

"Other tools transfer the call. Elle transfers the context."

The Warm Handoff

Before your agent picks up, they already know the caller's name, what they want, where they are in the pipeline, and what happened last time. The first word out of your agent's mouth can be: "Hey Sarah, I see you're still looking at the Oak Street listing."

"Route the right call to the right agent, every time."

Intelligent Routing, Not Guesswork

Every other AI receptionist uses a static phone tree. Elle qualifies the caller's intent in real time, then routes to the right agent by name using your Follow Up Boss roster — no manual dispatch, no cold transfers.

"The pipeline that fills itself."

Zero Manual Data Entry. Forever.

The average agent spends 30–45 minutes a day updating their CRM from call notes. With Elle, that number is zero. Every call is automatically recorded, transcribed, and logged — whether it's a 45-second vendor call or a 12-minute buyer qualification.

AI Receptionist vs. Standard IVR

Not a phone tree. A conversation.

One closed transaction covers months of service. If this captures one after-hours lead per month that would have gone to voicemail, it pays for itself many times over.

 

 

Onboarding

Get live quickly, then tune from real call data.

We roll out in two clear phases: get Elle answering calls first, then use real call transcripts to refine her prompts and workflows so she matches exactly how your team operates.

Step 1 — Go Live

Elle answers calls and routes to agents or departments by name. Setup is straightforward once your Slack and Follow Up Boss are configured — most clients are live within days.

Step 2 - Optimize with your own call data

Record all calls Elle transfers to your live receptionist. Use recordings to build a fully optimized version of Elle for how your specific business actually operates.
