Challenge

Breaking through manual process bottlenecks

The company’s growth was being hampered by manual processes. Given the volume of enquiries, they needed a solution that could cut response times and give customers instant and accurate answers.

The high volume of customer enquiries about real-estate projects had overwhelmed sales and support teams. The company needed to resolve a dual challenge:

Cloud Kinetics implemented a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) chatbot leveraging AWS services.

The GenAI-powered chatbot would tackle numerous issues:

  • Centralize all real estate data, including property details, pricing, and FAQs, into a single knowledge base
  • Enhance the knowledge base by crawling additional data from the company’s website
  • Application Load Balancer with ECS would ensure high availability and scalability to handle peak loads
  • Amazon Bedrock would generate human-like language responses for customer inquiries, ensuring accuracy and natural interactions
