BRIKHousing: AI Smart Assistant for Housing_

Cut triage time, reduce missed cases and ensure your teams never miss a case. BRIKHousing’s AI Smart Assistant automatically reads, categorises and routes incoming messages 24/7, using Azure AI.

What is the AI Smart Assistant for housing?

Every day, your housing teams are flooded with emails, complaints and updates from tenants. Sorting through this manually is slow, error-prone and a strain on already stretched resources.

BRIKHousing’s AI Smart Assistant is designed to take the triage burden off your team. Using Microsoft Azure AI, it reads and understands every inbound message, whether it’s email, survey, web form or a social media message and instantly categorises it and triages to the right team. Using language and sentiment analysis to spot urgent or sensitive issues fast and instant categorisation such as damp and mould, ASB, repairs or safeguarding to get every message to the right team.

Whether it’s a repair request or a safeguarding concern, Smart Assistant becomes your always-on virtual contact centre ensuring that nothing slips through the cracks.

Why use the AI Smart Assistant in Housing?

During busy periods or after a backlog group inbox’s can quickly become unmanageable. Staff are stretched. And with rising issues like damp, ASB and disrepair claims, housing providers can’t afford to let messages sit untriaged.

Smart Assistant takes that weight off. It doesn’t just read incoming messages, it understands them. It uses language and sentiment analysis to spot urgent or sensitive issues fast, flagging them with Teams or Outlook alerts so your staff can act straight away.

It works out of the box with Microsoft Dynamics 365, plugs into your case management and adapts to the processes you already run, whether that’s repairs, complaints, or escalation protocols.
