AloAi Text Agent: The smarter way to handle SMS conversations at scale

If your reps are still chasing leads over SMS with manual copy-paste follow-ups, you’re not running a modern sales engine. The AloAi Text Agent automates two-way texting with smart, contextual replies without sounding like a bot.

Why did we build this

Most AI text bots fall into two camps: they either blast scripted sequences with zero personalization, or they break as soon as a contact replies with something unexpected. That’s a problem if you’re running outbound at scale or trying to re-engage cold leads.

We built AloAi Text Agent for one goal: to give users an AI teammate that can carry the conversation forward in real time without requiring your reps to hover over every SMS thread.

Whether it’s appointment confirmations, quote follow-ups, or nurturing dormant contacts, AloAi Text Agent reads and replies with intent-aware answers. No templates. No logic trees. Just contextual, on-brand messaging.

What AloAi Text Agent can do (that others can’t)

Real conversations, not sequences
AloAi Text Agent doesn’t rely on static message flows. It listens to the conversation, understands the user’s intent, and replies in real time. No matter if a lead says, “I’m busy right now” or “Can you send me pricing?”, the agent picks up from there and responds appropriately.

Built to handle messy inputs
SMS is messy. People reply out of order, with typos, abbreviations, or sarcasm. AloAi Text Agent understands it all. Our NLP model is trained on thousands of real contact center transcripts, so it doesn’t break at “lol nvm tmrw is fine.”

Hands-off. But never out of control.
Admins set the tone and guardrails. You define the personality, scope, and fallback rules. Every message the AI sends is logged, recorded, and visible in the contact’s timeline. You can review, audit, and improve it at any time.

Admins vs Agents: How setup and usage differs

For Admins: Configuration and governance
Admins have full control over how Text Agents operate. They:

Create and configure the AloAi Text Agent from the dashboard
Define use cases like follow-ups, lead reactivation, or missed appointment recovery
Set response boundaries, tone, brand language, and fallback behaviors
Choose when the AI should stop responding and escalate to a live agent
Monitor all AI conversations in the contact timeline and make adjustments as needed

Admins are responsible for shaping the AI’s behavior and making sure it aligns with campaign goals and compliance standards. If your team is running a high-volume campaign, admins can deploy multiple Text Agents tuned for specific scenarios or departments.

For Agents: Hands-Off assist, full visibility
Frontline agents don’t need to set anything up. When assigned to a contact, the AloAi Text Agent handles the messaging until human handoff is needed.

Agents can:

View all AI interactions inside the contact’s timeline
Jump in at any time to take over the conversation
Get notified when contacts reply with high intent (e.g., booking requests or quote approvals)
Use the agent performance view to analyze AI conversations and flag anything unusual

The result: agents stay focused on closing, not chasing.

Use cases that drive value (with real math)

Speed-to-lead: From 10 minutes to instant
Let’s say you get 200 inbound form leads per day. Your reps take an average of 10 minutes to respond via SMS. That’s 2,000 minutes of delay daily.
With AloAi Text Agent turned on, replies go out instantly. No queue. No routing delay. That’s 33 hours of lead-time saved per day, which translates directly into better connect rates.

Re-engagement at scale
You have 5,000 cold leads sitting in your CRM. Normally, your team runs reactivation campaigns once a month, hitting 500 to 800 contacts max.
With AloAi Text Agent, you can hit all 5,000 at once. The AI handles replies, keeps conversations going, and flags hot leads to your reps.

Appointment and quote follow-ups
No-shows and unclosed quotes are a cash leak. With AloAi Text Agent, you can configure follow-up agents to auto-message contacts who missed appointments or left quotes unanswered for 48 hours. They’ll reply with a reschedule link or nudge the deal forward.

How to get started

Create a new AloAi Agent in the dashboard and choose “Text” as the primary action.
Define your use case: Is this for follow-ups, reactivation, inbound handling, or lead response?
Set goals and fallback triggers: What does success look like (e.g., booked call, pricing sent), and when should the agent hand off to a human?
Preview and deploy: Text Agent will start responding instantly. You can monitor and optimize it directly from the contact’s log.
