Triage for WhatsApp
Lampline reads a Dubai broker's WhatsApp, read only. It shows the chats that need you, turns the broker groups into priced listings, and tells you which clients each one fits.
Seven chats need you; 1,144 messages of group chatter do not. Every chat lands in a lane, with the reason it is there.
Broker-group posts become listings you can search: unit, building, community, AED price and price per square foot.
Each new post is checked against your clients' briefs. When one fits, your phone tells you, with a reply drafted.
95 seconds, with sound. Every name, number and listing in the demo is invented. On an iPhone, open lampline.articulate-ai.work/app in Safari and choose Share, then Add to Home Screen, to try the phone app.
In Dubai, much of the stock that matters moves through broker groups: distress deals, pocket listings, exclusives, launch releases. One group can post four hundred messages a day, most of them greetings and congratulations.
Clients write in the same app. So do other brokers looking for a unit, developers with price lists and the office with deadlines. The client asking about a viewing sits between a "good morning" and a webinar invite.
"I'm typing the word studio and then going through each message."A Dubai agent, on searching his broker groups
Lampline reads each message and sorts every chat: needs you, listings, for information, quiet, and not read. Group chatter stops competing with clients.


Open a chat and it says why it matters: a client, a question, a viewing, a 15M budget, three hours waiting. Then it drafts a reply from what the groups are offering. You copy it and send it yourself.


Type "studio in JVC under 650k". Lampline reads the unit, the community and the budget, and returns priced listings with size, price per square foot, who posted them and when.


Each client's brief is checked against every listing the groups post. The penthouse buyer sees the one penthouse under 15M. The studio investor sees four.


When a broker posts a studio in JVC at 585k, the rule fires as the message arrives, with the clients it fits and the price per square foot.


Personal chats are marked never read and are skipped before their text is fetched. Lampline has no way to send, reply, forward or delete.


WhatsApp's official Business API cannot read groups you have joined or your personal chats. The only way in is the same one WhatsApp Web uses: linking a computer to your phone.
Linked-device bridges are unofficial, and WhatsApp has banned accounts using unofficial clients. Reading at low volume, without sending, lowers the exposure but does not remove it.
Lampline is a Mac app. Everything runs on the broker's own Mac mini, which stays on. The phone gets alerts. Each layer builds on the one below it.
Yes, a desktop app for the Mac, built with Tauri: the Rust engine and the React screens in one native window. Alerts reach the phone. Nothing needs a cloud server; the agent calls an AI model for the writing.
One broker, one working day. The clients and listings are the demo's invented ones.
214 messages overnight. Three people waiting: Elena wants Wednesday viewings, Selim asked about studios, Fabien is ready to sign. Two new listings fit Elena's penthouse brief.
At the Mac with coffee. Seven chats, each with its reasons and a draft. He edits two drafts, copies four replies into WhatsApp and marks them done. Eleven minutes.
A broker posts a studio in JVC at 585k. The rule fires with the clients it fits. He asks the agent for a one-page pack for Selim and sends it himself.
"What did Fabien say about his tenant?" The agent answers from the chat: the tenant leaves at the end of November. "Who has a 2-bed in Marina Gate under 3.2M?" Two listings, with who posted them.
Three penthouses from the groups, each with floor plan, recent sales in the building from DLD data and price per square foot. Built from the knowledge layer in a minute.
Tariq has a cash buyer for a 2-bed in Dubai Marina up to 3.2M. The agent spots Fabien's listing and drafts a reply to Tariq, with the split to agree.
Contacts, briefs and conversation notes synced. The office sees the pipeline without him typing it in.
Nothing in Needs you. Family chats were never read. The phone stays quiet until something needs him.
Several tools summarise and reply on WhatsApp. None we found parses Dubai broker groups into listings for the broker's own use, or matches them to client briefs.
