AI Agent Development · 20+ Years Experience
AI Agents That
Close Leads While You Sleep
Your SEO and AI search optimization drive traffic. Your website converts visitors into leads. But what happens when a potential customer hits your site at 11 PM on a Saturday? Or calls your office line during the lunch rush? With custom AI agents built by Consortium NYC, they get answered instantly — questions handled, leads qualified, appointments booked, intake forms completed. In English and Spanish. Via chat, SMS, or phone. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. No missed calls. No lost leads. No more revenue slipping through the cracks while your team is busy or offline.
What Are AI Agents and Why Does Your NYC Business Need Them?
An AI agent is a software system powered by large language models that can understand natural language, hold intelligent conversations, and take real actions on behalf of your business — booking appointments, qualifying leads, answering questions, processing intake forms, sending follow-up messages, and routing urgent requests to your team. Unlike traditional chatbots that follow rigid, pre-written scripts and break the moment a customer says something unexpected, AI agents understand context, handle nuance, and adapt to the conversation in real time.
For NYC service businesses — plumbers, electricians, lawyers, dentists, HVAC contractors, cleaning services — the business case is brutally simple. Research shows that 62 percent of calls to service businesses go unanswered. 78 percent of customers hire the first business that responds. Every missed call, every unanswered chat message, every after-hours website visitor who leaves without making contact is a customer who called your competitor instead. An AI agent eliminates that problem entirely.
But our AI agents go far beyond just answering the phone. They qualify leads by asking the right questions — what service do you need, where are you located, what is your timeline, what is your budget. They book appointments directly into your calendar without any human intervention. They handle your most common FAQs with answers pulled from your own content and on-page SEO data. They process intake forms for new customers. They send follow-up messages and appointment reminders. They work in English and Spanish. They work across your website, SMS, and phone — simultaneously. And they never take a day off.
This is not theoretical. We built Selenas — the AI sales assistant inside Full Loop CRM — and it handles approximately 80 percent of receptionist duties for the businesses that use it. 24/7 bilingual SMS conversations, lead qualification, appointment booking, follow-ups. Selenas is production-tested, battle-hardened, and processing thousands of real conversations every month. The same team that built Selenas builds custom AI agents for our clients. We are not selling you an idea. We are deploying technology we have already proven works.
Our 6-Step AI Agent Development Process
Every AI agent project follows the same proven framework — adapted to your business, your customers, and your specific conversion goals.
Discovery & Business Analysis
We start by understanding how your business handles leads today. How many calls do you get per day? How many go unanswered? What happens to after-hours inquiries? What questions do customers ask most frequently? How do you currently qualify leads? What does your intake process look like? We audit your call logs, website chat history, Google Business Profile messages, and SMS conversations. We identify every gap where leads are falling through the cracks and calculate the revenue you are losing to slow response times, missed calls, and after-hours dead zones. This analysis becomes the foundation for everything we build.
Knowledge Base Construction
Your AI agent is only as good as the data it is trained on. We build a comprehensive knowledge base from every piece of structured data your business has — your service descriptions, pricing, service areas, FAQs, scheduling availability, intake requirements, qualification criteria, and competitive differentiators. If you are already running SEO with us, we pull directly from the same structured data that powers your search rankings. Your on-page content, schema markup, FAQ sections, and location pages all feed into the knowledge base. This is the critical connection most AI developers miss — the same data that makes you rank in Google also makes your AI agent intelligent.
Conversation Flow Design
We design every conversation path your agent will handle — from a simple FAQ response to a complex multi-step lead qualification flow. How should the agent greet visitors at different times of day? What qualifying questions should it ask, and in what order? How should it handle pricing questions? When should it offer to book an appointment? When should it escalate to a human? What should it do when it does not know the answer? We map every scenario, design the response logic, and build in personality that matches your brand. This is not template work — every flow is custom-designed for your business.
Integration & Development
We build your AI agent on production-grade infrastructure. Supabase for secure data storage and real-time operations. Telnyx for voice calls and SMS messaging. Next.js for the web chat interface. We integrate your agent with your CRM — whether that is Full Loop CRM, HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel, or any platform with an API. We connect to your calendar for real-time appointment booking. We set up SMS automation through Telnyx for 24/7 text-based conversations. If you need voice AI, we configure Telnyx voice agents with natural-sounding speech and real-time call handling. Every integration is custom-built — we do not use generic chatbot platforms that break under real-world load.
Testing & Training
We test every conversation path, every edge case, and every integration point before your agent goes live. We run hundreds of simulated conversations in both English and Spanish. We test voice quality and latency for phone agents. We verify appointment booking accuracy against your real calendar. We test escalation logic to make sure urgent calls reach your team instantly. We stress-test under load to ensure the agent handles multiple simultaneous conversations without degradation. We run adversarial tests — customers who are angry, confused, or trying to break the system. Nothing goes live until it handles every scenario we can throw at it.
Deployment, Monitoring & Continuous Optimization
We deploy your agent and begin monitoring performance in real-time from day one. We track every conversation, every lead captured, every appointment booked, every escalation triggered. We analyze conversation logs weekly to identify patterns — questions the agent struggles with, points where customers drop off, opportunities to improve qualification accuracy. We expand the knowledge base, tune responses, and optimize conversion flows continuously. Your AI agent does not just maintain performance over time — it gets measurably better every week it is in production. Monthly performance reports show you exactly how many leads the agent captured, how many appointments it booked, and what your ROI looks like.

Your SEO Data Powers Your AI Agent
This is what makes our approach fundamentally different from every other AI agent developer. We do not build AI agents in a vacuum — we build them on the same structured data that drives your search engine rankings.
Structured Data Becomes Conversational Intelligence
When we build your SEO campaign, we create structured data for every service you offer, every neighborhood you serve, every question your customers ask, and every competitive differentiator that sets you apart. This same structured data — your on-page content, your FAQ sections, your service descriptions, your location-specific pricing — feeds directly into your AI agent's knowledge base. When a customer asks your chatbot about emergency plumbing in Park Slope, the agent pulls from the same data that ranks your Park Slope plumbing page in Google. The data that drives traffic also drives conversions. Two systems, one data layer.
SEO Drives Traffic. AI Agents Convert It.
Think of it as a complete loop. Your local SEO and AI search optimization bring visitors to your site. Your website makes a strong first impression. Your AI agent engages visitors instantly, answers their questions, qualifies them as leads, and books appointments — all before your competitor even checks their voicemail. The customer found you through SEO, engaged with content built by your content marketing strategy, and was converted by an AI agent trained on that same content. Then your analytics track every step of that journey from first click to booked appointment. That is what a fully integrated digital system looks like.
AI Conversations Improve Your SEO
The relationship works in reverse too. Every conversation your AI agent has with a real customer generates data — questions you did not expect, objections you had not addressed, services customers ask about that you had not highlighted. We feed this conversational intelligence back into your SEO strategy. New FAQ content. New long-tail keyword targets. New service pages. New AI-generated content ideas based on real customer conversations. Your AI agent is not just a conversion tool — it is a continuous market research engine that makes your SEO smarter over time.
Your Competitors Are Answering Leads at 2 AM. Are You?
Every after-hours inquiry that goes unanswered is a customer who called the next business on Google. AI agents make sure that never happens.
Selenas: The AI Sales Assistant We Built and Use Every Day
We do not just build AI agents for clients — we built one for ourselves. Selenas is the AI sales assistant embedded in Full Loop CRM, our proprietary customer relationship management platform. Selenas handles approximately 80 percent of receptionist duties for the businesses running on Full Loop — and it does it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in both English and Spanish.
Here is what Selenas does in production, right now, every single day: answers inbound SMS messages within seconds. Qualifies leads by asking about service needed, location, timeline, and budget. Books appointments directly into the business's calendar. Sends confirmation messages and day-of reminders. Follows up with leads who went cold. Handles rescheduling requests. Answers FAQs about pricing, service areas, and availability. Escalates complex or urgent conversations to the business owner or team lead. All of this happens automatically, around the clock, without a human touching it.
Selenas is not a prototype or a demo. It is a production system processing thousands of real conversations every month. The technology, the conversation design patterns, the integration architecture, the bilingual capabilities, the escalation logic — everything we learned building and running Selenas goes directly into the custom AI agents we build for clients. When we tell you our AI agents work, we are not speculating. We are showing you something we use ourselves, at scale, in production.
The businesses using Selenas through Full Loop CRM report an average 40 percent increase in booked appointments, a 65 percent reduction in missed leads, and response times that dropped from hours to seconds. Those are not projections — those are measurements from real businesses running real AI agents that we built and maintain.

Our AI Agent Technology Stack
We build on real infrastructure — not drag-and-drop chatbot platforms that break under load. Every component is selected for reliability, scalability, and security.
Supabase — The Data Layer
Supabase provides the backbone for every AI agent we build — enterprise-grade PostgreSQL for data storage, real-time subscriptions for live conversation updates, row-level security for data isolation between clients, and edge functions for serverless logic. Conversation histories, customer profiles, knowledge base content, lead scores, and appointment records all live in Supabase. It is open-source, SOC 2 compliant, and scales to millions of records without performance degradation. We chose Supabase over Firebase specifically because we need the relational power of PostgreSQL for complex AI agent workflows — join tables, full-text search, and JSONB columns for flexible schema storage.
Telnyx — Voice & SMS Infrastructure
Telnyx powers all of our voice and SMS capabilities — phone number provisioning, voice call handling, SMS messaging, and programmable voice with AI integration. When our AI agent answers a phone call, Telnyx handles the telephony layer — carrier-grade voice quality, low latency, and global coverage. For SMS-based AI conversations, Telnyx provides reliable message delivery, long-code and short-code support, and compliance with carrier filtering requirements. We chose Telnyx over Twilio because of superior voice quality, lower latency, better pricing, and deeper support for programmable AI voice applications.
Next.js — The Web Interface
Your AI chat widget runs on the same Next.js framework we use to build entire websites. Server-side rendering for instant load times. API routes for secure backend communication. React-based components for responsive, accessible chat interfaces. Edge deployment through Vercel for global low-latency performance. The chat widget adds zero measurable impact to your page speed — unlike third-party chat scripts that add 200-500ms to your load time and tank your Core Web Vitals.
Resend — Transactional Email
Resend handles all transactional emails triggered by your AI agent — appointment confirmations, follow-up messages, lead notification emails to your team, and summary reports. Built by the same team that created React Email, Resend delivers messages reliably with beautiful, branded templates. No emails going to spam. No reliance on your personal email server. Professional, consistent communications every time your AI agent triggers an action.
Full Loop CRM — The Command Center
For businesses on Full Loop CRM, AI agent integration is native and seamless. Conversations, leads, appointments, and customer profiles all live in a single platform. Selenas — our AI sales assistant — is built directly into Full Loop, and custom AI agents connect to the same data layer. For businesses on other CRMs, we build custom API integrations that provide the same level of connectivity.
No WordPress. No Drag-and-Drop. No Compromises.
We do not use Chatfuel, ManyChat, Drift, Intercom, or any consumer-grade chatbot platform. Those tools are fine for basic FAQ bots. They are not sufficient for AI agents that need to qualify leads, book appointments, handle voice calls, process intake forms, and manage bilingual conversations across multiple channels simultaneously. Our agents are custom-built from the ground up on production infrastructure that scales. The same way we build websites on Next.js instead of WordPress because performance matters, we build AI agents on Supabase and Telnyx instead of chatbot builders because reliability matters.
Who Our AI Agents Are Built For
AI agents deliver the highest ROI for service businesses with high lead volumes, high customer values, and after-hours demand. If your customers contact you when your team is not available, you need an AI agent.
We serve over 170 service categories across 318 neighborhoods in the NYC metro area. If your business handles inbound leads and your customers expect fast response times, contact us about a custom AI agent.

10 AI Agent Mistakes Businesses Make (and How We Avoid Them)
Using a generic chatbot builder with pre-written scripts
Generic chatbots break the moment a customer asks something outside the script. Our agents use large language models trained on your actual business data — they understand context, handle unexpected questions, and respond naturally. Every conversation feels human because it is powered by real AI, not decision trees.
Not training the AI on real business data
Most chatbot implementations use generic knowledge that has nothing to do with your specific business. We build custom knowledge bases from your services, pricing, service areas, FAQs, and competitive differentiators. The agent knows your business as well as your best employee does.
English-only agents in a bilingual market
NYC is one of the most linguistically diverse cities on earth. A significant percentage of your potential customers prefer to communicate in Spanish. Every AI agent we build handles English and Spanish with equal fluency — automatic language detection, no awkward translations, natural conversation in both languages.
No escalation path to human agents
An AI agent that cannot hand off to a human when needed frustrates customers and loses leads. We build intelligent escalation logic into every agent — the system knows when to transfer to your team, how to do it seamlessly, and how to pass along full conversation context so your team never asks the customer to repeat themselves.
Building on platforms that do not scale
Consumer chatbot platforms work fine for 10 conversations a day. They crash when you get 100. We build on Supabase and Telnyx — enterprise infrastructure that handles thousands of simultaneous conversations without degradation. Your AI agent works during your busiest hours, not just your quietest ones.
Ignoring voice and SMS channels
Most chatbot vendors only offer website widgets. But your customers also call, text, and message on multiple platforms. Our agents deploy across every channel — website chat, SMS via Telnyx, voice phone calls, and messaging platforms. One AI agent, every channel, consistent experience.
No connection between AI agents and SEO data
Other developers build AI agents that have no idea what your website says. We build agents powered by the same structured data that drives your search rankings. Your SEO content becomes your agent's knowledge base. Your agent's conversation data improves your SEO. It is a continuous improvement loop.
Deploying and forgetting
An AI agent that is never updated becomes outdated and starts giving wrong answers. We analyze conversation logs weekly, expand the knowledge base based on real customer questions, tune response quality, and optimize conversion flows continuously. Your agent gets better every month, not worse.
No analytics or ROI tracking
If you cannot measure what your AI agent is doing, you cannot justify the investment. We track every conversation, every lead captured, every appointment booked, every escalation. Monthly reports show you exactly how many leads the agent handled and what your return on investment looks like.
Treating AI agents as a replacement for humans instead of a force multiplier
The goal is not to eliminate your team — it is to make them dramatically more effective. AI agents handle the repetitive, time-consuming 80 percent — FAQs, qualification, scheduling, intake — so your team focuses on the high-value 20 percent that actually requires human judgment, empathy, and expertise.
Why NYC Businesses Choose The NYC SEO for AI Agents
We Built Selenas — We Know What Works
Most AI agent developers are building their first production system when they build yours. We already built ours. Selenas, the AI sales assistant inside Full Loop CRM, processes thousands of real conversations every month. We know what conversation patterns convert. We know what escalation logic works. We know how to handle bilingual conversations at scale. We know what breaks under load and what does not. Every lesson we learned building and operating Selenas goes directly into the custom agents we build for you.
20+ Years of Digital Experience
Our parent company, Consortium NYC, has over two decades of experience in digital marketing, branding, web development, and marketing consulting. We have seen every technology trend, every platform shift, and every new channel emerge. AI agents are not a fad for us — they are the natural evolution of 20 years of building systems that help businesses capture and convert leads. We understand not just the technology, but the business context that makes it valuable.
SEO + AI: Two Systems, One Data Layer
No other AI agent developer in NYC connects AI agents to SEO data the way we do. Your search rankings and your AI agent are powered by the same structured content. This means your agent is always accurate, always up-to-date, and always aligned with what your website tells Google. The data that drives traffic also drives conversions. No one else does this because no one else is both an SEO agency and an AI development shop.
Real Infrastructure, Not Chatbot Toys
We build on Supabase, Telnyx, Next.js, and Vercel — the same infrastructure that powers production applications serving millions of users. We do not use ManyChat, Chatfuel, or any drag-and-drop chatbot builder. Our agents handle voice calls, SMS conversations, and web chat simultaneously without breaking a sweat. When your HVAC company gets slammed with calls during the first cold snap of the year, your AI agent does not go down. It scales.
Bilingual by Default, Not by Add-On
In NYC, bilingual is not optional — it is essential. Every AI agent we build handles English and Spanish natively. Not through translation APIs that produce awkward, stilted responses, but through models that understand both languages fluently and switch between them seamlessly based on what the customer writes or says. For service businesses serving diverse NYC communities, this is the difference between capturing a lead and losing one.

“They built us an AI chatbot and SMS agent that handles after-hours leads for our HVAC company. Within the first month, the agent captured 47 leads that we would have completely lost — calls and texts that came in after 6 PM. Three of those turned into $15K+ jobs. The agent paid for itself in the first week. The bilingual support is a game-changer in Queens — about a third of our leads come in Spanish now and the AI handles them flawlessly.”
— Michael T., HVAC Company Owner, Queens
“We are a dental practice in the Bronx and we were losing patients to competitors who answered their phones faster. The voice AI agent they built for us answers every call instantly, books appointments into our system, and sends confirmation texts. Our no-show rate dropped by 40 percent because of the automated reminders. The intake automation saves our front desk staff at least two hours per day. Best investment we have made in five years.”
— Dr. Sandra L., Dental Practice, Bronx
We Built Selenas. We Will Build Yours.
The same team that built the AI sales assistant inside Full Loop CRM builds custom agents for businesses like yours. Production-proven. Battle-tested. Revenue-generating.
Frequently Asked Questions About AI Agent Development
Answers to the most common questions NYC service businesses ask about custom AI agents, chatbots, voice agents, and automation.
How much does custom AI agent development cost?
Our AI agent projects range from $7,500 to $30,000+ depending on complexity, integrations, and scope. A single-channel chatbot with FAQ handling and lead capture starts around $7,500. A multi-channel system with voice agents, SMS automation, CRM integration, bilingual support, and custom knowledge bases runs $15,000 to $30,000+. Monthly maintenance and optimization plans are available starting at $1,500 per month. Every project includes training, deployment, and 30 days of post-launch support.
What is an AI agent and how is it different from a regular chatbot?
A regular chatbot follows pre-written scripts — if someone asks something outside the script, it breaks. An AI agent uses large language models to understand context, handle complex conversations, and take real actions — booking appointments, qualifying leads, looking up pricing, transferring calls, and sending follow-up messages. Our AI agents are trained on your actual business data: your services, pricing, service areas, FAQs, and scheduling availability. They do not just answer questions — they close leads.
How long does it take to build and deploy a custom AI agent?
Most AI agent projects take 3 to 6 weeks from kickoff to deployment. Simple chatbot agents with FAQ handling can be live in 2 weeks. Complex multi-channel systems with voice agents, CRM integration, and custom knowledge bases take 4 to 8 weeks. We handle the entire process — knowledge base creation, conversation flow design, integration setup, testing, and deployment. You do not need any technical expertise on your end.
Can AI agents really handle phone calls?
Yes. Our voice AI agents use Telnyx telephony infrastructure to answer phone calls with natural-sounding conversation — not robotic IVR menus. They handle common questions, capture caller information, book appointments, provide business hours and pricing, and escalate urgent or complex calls to your team in real-time. Every call is logged, transcribed, and stored in your CRM. Voice agents are particularly valuable for service businesses that miss 40 to 60 percent of incoming calls during busy hours.
Do your AI agents work in Spanish?
Yes. All of our AI agents are built with full bilingual support — English and Spanish — out of the box. The agent automatically detects the language the customer is using and responds accordingly. This is critical for NYC service businesses where a significant portion of your customer base communicates in Spanish. Our AI agents handle both languages with equal fluency across chat, SMS, and voice channels.
How do AI agents use our SEO data?
This is what separates our approach from generic chatbot builders. Your SEO strategy already produces structured data about your services, service areas, pricing, FAQs, and competitive positioning. We use that same data to build your AI agent's knowledge base. When a customer asks your chatbot about drain cleaning in Park Slope, the agent pulls from the same structured content that ranks your drain cleaning page in Google. Your SEO and your AI agent reinforce each other — the data that drives rankings also drives conversions.
What platforms and channels do your AI agents support?
Our AI agents deploy across every channel your customers use: website chat widgets, SMS text messaging via Telnyx, voice phone calls, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram DMs, and email. Most of our service business clients start with website chat plus SMS, then add voice agents as a second phase. All channels feed into a single conversation history so your team always has full context, regardless of how the customer reached you.
What is Selenas and how does it relate to your AI agent work?
Selenas is the AI sales assistant built into Full Loop CRM — our proprietary CRM platform at homeservicesbusinesscrm.com. Selenas handles approximately 80 percent of receptionist duties: answering questions, qualifying leads, booking appointments, sending follow-ups, and managing customer conversations via SMS, all 24/7 in both English and Spanish. We built Selenas ourselves, and the same team that built it builds custom AI agents for our clients. Selenas is a real-world, production-tested example of exactly what we deliver.
Do I need to change my existing website or CRM to use AI agents?
No. Our AI agents integrate with your existing systems. We embed chat widgets on any website regardless of the platform. We connect to your existing CRM, calendar, and booking systems via API. If you are using Full Loop CRM, the integration is native and seamless. If you are on another platform — HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel, or any system with an API — we build custom integrations. You do not need to replace anything.
What happens when an AI agent cannot answer a question?
Every AI agent we build includes intelligent escalation logic. When a question falls outside the agent's knowledge base, is too complex for automated handling, or when the customer explicitly asks for a human, the agent seamlessly transfers the conversation to your team — via live chat handoff, phone transfer, SMS alert, or email notification, depending on your preference. The agent also logs the question so we can expand the knowledge base to handle it next time. Over time, the agent gets smarter and handles more conversations end-to-end.
How do you measure the ROI of an AI agent?
We track every metric that matters: total conversations handled, leads captured, appointments booked, after-hours leads that would have been lost, average response time versus your previous response time, qualification accuracy, and escalation rate. Most of our clients see full ROI within 60 to 90 days based on leads captured after hours alone. A single lead for a personal injury lawyer, plumber emergency call, or dental patient is often worth $500 to $5,000+ — one after-hours lead per week pays for the entire system.
Are AI agents secure? What about customer data privacy?
Security is built into every layer of our AI agent architecture. We use Supabase for data storage — enterprise-grade PostgreSQL with row-level security, encryption at rest, and SOC 2 compliance. All conversations are encrypted in transit via TLS. We never share customer data with third parties or use it to train external models. Our agents run on dedicated infrastructure, not shared public chatbot platforms. For businesses with specific compliance requirements — HIPAA, PCI, or industry-specific regulations — we build custom security configurations.
Can AI agents book appointments directly into my calendar?
Yes. Our AI agents integrate directly with Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Calendly, Acuity, and custom booking systems. The agent checks real-time availability, offers time slots to the customer, confirms the booking, sends confirmation messages via SMS or email, and adds the appointment to your calendar — all within a single conversation. No human intervention required. For service businesses that rely on appointment scheduling, this alone justifies the investment.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance and optimization after launch?
Yes. We offer monthly maintenance plans starting at $1,500 per month that include knowledge base updates, conversation flow optimization, performance monitoring, analytics reporting, and priority support. AI agents improve over time — we analyze conversation logs, identify patterns, expand the knowledge base, tune responses, and add new capabilities as your business evolves. Most clients on maintenance plans see a 20 to 30 percent improvement in agent performance within the first 90 days post-launch.
What industries benefit most from AI agents?
Any service business that handles inbound inquiries benefits from AI agents, but the highest-ROI industries are those with high lead values and high call volumes: personal injury lawyers, dentists, HVAC contractors, plumbers, electricians, medical practices, home remodelers, and real estate professionals. If you receive more than 20 inbound inquiries per week and your average customer value exceeds $500, an AI agent will almost certainly pay for itself within the first quarter.
How is The NYC SEO different from other AI agent developers?
Three things set us apart. First, we are an SEO agency — we build AI agents powered by the same structured data that drives your search rankings. No other AI developer connects these two systems. Second, we have a production-proven AI platform — Selenas, the AI assistant inside Full Loop CRM, handles thousands of real conversations monthly. We are not experimenting; we are deploying battle-tested technology. Third, we build on real infrastructure — Supabase, Telnyx, Next.js — not drag-and-drop chatbot builders that break under load. Our agents scale.
