Short answer

Can I unlock doors using my AI?

Yes. You can tell your AI to unlock specific doors or ask for a status report on your access points. This gives you direct control over your Brivo hardware through your chat interface.

Access control outcomes

What you can do

These are the specific actions your AI performs with Brivo.

REMOTE ACCESS

Trigger door unlocks

Your AI sends the command to open a specific door. This lets you grant entry without leaving your desk.

REAL TIME

Check door status

The AI checks if a door is locked or unlocked. You get an immediate update on the current state of your entry points.

INVENTORY

List all doors

Your AI pulls a full list of available access points. This helps you find the exact name or ID of the door you want to manage.

HUMAN ACTION

Physical security

The AI cannot physically inspect a door or repair hardware. You still need to manually check for physical obstructions or damage.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

The AI translates your natural language requests into direct Brivo commands.

  1. Identify the door

    The AI looks through your connected hardware to find the specific entry point you mentioned.

    list_doors

  2. Verify current state

    Before taking action, the AI can check if the door is already in the state you want.

    get_door_status

  3. Execute the unlock

    The AI sends the signal to the Brivo controller to release the lock.

    unlock_door

  4. Confirm completion

    The AI checks the door status one last time to ensure the command worked.

    get_door_status
