Short answer

How can I use my AI to qualify leads via SMS?

Your agent identifies the right conversation flow by checking your available playbooks and then executes the specific sequence for a new lead. You get a hands-off qualification process that moves leads through your funnel immediately.

The outcomes of automation.

Where your leads land.

Once the connection is live, your agent handles the heavy lifting of lead engagement.

AUTO-START

Instant lead engagement

The AI picks a playbook and starts the SMS conversation the moment a lead arrives. You don't have to manually text anyone.

QUALIFIED

Filtered prospect lists

The agent follows your logic to ask the right questions. You only see the leads that meet your specific criteria.

HUMAN

Ready for handoff

When a lead hits a high-value milestone, the AI stops and alerts you. You step in only when a real conversation is worth your time.

SYNCED

Consistent messaging

Every lead gets the same experience. The AI ensures no one falls through the cracks due to missed messages.

The workflow

What your AI does when a lead arrives.

Your agent acts as the bridge between a new contact and your established sales playbooks.

  1. Identify playbooks

    The agent looks through your Mav account to see which SMS qualification flows are ready to run.

  2. Select the flow

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI create new SMS playbooks?

    No. The AI can only list and trigger playbooks that you have already created in Mav.

  • 02

    Does the AI send messages without my permission?

    The AI sends messages as part of the playbook you tell it to trigger. It follows the logic defined in those playbooks.

  • 03

    Can the AI change my lead contact info?

    No. This MCP is designed to trigger playbooks, not to edit your CRM or contact database.

  • 04

    How does the AI know which playbook to use?

    You tell the AI which playbook to use, or you ask it to list available playbooks so it can decide based on your instructions.

  • 05

    Will the AI take over my phone number?

    No. The SMS messages are sent through the Mav infrastructure, not your personal device.
