The problem
A freeform assistant can produce inconsistent replies, mix context between conversations, or send messages that a human did not explicitly approve.
Safety-first research
Local Real Estate Assistant
Internal research into making a local real-estate messaging assistant predictable enough to support narrow workflows without handing freeform automation control of client communication.

Current project file
The current approach
The prototype was redesigned around deterministic replies, isolated sessions, explicit opt-out handling, human review, and outbound controls that deny action unless the state is known and allowed.
03
What exists in the prototype
A focused selection of the work that defines this project at its current status.
- Exact canned replies for supported situations
- Isolated conversation sessions and state handling
- Opt-out recognition and default-deny outbound controls
- Automated tests for critical messaging safeguards
04 · How it works
A plain-language system view
An inbound lead message creates an owner alert with the complete message and an approval code. No ordinary response is sent until the owner approves one exact canned reply; recognized opt-outs follow a separate deterministic confirmation and suppression path.
05
Safeguards & boundaries
Live end-to-end validation remains pending, so the prototype is not presented as a production messaging system.
Fat Cat Finance does not offer installation or maintenance of the underlying OpenClaw framework as a service.
06 · Current evidence
What supports the status today
Internal only; not offered as a service
- Nine automated safety tests cover lead intake, approval, opt-outs, one-time delivery, sender identity, and denial of invented text.
- OpenClaw, the local gateway, and iMessage are configured and health-checked; a controlled real-phone workflow test remains pending.
Current outcome
An internal prototype demonstrating how stronger deterministic safeguards can replace unreliable freeform messaging behavior.
Next step
Complete controlled end-to-end validation before considering any real-world use beyond internal research.
