STACK
Agentic AI, Real-time APIs, Google Maps, CMS
// OBJECTIVE
iQ operates ~80 buildings across UK university cities. Quality student accommodation goes beyond physical space—iQ needed to deliver a more confident student journey from the very first click, supporting students, residents, and parents with seamless digital experiences.
// THE BREAKTHROUGH
We built Q—an agentic AI assistant deployed on iQ’s website that autonomously plans how to combine data sources—static content, real-time availability APIs, and Google Maps—to answer each student’s question with a personalised response. Q helps students explore optimal locations, understand pricing and availability, and get insights into iQ residential life.
// APPROACH
CMS integration for editable content, real-time API orchestration for pricing and availability, and an agentic planning layer that decides which sources to query for each request.
// OUTCOME
Students get real-time, personalised accommodation answers through a single conversational interface instead of navigating multiple search tools. iQ publicly endorsed the partnership as part of their Driven by Digital commitment to improving resident communication.
