The story

I'm Farzin. I run Xerad.

Before I built lead tools for other businesses, I built one for myself — a WhatsApp-based AI agent called NestM8 that qualifies real estate leads for Vancouver's Farsi-speaking community. It took a cold ad click to a qualified realtor handoff in under 3 minutes. No human needed.

That system taught me what actually works in lead generation: not more landing pages, not more email sequences, not another PDF nobody reads. What works is giving people something genuinely useful — a tool, a conversation, an answer to their question — and earning their info in the process.

We started in real estate. Now we're bringing the same system to mortgage brokers, med spas, and insurance agents — the specific tool changes, but the principle is the same: lead with value, capture intent, qualify automatically.

The AI behind these tools isn't a ChatGPT wrapper. It's custom-built, properly engineered, and designed to get smarter every week it runs.

Built NestM8: AI lead qualification on WhatsApp

خرد
khe · rad
Wisdom. Intellect. Reason.

Xerad comes from kherad (خرد), a Middle Persian word meaning wisdom and intellect. Not just knowledge — the ability to reason well and act with discernment. That's the standard every tool is built to.

Principles

Results, not technology

You don't care how the AI works. You care that your calendar is full and your phone is ringing. We optimize for outcomes, not complexity.

Live in 14 days

Working version in your hands in two weeks. Then we refine based on real data, not guesswork.

You own everything

No vendor lock-in. No proprietary platforms. Everything we build is yours. Cancel anytime.

We eat our own cooking

We built NestM8 — an AI lead qualification agent — for ourselves first. We use the same tools we sell. If it doesn't work for us, we don't sell it to you.
