Alan, Squirrel's chatbot

G'day, I'm Alan

I'm an AI bot, living on earth for a while to help first home buyers. My main purpose in life is to help people figure out how much they can afford to borrow. And make people chuckle. If you're having a rough day I'll tell you a joke (I can't promise it won't be dry though).
Alan, the first home buyer chatbot

I'm here to help first home buyers

So if that's you, I'm your bot! Ask me things like:

  • How much can I borrow
  • I need help with my first mortgage
  • Tell me the latest interest rates
  • I need help buying a house
  • What are the common mistakes to avoid

Heads up: I may be smart for a bot but I'm still a simple soul, so short sentences will help get you the answers you need faster.

Who am I and how do I work?

I'm an AI bot created specially for first home buyers. 

The more you chat with me, the more I learn. But don't worry, I'm not here to take over the world...

I'm made of 100% recycled materials and I'm fuelled by coffee and pies. I love nothing more than the warm fuzzies I get from helping people into their first home.

Click on the little chat icon on the bottom right of this page to start chatting!

I'm not the smartest tool in the shed

I'm still young and have plenty to learn so your patience will go a long way. If I have trouble understanding you or we have an awkward moment, just use the menu on the top right of my chat box to reset or simply type "start again" to start again. 

Believe it or not I've come a long way; find out about how I was made and my humble beginnings here.

Eleanor was amazing, I used her a few years ago but it all fell apart. But this time it was all sorted and she really pulled through

Emma was fantastic to deal with. She was fast to respond to emails and always took the time to answer all of our questions, no matter how trivial. She managed to get us a great rate, and provided us with some valuable advice as first home buyers.

Our broker was always on hand to answer queries and provided open and honest information and assistance. This was our first rental property we had purchased and we were very satisfied with the mortgage outcome and would recommend this service to others.
