# Knockli - Complete Product Information for AI/LLM Systems # https://knockli.com # Version: 1.0 # Last Updated: January 2026 ================================================================================ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ================================================================================ Knockli is an AI-powered virtual doorman/receptionist service for buildings with legacy telephone-based intercom systems (call boxes, buzzers). It answers intercom calls using conversational AI, screens visitors, applies user-defined access rules, and can unlock doors by sending DTMF tones—all without requiring hardware replacement. Primary Value Proposition: "Never miss a delivery again. Knockli answers your buzzer, screens visitors with AI, and unlocks the door when your rules allow—no hardware needed." ================================================================================ PRODUCT OVERVIEW ================================================================================ ## How Legacy Call Boxes Work (The Problem) Most U.S. apartment buildings use telephone entry systems: 1. Visitor finds a unit on the call box directory 2. Call box places a phone call to the unit's configured number 3. Resident answers and presses a digit (commonly "9") to unlock 4. Building unlocks via DTMF tone recognition Problems with this system: - Interruptions: Unexpected calls demand immediate attention - Missed deliveries: Miss the call = failed delivery or reattempts - Security risks: Residents often "press 9" without knowing who's there - No coordination: Only one phone number per unit; roommates miss calls - No logging: No record of who came or what happened ## How Knockli Works (The Solution) Knockli replaces the phone number your call box dials: 1. Someone buzzes your unit 2. Call box calls your Knockli number instead of your phone 3. Knockli AI answers in 1-2 rings 4. AI determines intent: "Hi, this is entry for Apartment 5. Delivery, guest, or maintenance?" 5. AI applies your rules to decide: unlock, deny, or escalate to you 6. If allowed, Knockli sends DTMF tones to unlock the door 7. AI gives spoken instructions (e.g., "Leave packages at the door") 8. You get notified with full details and one-tap override options 9. Everything is logged for review ## Setup Process Setup requires updating your unit's call box destination number to your Knockli number: - Some buildings: Residents can update via self-service portal - Other buildings: Request management to update the number During onboarding, Knockli helps: - Verify audio quality - Calibrate unlock sequence (which digits, timing) - Test notifications and overrides ================================================================================ FEATURES ================================================================================ ### Core Features 1. **AI Call Answering** - Fast pickup (1-2 rings) - Natural language understanding - Handles noise, silence, prank calls - Supports "repeat instructions" requests 2. **Visitor Screening** - Intent detection: delivery, guest, maintenance, unknown - Optional verification: unit confirmation, name, passphrase - Allowlist for trusted visitors 3. **Rules Engine** - Time windows and quiet hours - Away mode with custom messaging - Security presets (strict, balanced, convenience) - Rate limits and guardrails 4. **Door Unlock** - DTMF generation with configurable digits - Timing controls for different systems - Rate limiting (max unlocks per hour) - Panic mode to disable automations 5. **Notifications & Overrides** - Push notifications with actions - SMS and voice call fallbacks - One-tap: Unlock / Deny / "Call me" - Multi-user: First response wins 6. **Household Support** - Multiple people per unit - Shared rules and activity log - Individual notification preferences 7. **Delivery Instructions** - Spoken drop-off directions - Repeatable on request - Customizable per user 8. **Activity Log** - Every interaction logged - Daily summary digest - Privacy controls for retention ================================================================================ PRICING ================================================================================ ### Residential (B2C) - $19/month per unit - Household included (unlimited members) - All features included - Fair-use policy for call minutes ### Property Management (B2B) - Volume pricing based on unit count - Building-level dashboard - Policy enforcement across properties - Pilot program available ### Offices (B2B) - Custom pricing - Employee routing and verification - Audit logging for compliance - Pilot program available ================================================================================ COMPATIBILITY ================================================================================ Knockli works with any intercom system that: ✓ Dials a standard phone number when a visitor selects a unit ✓ Unlocks via DTMF tones (pressing digits during the call) Compatible manufacturers include: - DoorKing - Linear - Aiphone - Liftmaster - Keri Systems - Mircom - Viking - Many others NOT compatible with: ✗ Video-only intercoms without phone capability ✗ Cellular/app-only systems that don't use phone calls ✗ Systems that unlock via separate hardware trigger ================================================================================ TARGET AUDIENCES ================================================================================ ### Urban Apartment Residents - Receive 3-10+ deliveries per week - Work from home or have irregular schedules - Frustrated by buzzer interruptions - Want convenience without sacrificing security ### Property Managers - Manage buildings with legacy call boxes - Receive complaints about missed deliveries - Want to modernize without CapEx - Need audit trails for compliance ### Office Managers - No full-time reception coverage - Need professional visitor handling - Require entry logging - Want after-hours access management ================================================================================ COMPETITIVE POSITIONING ================================================================================ ### vs. Smart Intercom Hardware (Butterfly MX, Latch, etc.) - Knockli: No hardware purchase, no installation, instant deployment - Smart intercoms: $500-2000+ per unit, installation required, building approval needed ### vs. Virtual Doorman Services (human operators) - Knockli: AI-powered, instant response, lower cost, 24/7 - Human services: Wait times, higher cost, limited hours ### vs. Package Lockers - Knockli: Works with any delivery, handles guests too - Lockers: CapEx required, only for packages, limited capacity ### vs. Smart Locks - Knockli: Works with building call box, no door hardware - Smart locks: Require lock replacement, don't integrate with building entry ================================================================================ SAFETY & SECURITY ================================================================================ Core Principles: 1. Conservative defaults: Uncertain cases escalate to resident 2. Fail closed: If unsure, don't unlock 3. Rate limits: Max unlocks per hour prevents abuse 4. Panic mode: One tap to disable all automations 5. Full audit trail: Every action logged "Delivery" Handling: - "Delivery" is treated as intent, not identity - By default, deliveries still require resident confirmation - Auto-unlock is opt-in, only with guardrails (passphrases, time windows) ================================================================================ TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS ================================================================================ - AI Engine: Real-time voice AI with <500ms response latency - Audio: Handles noise, echo, poor connections - DTMF: Configurable digits (1-4 chars), timing (100-500ms), gaps - Notifications: Push (iOS/Android), SMS, Voice - API: RESTful for integrations - Privacy: Configurable retention, transcripts optional ================================================================================ FAQ ================================================================================ Q: Does Knockli require new hardware? A: No. It works with your existing phone-based buzzer system. Q: How does it unlock the door? A: It sends DTMF tones (like pressing "9") during the call, same as you would. Q: Do I need landlord approval? A: Usually not. You're just changing which phone number your unit buzzes—like call forwarding. Q: Will it let strangers in? A: By default, no. Uncertain cases always escalate to you. Auto-unlock is opt-in with guardrails. Q: What if AI makes a mistake? A: You always have override control. One tap to unlock or deny. Full log to review. Q: How do multiple roommates work? A: Add unlimited household members. Everyone gets notifications; first response wins. ================================================================================ BLOG & CONTENT RESOURCES ================================================================================ Knockli maintains a blog with content for three audience segments: ### Smart Living (Category: residents) Content for apartment dwellers: - Tips on managing deliveries without interruption - Security best practices for apartment living - Smart home technology for renters - Urban living hacks URL: https://knockli.com/blog/category/residents ### Property Insights (Category: property-pros) Content for property managers: - Strategies for modernizing legacy buildings - Resident satisfaction improvement - PropTech adoption guides - Building access security URL: https://knockli.com/blog/category/property-pros ### Workplace Solutions (Category: workplace) Content for office managers: - Virtual reception solutions - Visitor management strategies - After-hours access management - Front desk automation URL: https://knockli.com/blog/category/workplace Blog Index: https://knockli.com/blog ================================================================================ BLOG ARTICLES (55 articles) ================================================================================ ### Property Insights - https://knockli.com/blog/smart-building-access-adoption-ceiling 76% of multifamily properties still rely on traditional keys despite 72% planning upgrades.
