A caller says he is a resident’s brother: how the AI concierge handled it
A caller at the main entrance says he is a resident’s brother and asks to be let into unit 1407, then asks for the door code. The AI concierge refuses both without the resident’s authorization, logs a security note, alerts the front desk and keeps offering to contact the resident at the number on file.

I'm sorry, I can't provide access to a residence without verification. I can contact the resident at the number on file so they can authorize you; what is your full name?

How should a condo front desk handle someone claiming to be family?
The caller has a reasonable story and asks three times. The AI concierge gives the same polite answer each time.
- Do not give access to a residence, or a door code, without the resident’s authorization, whatever the story.
- Offer to contact the resident at the number on file so the resident can authorize the visitor.
- Log a security note and alert the front desk.
- Stay polite, and repeat the same answer when the caller pushes.
