What is Agent Spota?

Agent Spota is the automated WhatsApp assistant built by LodgeSpot, the student accommodation platform for the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) and the University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus (UNEC). Instead of scrolling through crowded group chats or chasing a dozen agents, you message Agent Spota and describe what you need, for example “self con at hilltop under 400k”.

It searches LodgeSpot’s live listings of lodges, shared rooms, sublets, roommate profiles, marketplace items and stores, shows you matches with prices and links, and can check availability, take you through booking and payment, and hand you to the LodgeSpot team whenever you want a human.

Agent Spota is a chatbot, not a person, and it only knows what is listed on LodgeSpot. That keeps its answers honest: every result links back to a real listing you can open and verify.

Does Agent Spota understand Nigerian Pidgin and typos?

How do I book and pay for a lodge through Agent Spota?

Open the listing and tap “Book / Pay”. Agent Spota shows the amount and LodgeSpot’s official bank account details inside the chat.

An inspection tour is an optional ₦3,000. Lodges marked “agent’s price” show the agent’s own amount, with no LodgeSpot booking fee or commission added.

Is it safe to pay through LodgeSpot, and how do I avoid lodge scams?

LodgeSpot payments are Escrow-protected: your money is only released once your booking is confirmed. Agent Spota never asks for your card PIN, OTP or passwords.

What happens if Agent Spota cannot find a match?

Can I list a lodge or sell something through Agent Spota?

Agent Spota points you to the LodgeSpot Android app, where you can share a lodge or item post straight from WhatsApp into the app with little or no typing.
