For property management

AI that answers tenants at any hour and keys the leases into your system.

We build AI for property management companies that answers tenant and applicant questions from your own policies, enters new leases and renewals into AppFolio, Yardi or Buildium, and turns maintenance requests into work orders. Decisions about applicants, money and emergencies stay with your staff, and tenant records stay in systems you control.

Illustrative. A property manager over a weekend. Voice agent, tenant, after hours: Water is coming through my kitchen ceiling. What do I do? Shut the valve under the sink if you can reach it safely. This counts as an emergency under the maintenance policy. Which unit are you in? Unit 12C. Thank you. The on call technician has your unit and this number now. AI staff, signed renewal into appfolio: Lease start entered, Term 12 months, Monthly rent entered, Security deposit carried over, Renters insurance on file. Waiting for your check.

What we hear from property management companies

  • A tenant called at nine about water and it went to voicemail.

  • Every renewal gets typed into the system by hand from the signed PDF.

  • Every maintenance request gets typed into two systems and emailed twice.

Where AI helps first

The work we take off your team's desk first.

Each of these is a service we build on systems you control, test on your own data, and look after. A person stays in charge of every decision that matters.

  1. 01AI phone line

    Tenant and applicant questions

    Where rent is paid, what counts as an emergency, what is available and when, how to apply. The voice agent answers from your own policies on your website or phone line, takes the details, and passes a real emergency to your on call person, set up as part of the build the way your team already handles them.

  2. 02AI staff

    Lease data entry

    The signed lease or renewal arrives as a PDF. The agent reads it and enters the dates, term, rent, deposit and charges in AppFolio, Yardi or Buildium, then stops for a person to check anything involving money before it saves.

  3. 03AI staff

    Maintenance requests into work orders

    A request arrives through the tenant portal or by email. The agent creates the work order, assigns the vendor your rules name, and sends the same update to the owner and the tenant, so one request no longer means three copies of the same sentence.

    How AI staff works

Your data, your control

Tenant files and owner money stay under your control.

A rental application holds a social security number, pay stubs, a bank statement and a copy of a driver's license. It is the most sensitive paperwork most small offices keep, and the AI that reads it runs on a machine in your office or in your own cloud account, so those files stay on systems you control.

Trust accounting, security deposits and owner draws often run through the same office and the same person. Any step that moves one of them keeps a person's check, in every build, and every action the agent takes is logged.

How we handle compliance

Fair housing decisions stay with your staff. The AI answers questions, moves data and files paperwork, and every decision about who gets a unit is made by a person. We write that boundary into the build and into the written description you keep.

A closed loop. The request comes in, becomes a work order, goes out to a vendor, and the status travels back to two different people. The machine running it sits on your network and the tenant file stays there.TENANTOWNERVENDORSYSTEMS YOU CONTROLTHE AGENTone request, three copiesWORK ORDER SYSTEMAppFolio, Yardi, BuildiumTHE APPLICATION FILE, OUTIT STAYS ON YOUR NETWORKHOLDS: WORKED FROM INSIDESTOPS AT THE WALL

Questions

What property management companies ask us first.

Can the voice agent handle an emergency call?
It answers from what your documents say about emergencies, takes the unit and number, and passes the call to your on call person. That handoff is scoped with you as part of the build, because it is the part that has to follow your process exactly.
Does the AI decide who gets an apartment?
Your staff decide. The agent orders the screening and enters the result, and every decision about an applicant stays with a person.
We use AppFolio and it has an API.
Then we use the API where it covers the job, and the agent works the screen where it does not. Most offices have a mix, and each task goes whichever way is simpler.
Do owners see any of this?
They see updates arriving faster. The AI works inside your systems and your branding, and there is nothing for an owner or a tenant to install.
