# AI for property managers

Ship AI Studio builds AI workflows for property management companies with 10 to 500 people. It sorts maintenance requests, drafts replies to leasing questions from approved listing facts, and prepares owner reports for your staff to approve. Start with a $1,500, one-week AI Assessment that ends with a fixed build scope or a clear no.

## Workflows we look at first

### Maintenance requests

- Today: Requests arrive by text, email, phone, and portal. Staff sort them by hand and call vendors one at a time.
- With the system: Each request is sorted by urgency and property, a work order is drafted, and the right vendor is proposed.
- Your part: Staff approve each dispatch. Emergencies go straight to a person.

### Leasing inquiries

- Today: Prospects ask the same questions about price, pets, and dates, and slow replies lose the showing.
- With the system: Replies are drafted only from the listing facts you approve, with open showing times from the calendar.
- Your part: Staff approve every reply. Questions about assistance animals, disability, or family status always go to a person.

### Owner reports and rent follow-up

- Today: Managers write owner updates by hand each month and send late-rent reminders when they remember.
- With the system: Owner updates are drafted from the property records, and reminders follow your written policy.
- Your part: The manager approves each update and reminder before it goes out.

Screening and leasing decisions: Your staff decide every application, lease, and notice. The system prepares the record.

## The AI Assessment

One week on one workflow. For a property manager, the week usually starts with maintenance or leasing. We sit with a property manager and the front desk, look at the property management system and the inbox, and count the hours.

- A map of where leads, hours, and paperwork get stuck today

- What it is worth, in dollars

- Workflow or agent: which one fits, and what it needs access to

- A ranked plan with the tools, checks, and approval points

- A fixed Build Sprint scope, or a clear reason not to build

## Controls

- **A person approves.** Anything that goes out in your name, changes a record, or moves money waits for your yes.

- **Every action on record.** Each step is logged with its inputs, its source, and who approved it.

- **Approved facts only.** Leasing drafts use only the listing facts and policies you approve. Questions outside them, and any question about a protected trait, go to a person.

We build on the tools you already use: property management systems such as AppFolio, Buildium, Yardi, or Rent Manager, the phone and text line, vendor lists, and email. The Assessment confirms which ones we can reach and how.

## Questions and answers

### How much does AI cost for a property management company?

With Ship AI Studio, the first step is the AI Assessment: $1,500 for one week. A Build Sprint is $5,000 flat for one workflow or agent, live in two weeks. AI Operations is $999 a month to keep it running. The Assessment fee is credited in full toward a Build Sprint that starts within 30 days.

### What do we get from the $1,500 AI Assessment?

In one week we review one workflow with your team. You get a map of where the hours go, what the fix is worth in dollars, whether a workflow or an agent fits, a ranked plan with the approval points, and a fixed Build Sprint scope or a clear reason not to build.

### Will AI decide who gets a lease?

No. The system drafts replies from facts you approve and prepares records. Your staff approve every reply and make every screening, leasing, and notice decision.

### Which tools do you work with?

We build on the tools you already use: property management systems such as AppFolio, Buildium, Yardi, or Rent Manager, the phone and text line, vendor lists, and email. The Assessment confirms which ones we can reach and how.

### We manage a few hundred units. Is that enough?

It depends on the volume of repeat work, not the unit count. The Assessment measures the hours first. If a build does not pay for itself, the readout says so.

### Do you guarantee results?

No. The Assessment puts a dollar number on the workflow before you spend more. If the number is too small to pay for a build, the readout says so and you stop there.
