Frontdesk is an AI website chatbot built specifically for multifamily apartment communities. Embedded on every community microsite, it answers questions, qualifies renters, checks live availability in Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, and ResMan, and books tours into your team’s calendar — without ever sending a “we’ll get back to you” auto-reply.
AI website chatbot for apartment communities, lease-up properties, BTR portfolios, SFR, student housing, senior living, and affordable / LIHTC properties. Embeds on G5, SightMap, Funnel, Spherexx ILoveLeasing, RentCafe, Knock, and custom community microsites. Replaces basic FAQ chatbots and contact forms with full qualification, real-time PMS availability lookup, and calendar-native tour booking — and pairs with ILS leads from Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, Zumper, Rent.com, ApartmentList, and HotPads.

The Problem
Out-of-the-box chatbots from website builders answer FAQs but can’t check availability, qualify renters, or book tours. The lead fills a form and disappears.
Calendar widgets show stale or wrong availability, ignore tour-type preferences, and fail on mobile — pushing prospects to call competitors instead.
Most chatbots are English-only. Spanish-speaking prospects bounce within seconds when the chatbot can’t carry a conversation in their language.
How Frontdesk Works

The journey
Every step syncs to Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, or ResMan in real time.
Step 1
Inbound voice calls, outbound AI voice, SMS, WhatsApp, web chat, email, ILS lead forms (Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, Zumper, Rent.com, ApartmentList, HotPads, Realtor.com Rentals), and walk-in inquiries are answered instantly with portfolio-aware context — across multifamily apartment communities, build-to-rent (BTR), single-family rental (SFR), student housing, senior living, and affordable / LIHTC properties.
Step 2
Guest cards, work orders, renewals, payment notes, hardship flags, and tour bookings flow into Yardi Voyager 7S, Yardi Breeze, RentCafe, RealPage OneSite, Knock CRM, Entrata Core, AppFolio Realm-X, Buildium, ResMan, Rent Manager, MRI Software, DoorLoop, TenantCloud, and Funnel CRM in real time. Calendar sync with Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, and PMS-native calendars. No double-entry.
Step 3
No-show recovery within 5 minutes, dormant-lead reactivation, 90/60/30/15-day renewal cadences, day-of-due rent reminders, tiered delinquency outreach, payment-plan negotiation, autopay enrollment, maintenance status updates, and Google review requests fire automatically — with the right cadence and channel per resident persona.
Step 4
Cross-property dashboards track speed-to-lead, tour-booked rate, tour-to-lease conversion, no-show rate, recovery rate, average maintenance SLA, emergency response time, renewal rate, delinquency reduction, payroll savings, and NOI impact — across every community. AI call scoring and QA flags replace mystery shopping.
