Generic AI receptionists do not know multifamily
Horizontal AI receptionists (Smith.ai, Goodcall, Ruby) are built for service businesses — not apartments. They cannot qualify against floor plans, pricing tiers, pet policy, or income criteria.
Apartment AI receptionist that picks up every prospect and resident call in under a second, qualifies leads, books tours into Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, and ResMan, and triages emergency maintenance — 24/7 in 30+ languages.

The Problem
Horizontal AI receptionists (Smith.ai, Goodcall, Ruby) are built for service businesses — not apartments. They cannot qualify against floor plans, pricing tiers, pet policy, or income criteria.
Generic AI receptionists email message slips. They do not write guest cards into Yardi RentCafe, RealPage OneSite, or Entrata — breaking ILS attribution and reporting.
Generic receptionists handle prospect calls but not resident maintenance triage, emergency dispatch, or rent payment guidance.
AI receptionists answer inbound calls. They do not run outbound voice campaigns for tour confirmations, no-show recovery, renewals, or delinquency outreach.

AI Transcript
“Hi! I’d love to tour the 2-bedroom at Maple Heights. Any availability this Saturday?”
Frontdesk AI
“Yes! The 2BR at Maple Heights is $2,450/mo with a Feb 1 move-in. Saturday 11am or 2pm works for tours. Shall I book one?”
Frontdesk is built specifically for apartments — with deep knowledge of floor plans, pricing, specials, pet policy, parking, and community amenities.
Looking for a 2BR around $2,400, move-in mid-February. Do you allow pets?
We have a 2BR at $2,450/mo available Feb 15. Cats and dogs under 50 lbs welcome. What’s your move-in date?
Captured
Every qualified prospect ends with a confirmed tour booked in your PMS — not a message slip.
