AI isn’t the future of Build To Rent, it’s already here
Forward-thinking build to rent developers like Get Living and JLL are using Lobster, the advanced conversational AI platform from EBI.AI, to eliminate the most stressful or mundane parts of routine property management, but also uncover the simplicity of co-living in the city in the 2020s to make it an exciting, memorable experience for their residents.
Because having AI in your apartments isn’t just a fancy feature, it’s a whole new way of life ― for you and your customers.
You can use Lobster AI to do things like book property viewings, move new residents into an apartment without any help from your agents and, as they settle in and enjoy their new place, instantly answer any questions they have about the building or contract. This frees up your time to deal with the more delicate or urgent elements of your work that need the human touch.
An AI assistant can live anywhere. On your website, your phone line, on smart speakers in your apartments, on mobile, your social media channels, or all of those places. And AI is always there to help your customers, 24/7, through the day or night.
Make your build to rent apartments smarter, more enjoyable and easier to manage
JLL knew that if they used AI to handle just 25% of their routine maintenance calls at one site, they’d no longer have to hire people to manage manual admin processes, and property managers would have more time to work on upgrading and enhancing living experiences. EBI.AI linked up Lobster to JLL’s maintenance calendar and in the first month, JLL more than doubled their goal with 60% of residents using the AI assistant to help fix their maintenance problems, preferring this to picking up the phone or sending an email to the property manager.
At Get Living, they didn’t want anything to hold residents back from feeling settled in a new home, so EBI.AI created Evie, their AI assistant. Evie helps new residents move in and immediately start living life in their new home. From watching a video on their phone that shows them how to turn the heating on, to finding somewhere local for a drink or bite to eat. Evie answers more than 150 questions and every new conversation trains the AI to answer more, so Evie can help with anything Get Living residents ever need to do or want to know.
