Kathy

An AI building manager: rent, utilities, laundry, heating and repairs in one place for every resident. The owner approves anything that costs money.

What it does

Everything a resident needs

Rent, electricity, heating and laundry on one bill, with repairs, notices and the building's rules in the same place.

Connected to the building

Laundry machines, heaters and meters report to Kathy. A free machine, a finished load or a failing heater is known without a phone call.

A manager at any hour

Kathy answers day or night and remembers every unit's history. Anything that costs money waits for the owner.

How a repair is designed to run

The heating stops on a winter night. Whether the resident writes or the heater reports the fault, Kathy sees the repair through until it is closed. The lines stay dashed until the first version is built.

Planned: the design for the first version.

Core responsibilities

  1. Answer every resident

    Kathy answers questions about a bill, a repair, the laundry or the rules at any hour, from the resident's own records.

  2. See every repair through

    Emergencies go to the on-call person at once. Every other job is booked in the resident's chosen slot and followed until it is closed.

  3. One bill for everything

    Rent, electricity, heating and laundry arrive as one bill, line by line. A bill out of line with the unit's history is held for review.

  4. Run the connected building

    Laundry machines, heaters and meters report to Kathy, so a fault becomes a repair before anyone calls.

  5. Fill and renew every lease

    Kathy lists empty units, books viewings and records each move-in and move-out. Renewals are drafted for the owner.

  6. Brief the owner

    Each morning the owner sees what was paid, what is overdue and what waits for approval. A statement follows each month.

Why it is built this way

Three decisions in the design, made before the first line of code.

Apply for a seat

Emergencies skip the queue

Fixed rules recognise a leak, a gas smell, a power cut or no heat in winter. Each goes to the on-call person at once, so an emergency never waits on a model.

The owner approves what costs money

Kathy drafts rent changes, waivers, deposit deductions, legal notices and any spending above your limit, and sends them only after you approve.

Everything runs in your accounts

Resident records, payments and the readings from every connected machine stay in your own cloud and payment account. Every action Kathy takes is logged with its reason.

Bring the workflow that keeps breaking.
