The big AI companies spent last week launching AI "coworkers". Agents that sit in Slack and Teams, manage projects and update documents for you.
Meanwhile, most of the property managers I speak to are still copying and pasting between three systems.
Same tenant. Same address. Typed out three times.
I'm not saying that to be smug. The technology has never been the problem.
The problem is that nobody knows which job to hand over first.
So they don't hand over anything. They read the headlines, decide AI is for big companies with big budgets, and carry on retyping.
Here's what I'd start with in a lettings office:
🔁 The job you do the same way every time. A new tenancy means the same details go into the CRM, the deposit scheme and the referencing portal. That's one form filled in once, with the rest done automatically.
📥 The job that arrives at the worst moment. Maintenance emails at 9pm. Logged, sorted by urgency and with the contractor before morning.
🙄 The job everyone quietly hates. Chasing documents. Nobody went into property management to send their fourth reminder about a reference.
You don't need an AI coworker. You need one boring job to stop landing on your desk.
Start there. The rest follows.
