It branches. Exactly one path is taken.

The problem it solves

Tenant complaints come in through email and forms, and someone has to read each one, figure out how urgent it is, and get it to the right person. Without a system watching the clock, urgent repairs slip past their deadline and tenants are left waiting.

Who it fits

Property managers and facilities teams handling maintenance requests.

How it works

  1. A complaint arrives by email or through a web form
  2. AI classifies the fault type, sets a priority level, and drafts an acknowledgement
  3. The right technician is looked up based on the fault category
  4. A work order is created and the tenant gets an acknowledgement email with a ticket number
  5. The facilities team is notified in Slack, and overdue tickets trigger an urgent escalation
What you get

Complaints that reach the right technician immediately

Every tenant complaint you receive gets read, routed to the right technician, and flagged automatically if it's running late.

What you get

A logged work order, a tenant acknowledgement email, and a Slack alert for the facilities team, with automatic escalation on anything overdue.

What you need

A Gmail account, an Airtable base, a Slack workspace, and an Anthropic Claude API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
