Built a text-based AI property manager for small landlords
Hi everyone!
I'm building Porter (https://getporter.vercel.app/), a text-based AI property manager for small, self-managing landlords. This is for people who aren't interesting in signing up for yet another platform but have enough units that the admin starts becoming annoying.
Porter handles the operational back-and-forth:
- answers repetitive property enquiries pre-tenancy
- coordinates and packs viewing slots based on your existing calendar
- chases outstanding paperwork
- keeps track of what’s still unresolved
- coordinates maintenance and contractors
- remembers property-specific context
- only comes back to you when an actual decision is needed
No tenant portal. No new app. Ideally the landlord shouldn’t have to “operate software” at all.
I’ve built the landing page and trying to figure out whether this is genuinely useful. Been talking to some landlords who really like this as they currently only manage their properties through WhatsApp and don't want to learn how to set up yet another tool.
Would love feedback from people who use property management software and would love to get some free pilot customers on board to test it out.
I’m especially interested in where you think the model breaks: trust, integrations, edge cases, communication, compliance, or simply not enough pain to justify paying for it.
