How the best property agents use AI
We help property management companies lease faster, retain longer, and cut operating costs by deploying custom AI agents that handle the manual work killing your NOI.

What We Fix
We automate the management lifecycle end to end
We work inside your existing property management software, maintenance tools, and email. No rip-and-replace. No migration. Most proptech promises integration and delivers another dashboard — we close the loop where the work actually happens.
Applications & Screening
The moment an application is submitted, AI runs income, rental history, credit, and employer checks against your published, FHA-aligned criteria, fires FCRA notices automatically, and drafts an E-SIGN-ready lease for your sign-off. Approved to moved-in in days, not weeks.
5–7 days avg. application-to-approval cycle
Leasing Inquiry Response
Agents can answers every website, Zillow, and Apartments.com inquiry in under 60 seconds, 24/7, with availability, pricing, pet policy, and book a tour. Leads don't cool off overnight.
78% of leads are lost to slow first response
Rent Collection & Delinquency
Reminders fire before, on, and after the due date in each resident's consented channel, throttled to TCPA and Reg F limits. Payment plans draft to policy, hardship cases route to a human, and jurisdiction-specific clocks (pay-or-quit, SCRA, late-fee caps) run automatically. Delinquency drops without burning goodwill or FDCPA exposure.
$1,800 avg. loss per eviction filed
Showings & Tour Scheduling
Real-time availability. Prospect picks a slot. Self-guided lockbox codes, confirmations, reminders, and PMS updates — all automatic. Zero phone tag. Zero no-shows unpunished.
8 hrs/wk lost to tour scheduling per property
Maintenance Triage & Dispatch
Resident texts a photo. AI diagnoses severity, attempts a fix via walkthrough, dispatches the right vendor with the right SLA, and keeps the resident updated. Your PMs manage exceptions, not tickets.
34% of tickets resolved before a vendor is called
Renewals & Resident Comms
120 days before lease end, AI assesses retention risk, drafts personalized renewal offers at market rate, and handles resident questions. Your team focuses on the conversations that actually need a human.

Today
Lead comes in at 9:47 PM Friday. Leasing agent responds Monday at 10 AM. Prospect has already toured three other properties and signed a lease.
With Kinematic
AI responds in 45 seconds with unit availability, pricing, and a calendar link. Self-guided tour is booked before Saturday morning — the prospect tours your property first.
Today
Resident reports a leaking faucet via email. PM sees it Tuesday, calls the plumber Wednesday, vendor arrives Friday. Small leak is now a ceiling repair.
With Kinematic
Resident texts a photo. AI diagnoses, walks them through the shutoff valve in real time, dispatches the correct vendor within the hour, and keeps the resident informed until it's fixed.
Today
Lease ends in 30 days. No one ran a retention analysis, offered a renewal, or talked to the resident. They move out. Unit sits vacant 19 days while you scramble to turn it.
With Kinematic
At 120 days out, AI evaluates renewal probability, drafts an offer at market, handles resident questions, and locks in a signed renewal at 90 days — or triggers turn prep early.
Today
Rent is late. Form email goes out day 3. Phone call day 7. Legal notice day 10. Resident ghosts. Eviction costs $1,800 and the unit sits empty for a month.
With Kinematic
AI opens a conversation on day 1, learns the resident forgot, accepts a partial payment, sets up a 2-week payment plan, logs it in your PMS, and flags the case only if it escalates.
These aren't hypotheticals. They're the problems we fix every day.
We integrate with any ATS and business software
From first call to measurable results in weeks, not months
Most proptech rollouts take a full leasing season to show results. Ours start paying for themselves in the first sprint.
