AppFolio, Inc. Launches Innovative AI Capabilities and Affordable Housing Solution to Empower Property Managers, Enhance Resident Experiences
AppFolio, Inc. introduced a host of new capabilities to better serve property management customers and their residents. Innovations include AppFolio Realm, uniting all of AppFolio’s established AI-powered capabilities and a number of transformational new additions in a common suite, and an affordable housing solution enabling property managers to more efficiently manage affordable housing units. AppFolio also announced new additions to its rapidly growing AppFolio Stack™ Marketplace, which allows users to seamlessly integrate specialized point solutions with AppFolio’s centralized property management software platform. AppFolio Realm is how the company is delivering on its product vision to create a world where managing communities feels magical and effortless, helping property managers streamline workflows, unlock insights, and boost productivity. With the launch of AppFolio Realm, AppFolio is adding new AI capabilities powered by large language models (LLMs): Customers can now enable a simple way to automatically generate compelling marketing descriptions for their units and properties with AI, while retaining the ability to review, edit, and customize as needed. AppFolio is piloting a new conversational interface with a select group of trusted users. Customers can ask the software to complete tasks, draft and send communication, and initiate actions or processes on their behalf without having to navigate a traditional graphical interface. AppFolio is in its fifth year of making meaningful, responsible investments in AI through products like Smart Maintenance, and its AI Leasing Assistant, Lisa, along with Bank Feed, Smart Bill Entry, and FolioGuard Smart Ensure. More than 40% of AppFolio’s more than 18,000 customers already utilize AppFolio’s AI tools to augment their workflows and deliver superior resident experiences. AppFolio’s new affordable housing solution is tailored to the unique needs of customers managing affordable housing properties or units within their portfolio. According to an upcoming AppFolio report, operational efficiency is the top challenge for affordable housing property managers. Through AppFolio, customers can efficiently operate affordable housing and market rate units on a single platform, seamlessly manage compliance, streamline processes, and consolidate accounting operations for conventional and affordable housing units. AppFolio’s affordable housing product supports U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Project Based Section 8 rental assistance (PBS8), and Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC). With the addition of 13 new partners so far this year, AppFolio continues to rapidly scale its AppFolio Stack Marketplace. Launched in 2022, the marketplace now features nearly 30 partners to help AppFolio customers navigate the complex proptech landscape, while driving growth and efficiency. The latest additions feature a variety of modern, innovative solutions to streamline everything from marketing to leasing, maintenance, and collections, and include Breezeway, Engrain, Hunter Warfield, Latch, Lula, Mezo, NetVendor, PointCentral, RemoteLock, Rent Dynamics, Respage, Showdigs, and SmartProperty.
