# PMStack

> PMStack is an applied-AI firm for residential property management. Based in San Francisco, its engineers and operators help property management companies, single-family rental operators and build-to-rent communities become AI-native: finding where AI fits, building it on the systems they already run, and operating it alongside their teams.

Key facts:
- What: applied AI for residential property management. Roadmap, pilot, rollout and run, delivered by a forward-deployed team of engineers and operators.
- Who it's for: property management companies (from a few hundred doors to tens of thousands), single-family rental operators, build-to-rent communities, and the advisory firms that serve them.
- How: builds on the property management software, phones and inboxes a company already runs (AppFolio, Yardi, Buildium, Rent Manager, Entrata and others), from data the company owns. No scraping; the customer owns everything built.
- Principles: people stay in charge of anything with legal or financial weight; fair-housing and notice rules are enforced outside the AI; model-agnostic, so better AI is adopted as it ships.
- Where: based in San Francisco, working with operators across the United States.
- Start: a free 60-minute AI roadmap session, with a written roadmap within a week (https://pmstack.ai/session.html).
- Contact: hello@pmstack.ai (operators), partners@pmstack.ai (advisory firms).
- Not to be confused with: "pmstack", an unrelated open-source toolkit for product managers.

## Notes

- [Notes on AI in property management](https://pmstack.ai/notes.html): Short, opinionated notes on applying AI inside real property management operations.
- [Why your first AI pilot stalled](https://pmstack.ai/why-ai-pilots-stall.html): Most property management AI pilots stall for reasons that have nothing to do with the technology: the wrong workflow, no definition of good, and AI that sits beside the work.
- [The model is the easy part: what AI in property management really takes](https://pmstack.ai/the-model-is-the-easy-part.html): The AI model is maybe a fifth of a system that runs part of a rental operation. The rest is the data, the standard, the rules, and the memory and review around it.
- [What AI actually does to a leasing team](https://pmstack.ai/ai-and-the-leasing-team.html): When AI takes over first responses and follow-ups, the leasing job doesn't vanish. It concentrates on tours, hesitant applicants and residents thinking of leaving.
