From Your Documents to a Live AI Assistant in Days

We take your community's governing documents, train a custom AI chatbot, and give your residents instant access to accurate, cited answers — no technical expertise required on your end.

The Setup Process

1

You Send Us Your Governing Documents

Gather your community's key documents and send them our way. We accept PDF, Word, scanned images, and plain text files.

Documents we train on:

CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions) · Bylaws · Architectural Review Guidelines · Rules & Regulations · Board Meeting Minutes · Policy Resolutions · Community Handbooks · Fee Schedules · Violation Procedures · Landscaping Standards · Parking Policies · Pet Policies · Pool & Amenity Rules

2

We Build Your Custom Knowledge Base

Our team processes every document — extracting text, indexing sections, and building a structured knowledge base that maps your community's specific rules, procedures, and policies.

Behind the scenes:

Each document is broken into semantically meaningful chunks, embedded into a vector database, and tagged with metadata (document name, section number, date). When a resident asks a question, the AI searches this database to find the most relevant passages and composes an answer based exclusively on your approved content.

3

Quality Review & Testing

Before your bot goes live, we test common resident questions, verify citations, and ensure the bot handles edge cases gracefully. You get a preview link to test it yourself.

What we test for:

Accuracy of cited sections · Handling of ambiguous questions · Correct escalation of unanswerable queries · Tone and professionalism · Multi-topic conversations · Edge cases specific to your community

4

Deploy & Go Live

Your chatbot is deployed and ready for residents. We provide an embeddable widget for your existing site, a standalone chatbot link, or a full community website with the bot built in.

Deployment options:

Embed Widget: A code snippet you paste into your existing site. The bot appears as a chat bubble in the corner.

Standalone Link: A dedicated URL you share via email, newsletters, or QR codes in common areas.

Full Website: A custom community website with the chatbot fully integrated.

5

Ongoing Updates & Maintenance

Your community evolves, and your bot keeps pace. After every board meeting, rule change, or policy update, submit the new material and we refresh the bot's knowledge base.

How You Submit Updates & New Documents

We've designed the update process to be as simple as sending an email — because that's literally one of the options.

📧

Email Submission

After each board meeting, email your new meeting minutes or amended documents to your dedicated submission address. Attach PDF, Word, or text files with a brief note about what changed. We process updates within 48 hours.

Common Update Scenarios

Here's how the bot stays current with your community's evolving rules and decisions.

📝 New Meeting Minutes

After each board meeting, submit the approved minutes. The bot learns about new motions passed, policy discussions, upcoming projects, and assessment changes. Homeowners can then ask "What was decided at the last board meeting?" and get an accurate summary.

📜 Amended Bylaws or CC&Rs

When your community votes to amend governing documents, send us the updated version. We replace outdated sections so residents always get current information — not answers based on old rules.

🏗️ New Architectural Standards

Changed fence height limits? Updated approved paint colors? Added solar panel guidelines? Submit the revised standards and the bot immediately reflects the new requirements.

💰 Fee & Assessment Changes

Updated monthly dues, special assessments, late fee schedules, or payment procedures are critical for residents. Submit the new fee schedule and the bot delivers accurate financial information on demand.

📢 Policy Memos & Resolutions

Board resolutions, enforcement notices, or seasonal rule changes (e.g., holiday decoration guidelines) can all be added so residents have one place to find everything.

📅 Community Event Information

Annual meetings, social events, maintenance schedules, or amenity closures — add this info and the bot becomes a one-stop resource for everything happening in your community.
