🚀 Enables tenants & landlords to communicate seamlessly: This is MieterBot AI as a smart communication interface between tenants and housing companies - this is the vision our Sommer Batch 24 Ideation Team MieterBot is working on. Artur Piet, Iustina Augustinov and David Piet are automating communication processes and saving everyone involved time, money and stress. “Our goal: to reduce the phone time of housing companies by 70%.” - MieterBot 😱 As the number of tenant inquiries increases, housing companies are faced with the challenge of communicating efficiently and with minimum use of resources. The current processes are time-consuming and staff-intensive. 💡 With the help of AI and the introduction of a dedicated apartment ID for efficient data management, these hurdles can be overcome and communication processes simplified! 💪 For example, tenants can use MieterBot to report a broken heating system by telephone. Using the apartment ID, the system recognizes the affected apartment, accesses the information on the heating appliance used and identifies a suitable repair company in the area. The tradesman is commissioned fully automatically, without any intervention by the housing company's employees. 🫶 We are happy to have you on board, MieterBot!
