# The nine o’clock enquiry is a guest card by the morning.

You add AI to a property management company by putting a conversational agent in front of the rental enquiry. It asks what your guest card asks, one question at a time, types the answers into a structured record, and posts that record to your property management system the moment it is complete.

## The process this page is about

Not "AI for property management". One process, the one that decides how long a home sits empty: getting a stranger from a listing at 9pm to a qualified guest card your coordinator can act on at 9am.

- **Who starts it**: A stranger, on a phone, from a listing site, almost always outside office hours.
- **What it costs today**: A voicemail nobody returns until morning, an ILS form with three fields, or an answering service that cannot answer a single question about the home.
- **What it has to produce**: A complete guest card: which home, when they need it, how many people, pets, how the rent is covered, and a number that will be answered.
- **of one operator’s 839 rental enquiries arrived outside regular business hours**: 73% (source: Respage)

## What it asks, and what it never asks

You name the fields your guest card already has. It does the asking, in whatever order the conversation goes, and it keeps asking until the required ones are filled.

| Field | Type | Required | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| full_name | text | yes | Identity on the guest card |
| phone | phone | yes | How the coordinator calls back |
| email | email | no | Listing details and confirmations |
| home_of_interest | text | yes | Which listing, in their words |
| desired_move_in | text | yes | Matches them to what is actually turning |
| household_size | number | yes | Occupancy, asked as a total and never as a family question |
| pets | text | no | Pet policy, with assistance animals recorded as not pets |
| income_source | text | no | How rent is covered, recorded and never assessed |
| wants_tour | boolean | no | Routes straight to the viewing queue |

### And what it will not do

- It never asks a protected-class question. Not race, religion, national origin, disability, age, or whether there are children in the household. Occupancy is asked once, as a total number of people.
- It never treats an assistance animal as a pet, and never asks what the disability is.
- It never quotes a rent, a deposit or a fee, and never approves, denies or pre-qualifies anyone. It records the answer and the team decides.
- It never says a home is definitely available, and never holds one.
- It never invents a field. If they did not say it, the record says "Not captured" instead of a guess.

## Try the run yourself

Six situations a property office actually handles, each running its own agent with its own fields. Pick one and answer it the way a real person would, vaguely and out of order, and watch it ask the follow up instead of accepting the blank.

- [The 9pm enquiry](https://joina.chat/l/cedarline-rental): Conversation page. Guest card: which home, when, how many, pets.
- [Something is leaking](https://joina.chat/l/cedarline-repairs): Chat widget. Say the ceiling is dripping and watch it escalate instead of continuing.
- [Would I even qualify](https://joina.chat/l/cedarline-apply): Conversation page. Pre-application. Ask it to approve you and see what it says.
- [Can I see it Saturday](https://joina.chat/l/cedarline-viewing): Conversation page. Viewing request: a day range, never a slot it cannot promise.
- [Lease is up in 90 days](https://joina.chat/l/cedarline-staying): Conversation page. Renewal intent, and what would change it.
- [Giving notice](https://joina.chat/l/cedarline-leaving): Conversation page. Tell it we were the reason and watch it write that down.

## Frequently asked questions

**What does Gnosari do for a property management company?**

Gnosari runs the guest card a leasing office would otherwise fill in by phone during office hours: move-in date, budget range, bedrooms, pets, occupants as a total number, and how to reach the prospect. It asks one question at a time on your listings or through a link, then posts a typed guest card to your property management system. Your leasing agent opens a complete card the next morning.

**How do I answer rental enquiries that arrive at nine at night without a call centre?**

Create a free Gnosari account and tell it which fields your guest card already has: desired move-in date, budget range, bedrooms, pets, total occupants, contact. Put the link on your listings and your policies page. Gnosari runs the conversation at any hour, follows up when a date or budget is vague, and posts the guest card to AppFolio, Buildium or Yardi through a webhook, Zapier or Make. Leasing replies in the morning with the card already in the system.

**Is Gnosari safe under fair housing rules?**

Gnosari asks every person the same questions in the same order and is instructed never to ask about or record race, religion, national origin, disability, age or whether there are children in the household. Occupancy is asked once, as a total number of people. Assistance animals are never treated as pets. Because every conversation is stored with the verbatim sentence each value came from, you can show exactly what was asked and answered.

**Will Gnosari tell a prospect they are approved, or quote a rent?**

No. Gnosari never quotes a rent, a deposit or a fee, never says a home is definitely available, and never approves, denies or pre-qualifies anyone. It collects what your application asks and says plainly that a person on your team makes the decision. Maintenance runs as a separate agent: it checks a report against a danger list first, and gas, fire, flooding, no heat below freezing or a door that will not lock sends the resident straight to your emergency line.

**Does Gnosari work with AppFolio, Buildium or Yardi?**

Yes, through a webhook. The moment a guest card is complete, Gnosari posts a signed JSON payload to the address you give it, and Zapier or Make routes it into AppFolio, Buildium, Yardi or the property management system you already run. There is no Gnosari app to install on either side and nothing to configure inside your PMS, and the card is already in your Gnosari inbox before delivery starts.
