What Carly can do with Buildium

Open work orders from a maintenance call

A tenant reports a problem and you text Carly the unit and the issue. She creates the work order in Buildium with the details, so the request is logged before you've hung up the phone.

Check rent status before collection calls

Ask Carly who's behind on rent this month and she pulls outstanding balances from Buildium — so you walk into collection calls knowing exactly who owes what.

Look up leases and tenants on demand

Need the lease end date, rent amount, or contact info for a unit? Text Carly and she pulls the tenant and lease details from Buildium without you opening the portal.

Update property and unit records in the field

Note a unit turned, a rent change, or new tenant contact details and Carly updates the record in Buildium — no waiting until you're back at a computer to enter it.

Why property managers are using AI to run Buildium

Buildium keeps residential landlords and third-party managers organized — properties, units, tenants, leases, work orders, and financials all live in one system. The problem is where property management actually happens: on the phone with a tenant reporting a leak, walking a unit between showings, or fielding a maintenance call at 7pm. Every one of those moments generates something that belongs in Buildium, and every one of them is a bad time to sit down and click through the portal.

An AI tool for Buildium should let you capture the work order, check whether rent came in, or pull up a lease the second it comes up — from your phone, in the words you'd use anyway. When logging a maintenance request takes as long as sending a text, nothing falls through. When it means opening the app, finding the unit, and filling out a form, half of it never gets entered.

How Carly works as your AI Buildium assistant

In your Carly dashboard at carlyassistant.com/integrations, connect Buildium with your API key. Once connected, you run your properties, tenants, and work orders over email or text — like having a leasing coordinator who keeps Buildium current while you're out in the field.

A tenant just called about a broken water heater? Text Carly the unit and the issue and she opens a work order in Buildium. Want to know who's late on rent before you start collection calls? Ask Carly and she pulls the outstanding balances. Screening a new applicant and need the current lease terms on a comparable unit? Email Carly and she looks it up.

Because Carly works from outside Buildium, she can line your property data up against your calendar and inbox — checking whether a tenant already has a showing booked, or pulling their last few emails alongside their Buildium ledger before you call them back.

Who uses Carly with Buildium

Property managers and leasing agents who spend their days between units, not at a desk. Small residential landlords self-managing a handful of doors who don't want to open a full portal for every rent check. Third-party management companies whose staff are constantly fielding maintenance calls and tenant questions on the move. If your team runs on Buildium but the data entry keeps piling up until the end of the day, Carly logs the work orders, checks the rent, and pulls the leases in the moment — so the system stays accurate without anyone chained to a screen.

See what people say

"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.

Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.

On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
