Community managers are the backbone of any residential organization, but their work often feels thankless and overwhelming. You get buried in busywork; Mrs. Smith needs maintenance, Mr. Green and Dr. Jones are having a parking dispute and CCing you on everything, there’s a backlog of financial admin paperwork, you’re trying to find a new vendor for landscaping… and that’s just on your plate for Monday. If that sounds overwhelming, it is; and if it sounds familiar, it doesn’t have to be your reality.
At FRONTSTEPS, we know that community managers face numerous pain points as part of the job, and that’s why we built ALLi. ALLi is the ultimate AI assistant for HOAs, enabling community managers to do their jobs more efficiently and effectively. ALLi isn’t there to be the community manager; it’s simply a powerful tool with a suite of intelligent features that make your job easier. When you opt for ALLi, you’re adopting AI-powered community association management Software that lets you buy back your most valuable resource: time.
Working Smarter, Not Harder, with AI-Powered Community Association Management Software
ALLi sits at the intersection of automation, intelligence, and real-time information. Built directly into the broader FRONTSTEPS ecosystem of Caliber and FRONTSTEPS Manager, this HOA AI assistant understands your workflows and assists across the spectrum of community management tasks, from acting as an AI resident communication tool to serving as a hub for your managed services. But it’s not just a comms tool;
One of the biggest drains on managers’ time is repetitive or manual tasks. Think about how much time you spend every day compiling data for reports, searching across multiple information sources, tracking down answers to routine questions, or simply keeping up with back-office administration. ALLi’s core capabilities are centered on automation and intelligent assistance that take these off your plate. And because ALLi already lives within FRONTSTEPS Manager, it works natively with the tools you already rely on.
AI-Powered Insights That Empower Decision-Making
Instead of spending hours putting together spreadsheets or manually cross-referencing information, you can get the answers you need in seconds. That ability to make informed decisions faster and with more confidence can make an enormous difference in your residents’ lives.
ALLi can help with intelligent search across your data, produce insights on community trends, and streamline operational workflows. With ALLi handling the heavy lifting of routine work, you can spend time on more important priorities that make your community a better place to live. And while every workload is unique, ALLi can typically save a community manager 5 to 12 hours a week. Here’s how:
- Automated Budget Preparation: ALLi gathers historical financial data, up-to-the-minute trends, and all the information about inflation rates to quickly and accurately set up budget analysis jobs. Combined with your insight and community knowledge, you’ll save around 5 hours per week.
- Reporting and Exporting: Creating and formatting ready-to-share summaries or downloadable reports for your board reviews takes hours of painstaking work. Let ALLi set up your documents to save at least 2 hours per week.
- Automated Summaries and Exports: Making charts and CSVs take time away from the tasks that directly support your community members. Instead of compiling them manually, ALLi can create these deliverables on demand, saving you 1 hour per week
- AI Resident Communication Tool: Resident communication can be complex, and it absolutely requires your personal touch. But what if you could focus on language and meaning, not organization and minute details? ALLi takes care of that, effortlessly organizing communication with resident groups or teams to save you 1 hour per week and an untold number of headaches. For example: Need to communicate specific rules across your portfolio of communities? Just ask ALLi to create messaging referencing the rules of each community and you can send out personalized messages in minutes.
- Instant Data Retrieval: There’s a world of data at your fingertips– but accessing information like reports, summaries, violations, and requests takes time. Especially if they go back years or are on multiple systems! But not with ALLi. ALLi saves you about 2 hours per week through the expediency of its searches. Because it’s directly integrated with Caliber, ALLi gets you the information you need immediately.
- One ALLi with Multiple Agents: Within ALLi, specific agents focus on tasks like violations, report visualizations, work orders, and architectural requests. These agents are like a super-efficient filter for your tasks. In order to enhance the quality of the responses and the level of accuracy, FRONTSTEPS developers delegated specific instructions to each agent for every process. That way, instead of pulling all of the data and letting the AI figure it out itself, ALLi can hone in on the information that matters. The benefit of using these agents is they act in a deterministic way, avoiding ambiguity, generic responses, poor quality conversations, and they increase the trustability of the outputs.
- Upload different file types for ALLi to interact with: ALLi is multimodal. This means you can upload videos, PDFs, .mp3 files you want transcribed, and more for ALLi to use. You can even upload scanned documents with poor handwriting and ALLi can convert it to legible text. No matter what kind of information you want ALLi to process, it can handle it!
A Proactive HOA AI Assistant… Without Intrusion
Another one of ALLi’s major strengths is its ability to work proactively. Rather than simply responding after an issue, it can alert you to trends that require attention and facilitate an informed decision-making process based on emerging patterns. It feels streamlined, not invasive, and it supports the combination of human leadership and intelligent assistance that makes today’s best-managed associations stand out.
