Key Takeaways

• Showdigs' AI Leasing Agent now handles the full lead lifecycle 24/7 — not just tour scheduling. It engages prospects via SMS, answers questions, qualifies leads, and escalates only when needed.
• Redesigned Prospect Profiles consolidate every inquiry, tour, and action into a single screen — no more clicking across tabs to find what you need.
• Early access to the AI Leasing Agent is available now at no cost. Sign in to activate it.
• Together, these updates mean less manual work, fewer dropped leads, and a leasing operation that largely runs itself.

Most property managers we talk to aren't losing leads because their listings are bad. They're losing them because nobody responded fast enough.

A prospect texts at 11 PM asking about pet policies. You're asleep. By morning, they've already toured somewhere else.

That's the real leasing problem — not marketing, not pricing. It's response time. And until recently, the only fix was hiring someone to be on-call, which isn't scalable and definitely isn't cheap.

We've been building toward a different answer: a platform that handles the repetitive, time-sensitive parts of leasing automatically, so you can focus on the decisions that actually need your judgment. The latest round of updates is the clearest version

The AI Leasing Agent Just Got a Lot More Powerful

When we first launched the AI Leasing Agent, it did one thing well: schedule tours. That was genuinely useful. But it left a big gap — everything that happens before a prospect is ready to book a tour.

We've closed that gap. The AI Leasing Agent now handles your leads from first contact to scheduled tour, around the clock.

What changed

Before this update, if a prospect reached out with a question — about the unit, the lease terms, pet policies, parking — that message sat in your inbox until you got to it. The agent only kicked in once someone was ready to schedule.

Now the agent is your first responder. Here's what it actually does:

• Engages prospects via SMS — phone calls to your Showdigs number automatically convert to text, so every inquiry enters a channel the agent can handle
• Answers questions in real conversation — not canned responses, but actual back-and-forth that qualifies the lead and keeps them engaged
• Schedules tours automatically — once a prospect is ready, the booking happens without you touching it
• Escalates intelligently — the agent flags conversations that need your personal attention, and only those

What this means in practice

Put your Showdigs number on Zillow, Apartments.com, and every other listing site you use. Every inquiry gets an immediate response. Every lead stays warm. You stop losing prospects to slow follow-up — because there's no such thing as slow follow-up anymore.

Early access is available now at no cost. Sign in to your Showdigs account to activate it and see the difference in your lead flow before it rolls out broadly.

Redesigned Prospect Profiles: Everything in One Place

Even with a great AI agent handling inbound, you still need to manage your pipeline. And if managing prospects means clicking across three screens to find a tour status, resend an application link, or confirm an attendance — that friction adds up fast.

We redesigned the Prospect Profile to eliminate that friction entirely.

Open any prospect from your leasing kanban board or inbox and you'll now see everything on a single screen:

No hunting. No switching tabs. The information you need to make a decision — or take an action — is right there.

This might sound like a small quality-of-life improvement, but for property managers running 50+ units, these micro-inefficiencies compound into hours of lost time each week. Streamlining the profile means your team moves faster on every prospect

The Bigger Picture: Leasing That Runs Itself

Each of these updates solves a specific problem. But step back and the pattern is clear: every manual touchpoint in your leasing workflow is a candidate for automation.

Leads come in at all hours — the AI agent handles them. Prospect data lives across screens — the redesigned profile consolidates it. Billing requires ongoing attention — ACH auto-funding removes it from your mental load entirely.

This is what a modern leasing operation looks like. Not a PM glued to their phone at 11 PM, not a coordinator manually copying application links, not an accountant reconciling a dozen small charges. A system that handles the routine so your team can focus on what actually requires human judgment.

We're not done building. But if you want to see where things stand today — and get early access to the AI Leasing Agent before it's widely available — now's the time.

Frequently Asked Questions

About the AI Leasing Agent

What exactly does the AI Leasing Agent do now? The AI Leasing Agent now handles the full lead lifecycle — not just tour scheduling. It engages prospects via SMS, answers questions about the property in real conversation, qualifies leads, schedules tours automatically, and escalates to you only when a situation requires your personal attention. It operates 24/7, including nights and weekends.

How does the agent handle phone calls? Phone calls to your Showdigs number are automatically converted to SMS. This means every inbound inquiry — regardless of how a prospect reaches out — enters a text-based channel that the AI agent can engage with in real time.

Does the AI agent give scripted responses, or does it actually converse? It actually converses. The agent is designed to handle back-and-forth exchanges, answer follow-up questions, and move a prospect naturally toward scheduling a tour. It's not a simple chatbot with preset menus — it's a conversational agent built specifically for leasing.

What happens when a conversation is too complex for the agent? The agent escalates intelligently. When it encounters a situation that falls outside its scope — a sensitive complaint, an unusual lease request, anything that genuinely requires human judgment — it flags the conversation and brings you in. You're not out of the loop; you're just not the first responder anymore.

Is the AI Leasing Agent available on all Showdigs plans? Early access is currently available at no additional cost. Sign in to your Showdigs account to activate it. Broader availability and plan-level details will be communicated as the feature rolls out.

How do I activate early access? Sign in to your Showdigs account and follow the prompts to enable the AI Leasing Agent. There's no additional setup required beyond connecting your Showdigs number to your listing sites (Zillow, Apartments.com, etc.).

Will the AI agent work with my existing listing sites? Yes. Place your Showdigs phone number on any listing site — Zillow, Apartments.com, or any other platform you use. Every inquiry that comes in through that number will be handled by the agent automatically.

Can I see transcripts of conversations the agent has with prospects? Yes. All conversations are logged and accessible in your Messages inbox. You can review what the agent said, how the prospect responded, and where the lead stands in your pipeline at any time.

About Prospect Profiles

What changed in the Prospect Profile redesign? The redesigned profile consolidates everything into a single screen: complete inquiry and tour history with exact timestamps, one-click copy buttons for inquiry and application links, and the ability to confirm tour attendance directly from the profile. The goal was to eliminate the need to navigate across multiple screens to take common actions.

Where do I access the new Prospect Profile? You can open any prospect directly from your leasing kanban board or your inbox. The redesigned layout loads automatically — there's no toggle or setting to enable.

Does the redesign change how the kanban board works? No. The kanban board itself is unchanged. The redesign is specific to the individual prospect profile view you see when you open a lead.
