AI-powered first line of support

Help me Fix begins by providing tenants with an AI-powered support system. This intelligent assistant serves as the first point of contact, engaging tenants in a conversation to troubleshoot issues. The AI can analyse pictures, give step-by-step advice, and even provide helpful online videos to guide tenants through potential DIY solutions.

This initial AI interaction is crucial in empowering tenants to resolve minor issues independently, reducing the need for unnecessary call-outs and saving time for all parties involved. By offering immediate, intelligent support, Help me Fix ensures that many problems can be addressed promptly, enhancing tenant satisfaction and minimising property downtime.

 

Video platform for enhanced property manager oversight

When issues can't be resolved through AI assistance alone, Help me Fix's video platform comes into play. This innovative tool allows property managers to gain direct visual oversight of the problem, bridging the gap between tenants and property managers that can exist in the traditional repair process.

Through the video platform, property managers can:

  1. Assess the severity and urgency of the issue firsthand
  2. Provide real-time advice to tenants based on what they see
  3. Make more informed decisions about necessary next steps

This visual context is invaluable, enabling property managers to prioritise repairs effectively, allocate resources efficiently, and in many cases, guide tenants to resolution without the need for an in-person visit or before an issue worsens to the extent of needing to involve insurers.


Augmented intelligence and expert support

Help me Fix takes support a step further by offering in-call augmented intelligence for property managers. This feature provides additional insights and suggestions during video calls, expanding the property manager's knowledge base and problem-solving capabilities in real-time.

For issues that extend beyond the property manager's expertise, Help me Fix offers seamless connection to qualified engineers. The video call can be diverted to a specific trade category to provide specialised knowledge to diagnose complex problems accurately and recommend appropriate solutions.

 

Transforming the repair process

By integrating AI assistance, video technology, and access to expert knowledge, Help me Fix is transforming the traditional repair process. This comprehensive approach:

  1. Empowers tenants to solve minor issues independently
  2. Provides property managers with unprecedented oversight and support
  3. Reduces unnecessary call-outs and associated costs
  4. Speeds up problem resolution and minimises property downtime
  5. Improves communication and satisfaction for all parties involved

 

The future of property maintenance

As the property management industry continues to evolve, solutions like Help me Fix are setting new standards for efficiency and effectiveness. By leveraging AI and video technology, this platform is not just supplementing in-hours repairs – it's redefining the entire maintenance process.

The ability to triage issues quickly, provide immediate support, and escalate problems seamlessly when necessary makes video maintenance an indispensable tool for modern property management. As this technology continues to advance, we can expect even greater innovations, leading to smarter, faster, and more cost-effective property maintenance solutions.

Help me Fix is at the vanguard of this transformation, offering a glimpse into a future where property maintenance is more responsive, efficient, and tenant-friendly than ever before.
