Yardi Virtuoso

Virtuoso is Yardi’s enterprise AI platform that enables organizations to deploy AI agents, automate workflows and leverage Yardi data through natural language interaction. It supports portfolio-wide queries and reporting, in addition to using trusted Yardi data to avoid AI hallucinations that can happen with more generic AI tools. 

Some examples of what a Virtuoso agent can do include:

  • Identifying exceptions in financial or operational data.
  • Monitoring compliance issues.
  • Searching for missing or inconsistent information.
  • Generating reports or summaries.
  • Automating repetitive administrative tasks.
  • Answering operational questions using Yardi data.

These functionalities enable users to:

  • Reduce manual administrative effort.
  • Improve response time to operational issues.
  • Enable proactive exception management.
  • Scale automation across multiple departments.
  • Provide AI capabilities without requiring technical development resources.

In short, Virtuoso allows teams to focus on higher-value decision making rather than routine administrative tasks. 

Smart Invoicing (Smart AP)

Smart AP uses artificial intelligence and OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to automate invoice processing, coding, and approval workflows. It is able to capture invoice details automatically, learn from historical invoice coding patterns, suggest GL account coding and invoice allocations, route invoices through approval workflows, and accelerate invoice processing and payment cycles. 

This allows Yardi users to:

  • Reduce accounts payable data entry.
  • Improve coding consistency.
  • Expedite invoice approvals.
  • Reduce processing errors.
  • Focus on exceptions rather than routine invoice entry.

These benefits allow organizations to improve efficiency, increase accuracy, and allow finance teams to concentrate on oversight and exception management instead of repetitive data entry. 

AI Chatbots for CRM Flex and Leasing (Residential)

Yardi’s AI chatbot technology is designed to provide instant, accurate responses while escalating more complex conversations to leasing professionals when appropriate.

Through websites, chat, text and other digital channels, the chatbot provides 24/7 responses to questions on amenities, unit availability, property features, community details, and leasing information. The system will transfer conversations to leasing agents where human assistance is needed, while reducing time spent on providing prospects with basic information. 

The chatbot is also able to qualify leads before handing them off to staff. These features translate to:

  • Improved response times.
  • Increased prospect engagement.
  • Capturing leads outside business hours.
  • Reduced workload on leasing teams.
  • Creating a seamless experience from initial inquiry through leasing.

This allows organizations to improve the prospect experience, increase operational efficiency, and create more opportunities to convert interest into occupancy. 

Smart Lease (Commercial) 

Smart Lease is an AI-powered lease abstraction solution designed for commercial real estate. The system analyzes lease documents and automatically extracts key lease information directly into Yardi Voyager such as rent schedules, renewal options, escalation clauses, termination rights, tenant obligations, and commencement and expiration dates. 

Yardi populates structured lease records, and creates searchable lease data across the portfolio, which reduces manual data entry and abstraction effort.

These functionalities will allow Yardi users to:

  • Significantly reduces lease abstraction time.
  • Improve accuracy by minimizing manual entry errors.
  • Make lease information easier to search and analyze.
  • Quickly and easily access to critical lease terms for operations, accounting and asset management teams.
  • Improve audit readiness and data consistency.

Yardi reports that Smart Lease can reduce abstraction efforts from weeks to hours while keeping all lease information within the Yardi ecosystem.
