What is ProppiAI? Property Document Intelligence for NZ Landlords
ProppiAI turns scattered property documents into searchable intelligence. Upload your leases, insurance certs, and compliance docs — then ask questions in plain English.
ProppiAI is a document intelligence platform for NZ landlords and property managers. You upload your property documents — leases, insurance policies, inspection reports, compliance certs, the lot — and the AI organises them, pulls out the important stuff (dates, amounts, parties), and lets you search across everything in plain English.
The Paperwork Problem (You Know This One)
If you’ve got even one rental property, you already know the drill. The tenancy agreement’s in your email. The insurance certificate’s on Google Drive. The Healthy Homes assessment is… somewhere. Council rates notice? Probably still in the letterbox.
Now imagine you’ve got five properties. Or ten. Every property comes with its own stack of documents — and they all live in different places.
When tax time rolls around, or a tenant asks about their bond, or you need to prove Healthy Homes compliance, you’re hunting through inboxes, folders, and actual physical piles of paper. It’s not fun, and it’s not a good use of your time.
That’s the problem ProppiAI exists to fix.
How It Works (the Short Version)
1. Upload Whatever You’ve Got
PDFs, scanned documents, photos of paper — doesn’t matter. The AI reads everything through OCR (Optical Character Recognition), including dodgy scans and handwritten notes. You don’t need to sort or label anything.
2. AI Does the Filing
Every document gets automatically classified — tenancy agreement, insurance policy, rates notice, building report, compliance certificate, whatever it is. Then the AI extracts the key details: dates, dollar amounts, names, addresses, clauses. No manual data entry.
3. Ask Questions, Get Answers
This is the bit that changes how you work. Instead of opening folders and scanning PDFs, you just ask:
- “When does the lease at 42 Queen Street expire?”
- “Which properties have insurance expiring this quarter?”
- “What’s the rent on my Ponsonby flat?”
- “Show me the special conditions in the Smith tenancy.”
ProppiAI searches across your entire portfolio and shows you the answer — with a link to the original document so you can verify it yourself.
4. Deadline Tracking
The AI picks up every important date — lease renewals, insurance expiries, Healthy Homes deadlines, inspection dates — and keeps track of them for you. No more spreadsheets, no more calendar reminders you set up once and then forget to update.
Key Takeaway
The three things that eat your time as a landlord are sorting documents, finding information in them, and tracking deadlines. ProppiAI automates all three. Upload your docs, ask questions when you need answers, and let the AI keep track of what’s due.
Who Actually Uses This?
- Landlords with a few rentals — you don’t need ten properties to drown in paperwork. Even two or three creates enough admin to make you wonder where the weekend went.
- Portfolio owners (5–50+ properties) — this is where manual tracking properly falls over. You can’t keep it all in your head, and spreadsheets only work until they don’t.
- Property managers — handling documents across multiple owners, multiple properties. The search-across-everything feature is the game changer here.
- Body corporate committees — meeting minutes, maintenance plans, insurance certs, consent docs. It piles up.
What Does It Cost?
Free tier: up to 3 properties and 50 documents. Enough to give it a proper test run without paying a cent.
Paid plans start at $19/month (Essential — 10 properties, 500 documents) and go up to Team plans for property management companies.
Honestly, How’s It Different From a Google Drive Folder?
| What you need to do | Google Drive / email | ProppiAI |
|---|---|---|
| Organise documents | You sort them manually | AI classifies automatically |
| Find a specific piece of info | Open folders, scan through PDFs | Ask a question in plain English |
| Track deadlines | Separate spreadsheet or calendar | Pulled from documents, tracked |
| See compliance status | Check each property individually | Portfolio-wide dashboard |
| Process a new document | Read it, file it, update your notes | Upload it — everything else is AI |
The difference isn’t just speed — it’s that your documents become a searchable knowledge base instead of a filing system.
