Property Management

AI Agent that Flags Rent Discrepancies Automatically

Built for Property Managers

Are you spending hours cross-checking rent payments with bank records every month? Do small mistakes slip through because the process is slow and manual?

This AI-powered workflow compares incoming payment data with tenant records, flags missed or incorrect payments, and spots upcoming lease endings so you can catch issues early and avoid time-consuming reviews.

What to Expect

Fully automates rent reconciliation for property managers and finance teams.

It flags missed payments, mismatched amounts, and upcoming lease expirations using data from your own spreadsheets.

This AI agent watches your Google Drive for new bank statements, then runs each transaction through GPT-4o and tenant records stored in Google Sheets. It matches, checks, and logs only the exceptions: missed rent, incorrect totals, or leases that need follow-up, into a clean alert sheet using n8n.

You get the important stuff up front without digging through rows of data.

The old way?
Done manually.

Here’s what the old process looked like:
Download each CSV or statement manually
Search for tenant names across rows
Match payments to rent amounts by eye
Check lease dates using a separate sheet
Log missed or incorrect payments into a tracker
It was time-consuming, inconsistent, and easy to miss something, especially as more properties came online.

The new way?
Fully automated.

With this automation, the entire process gets handled for you:
Monitor Drive or folders for new statements
Parse each line using GPT-4o and structured prompts
Match tenant metadata with rent and lease info
Flag missed payments or wrong amounts automatically
Log results into an alert sheet, ready for review.
Your team focuses only on what needs attention, saving hours every month and reducing costly mistakes.

Find Your Automation Sweet Spot

How the Automation Comes Together

Your AI-powered workflow quietly checks every payment in the background to catch issues before they slip through.

n8n connects all the tools and handles the full process from start to finish, while Google Drive monitors for new bank statement uploads in real time.

Google Sheets stores tenant data and logs any mismatches, and GPT-4o reviews each payment to identify and report potential problems.

No more scanning statements or matching payments by hand.

Real-time alerts only

Only real issues like missed rent, incorrect amounts, or upcoming lease endings get flagged.

Saves $1800 to $3000 per month

Skip the VA costs and hours of manual checking. The agent runs it all automatically.

Zero guesswork

Every alert is clear, time-stamped, and ready for follow-up.

Fully hands-off

Just drop the file in Google Drive and let the n8n automation take it from there.

What We Actually Tell the AI

This is the exact prompt we send to GPT-4o. It takes the raw form inputs and turns them into clear, natural messages your team would be comfortable sending.

Rent Reconciliation Alert Prompt

Role Instructioning → Sets the assistant’s identity as a rent reconciliation assistant to establish purpose and tone.

Zero-Shot Prompting
→ Directs the assistant to complete the task without any examples, relying solely on the provided instructions.

Step-by-Step Task Breakdown
→ Lists specific rules for flagging tenants based on missed payments, incorrect amounts, lease status, and remaining balances.

Conditional Logic Framing
→ Explains how to treat incomplete months due to cutoff dates to prevent false flags.

Output Constraints
→ Specifies a strict JSON format the assistant must use when returning alerts.

We automate, you accelerate

We'll handle the tech so you don't have to.

You don’t need to set up or learn how automation works.
Our AI agents are built to run fully hands-off, like a clone that handles the repetitive tasks for you.

Need something custom? We’ll handle it all including:

What is prompt writing and optimization?

It is the process of crafting and refining instructions for AI so it understands the task, delivers accurate results, and formats the output exactly how you need it.
What we do exactly?
Understand your context and use case
Help optimize and rewrite your prompts
Test and refine outputs until it’s working perfectly

What is automation flow design and testing?

This is where we map out how your AI agent behaves: when it runs, what it checks, how it reacts, and what to do if something fails. We don’t just build it. We test it end to end.
What we do exactly?
Design the full logic and decision tree
Add fallback steps for edge cases
Run multiple rounds of testing before launch

What are tool integrations?

We connect your AI agent to the tools you already use. Email, spreadsheets, CRMs, databases, APIs, and more. Everything stays in sync without you needing to copy and paste a thing.
What we do exactly?
Identify which tools your agent needs to talk to
Set up reliable two-way connections
Ensure smooth data flow across systems

What is delivery setup?

Delivery setup means we make sure your AI’s output gets exactly where you need it. Whether that's your inbox, a Google Sheet, your Slack channel, or a CRM.
What we do exactly?
Configure where and how outputs get delivered
Format results so they’re ready to use
Schedule timing or triggers for delivery

What is ongoing maintenance and updates?

AI agents aren't set and forget. We handle updates to prompts, workflows, and integrations so your system keeps working as your needs change.
What we do exactly?
Monitor performance and catch issues early
Update logic, prompts, or tools as needed
Keep everything running behind the scenes

Let us handle it for you.

Just send us an email and tell us the task that is wasting your time and we’ll design the agent and run it in the background.

Or, enter your email and we'll send you how to get started.

Frequently asked questions

We’ve covered the usual questions. Got a unique one? Send us an email

Do I need to know how to code to use this?

Not at all. If you’ve ever used Google Sheets or set up a basic automation tool like Zapier, you’re good. And if you’d rather not touch it yourself, we can help get it running for you.

What if my rent schedule isn’t monthly or tenants pay in different ways?

That’s fine. The agent reads your own tenant sheet including due dates, amounts, and lease rules. You set the terms, it adapts. Whether it’s weekly, bi-weekly, or variable, it still flags what matters.

Can I use this for other kinds of reconciliations like utility bills or contractor payouts?

Absolutely. Just change the reference sheet and tweak the prompt logic. If the payment has a pattern and the records are in Sheets, this agent can audit it.

Built to be Cloned

You can use this exact setup, connect your own Google Sheets and Drive folder, and have a working rent reconciliation agent today. It scales easily, whether you're managing a few units or an entire portfolio.

If you’re tired of tracking payments by hand and checking lease dates one by one, this takes that work off your plate.

The agent’s already set up. You can copy it, tweak the AI prompt, and let it handle the checks for you.
