## How do you answer tenant questions without adding staff?

Give Nolan your building rules and policies. It answers tenants’ questions about parking, packages, rules and rent dates by text, email or chat, day or night, in English or French. When it isn’t sure, it tells the tenant it is checking and asks your team. It never makes up a rule.

## What it does

- **Knows each building**: Parking, packages, laundry, pets, renovations: the rules you give it.
- **Every channel**: Text, email and chat, day or night, in English or French.
- **Asks when unsure**: Tells the tenant it is checking, and puts the question on your team’s list.
- **Learns your business**: Add a rule once and every tenant gets the same answer.

## How does it work?

1. **Add your rules**: Paste your building rules, policies and FAQs, building by building.
2. **Tell your tenants**: Share the number, email and chat they can use for questions.
3. **Questions get answered**: Saved in each conversation. Anything new goes to your team.

## An example, start to finish Four questions in one evening

1. 9:12 p.m. Lena asks where guests can park; Sam asks for the package room code.
2. 9:13 p.m. Maya asks if she can paint her bedroom. Nolan answers from your rules: yes, a light neutral colour, repainted before move-out.
3. 9:15 p.m. Jordan asks about subletting for the summer. Your rules don’t say, so Nolan tells him Ana will reply tomorrow.
4. Next morning Your team sees three answered and one waiting for them.

## What your team sees

The day’s questions and how each was answered.

- **Answered for you**: Each question and the rule Nolan answered from.
- **Only what needs you**: Questions Nolan wasn’t sure of, on your list.
- **Each tenant’s history**: Every conversation on the tenant’s page.

## Who it’s for

- It doesn’t change lease terms or grant exceptions.

## Other ways to do it

| Option | How it works | The catch |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Office phone and email | Your team answers during office hours. | The same questions all day, and evenings wait. |
| A tenant portal FAQ | Tenants look up answers themselves. | Few tenants read it, and it can’t answer a follow-up. |
| Nolan | Answers each question from your rules, on the tenant’s channel, and asks you when unsure. | Only as good as the rules you give it; new answers are one rule away. |
