Property management, training, 100+ properties

Background

Property management in Toulouse. Over 100 properties handled day to day. Before that, years of learning the trade on the job, one apartment after another. I've seen every setup go by: studios, villas, residences, holiday lets.

Founder of a training academy for French property managers. Trainer to hundreds of hosts starting out, structuring, or scaling. I see every day the problems nobody really solves.

Why MyKonci

Hosts spend their evenings, their weekends, their bank holidays answering guests. The same questions. The same access codes. The same check-in times. Every ten minutes.

I tested every solution: basic virtual assistants, automated FAQs, generic chatbots. Nothing really worked. Guests wanted to talk to someone, not to a drop-down menu.

When Nicolas showed me what the new conversational AI models could do, I realised we could finally solve this problem for real. Not 80 percent. Not "most of the time". Really.
