AI Property Assistant for UK Landlords

An AI property assistant is a smart tool built into your property management software that answers questions, scans documents, and automates tasks, all using artificial intelligence. August Intelligence is August's built-in AI property assistant, designed specifically for UK landlords managing buy-to-lets, HMOs, and mixed portfolios. It understands your tenancies, properties, and compliance deadlines, giving you personalised answers and proactive reminders without needing a separate app or service.

When you upload a tenancy agreement, August's AI reads the full document and extracts key details, tenant names, start and end dates, rent amounts, and specific terms. It then suggests populating your tenancy record with this data. You can approve, edit, or reject each suggestion before it's saved. The same AI tenancy document scanning works for certificates like Gas Safety, EPCs, and EICRs, pulling expiry dates automatically so you never miss a renewal.

Yes. August Intelligence lets you ask questions about any tenancy or property in your portfolio, and about landlording in general. Ask "How many times has Flat 12 paid late this year?" or "What are my obligations for HMO licensing?" and get a clear answer in seconds. Powered by OpenAI, August searches your stored data and combines it with landlord knowledge to give you accurate, actionable responses.

Yes. When you upload certificates like Gas Safety records or EPCs, August's AI reads the expiry date and offers to create automated compliance reminders on your behalf. You choose how far in advance you want to be alerted, days, weeks, or months. Reminders are delivered via in-app notifications, email, or SMS. This AI-powered compliance automation helps UK landlords stay on top of landlord compliance and avoid penalties for missed renewals.

August Intelligence is powered by OpenAI and draws on both your stored portfolio data and general landlord knowledge. For portfolio-specific questions, rent history, tenancy details, compliance status, answers come directly from the data in your account. For general landlording questions, the AI provides guidance based on current UK property management practices. August is transparent about what the AI can and can't do, and always recommends professional advice for legal or financial decisions.

No. August uses privacy-first AI, your data is never shared with or used to train third-party models. All AI processing is used solely to power features within your own account, like document scanning, Q&A, and smart reminders. August follows strict GDPR practices and provides clear documentation on how your data is handled. This is a core differentiator: your landlord data stays yours.

Smart contract scanning is included on every plan, including Free. Ask August, the AI Q&A feature, is available from the Growth plan, with 20 questions per month. Portfolio includes 50 per month, and Portfolio+ gives you unlimited. There's no separate AI add-on; August Intelligence features are built into each plan at the right level. You can start with smart document scanning today without entering a credit card, and upgrade when you need AI-powered Q&A.

August Intelligence is built directly into a full property management suite, covering rent tracking, compliance, documents, and reminders alongside the AI assistant. Unlike standalone AI tools, you don't need a separate subscription or integration. Powered by OpenAI, August's AI is privacy-first (no data training), answers general property management questions, questions about your portfolio, and proactively flags compliance deadlines.
