TL;DR

  • Visitt is launching autonomous AI Agents for commercial real estate — AI teammates that handle repetitive operational tasks like work order triage, vendor follow-ups, and recurring issue resolution, so property teams can focus on high-value work and tenant relationships.
  • Built on Visitt's AI-native platform, these agents draw on years of operational data to act intelligently and independently within defined workflows — accelerating response times, reducing manual overhead, and bringing enterprise-grade automation to building operations for the first time.
  • Unlike generic AI tools bolted onto legacy systems, Visitt's AI Agents are purpose-built for CRE — trained on property operations workflows and designed to integrate seamlessly with existing team structures, making AI adoption practical, measurable, and immediately impactful.

The next chapter in building operations and property management is here– where AI teammates handle the repetitive work, so people can focus on what really matters. AI is transforming industries at a rapid pace, but in commercial real estate (CRE), adoption has lagged behind. That changes now. At Visitt, we've been building for this moment since day one – creating an AI-native building operations platform that works the way property teams do. Since 2022, we've embedded AI into the core of our platform, delivering AI-driven insights that flag recurring issues and blind spots, and AI-powered tools that automate workflows, boost team efficiency, and scale seamlessly across growing portfolios. These capabilities have already saved property teams thousands of hours while transforming the way they operate.

Now, we're adding a new layer: fully autonomous AI agents. Built on years of AI investment, these agents don't just support your workflows – they run them. They're designed to take the heavy lifting off your plate, reduce risk, and give you back time for the work only people can do. The first of these agents – our COI Agent – is already rewriting the rules of compliance management. By fully automating Certificate of Insurance (COI) workflows, it's built to save teams thousands of hours each year, ensuring 99%+ compliance, and removing one of the most persistent headaches in building operations.

And this is just the beginning.

Why Has AI Adoption Lagged in Commercial Real Estate – and How Can That Change?

We've seen how quickly AI has transformed industries like online customer support, where everything happens digitally, knowledge is centralized, and workflows repeat. But CRE is different. It's complex, people-driven, and still running on too many legacy systems.

That's exactly why we built Visitt to be AI-native from the ground up – not bolting on AI later, but designing every workflow so it could be powered, optimized, or automated by AI from day one.

For property teams, this means freedom from repetitive administrative work. For tenants, it means faster, smoother experiences without constant requests or delays. And for entire portfolios, it delivers stronger compliance, higher efficiency, and happier stakeholders.

Meet the COI Agent: The First AI Teammate for Certificate of Insurance Management

If you've ever managed COIs, you know the drill: long email chains, manual document reviews, renewal reminders in spreadsheets, and the constant risk of something slipping through the cracks.

Our COI Agent changes that. It reads your contracts, understands your insurance requirements, validates incoming COIs, and handles all communication with tenants and vendors – only looping you in when necessary. It's like having a teammate who never misses a deadline, never forgets a detail, and doesn't need a coffee break.

How Does the COI Agent Work from Start to Finish?

Before the COI Agent, managing Certificates of Insurance was a slow, hands-on process. You'd sign a contract, then email the tenant or vendor requesting their COI. They'd send over a PDF, which you'd manually compare against the insurance requirements in the lease or contract. If it didn't match, you'd go back and forth – sometimes multiple times – until everything was corrected. Meanwhile, renewal dates were tracked in spreadsheets, leaving teams hoping nothing slipped through the cracks. Even with traditional COI tracking software, the burden never really disappeared – it simply moved into a dashboard. Teams still had to interpret contracts, reach out to vendors, collect documents, and follow up endlessly.

The COI Agent changes this completely. Instead of assisting with the process, it runs it. The agent begins by autonomously reading leases and vendor agreements to extract the exact insurance requirements, eliminating the need for human setup or guesswork. From there, it handles all communication with tenants and vendors: requesting certificates, sending reminders, and following up automatically until everything is in place. Once a certificate is submitted, the agent instantly validates it against the extracted requirements, flags any mismatches or gaps, and updates compliance status in real time.

The work doesn't stop at validation. The agent continuously monitors for expirations and coverage lapses, taking proactive action before risks escalate. Renewal requests go out automatically, with the property team notified only if human input is truly needed. Across entire portfolios, this means no more toggling between systems, no more chasing emails, and no more hours lost in PDF reviews.

The impact is immediate and measurable. On average, property teams will save more than 30 minutes per COI. Compliance rates can climb to 99%, with far fewer coverage gaps and zero missed renewals. What once required constant oversight is now a full handoff: a process that runs in the background, silently ensuring risk is managed, compliance is assured, and relationships with vendors and tenants remain smooth.

Instead of drowning in repetitive admin work, property teams regain hours, days, and even weeks of time – time they can now spend on higher-impact work that truly drives their portfolio forward.

Unlike basic AI tools that only assist with COI validation, Visitt's agent takes full ownership of the workflow – from start to finish:

  • Autonomous Requirements Extraction – Instantly reads and interprets insurance requirements from leases and contracts – no manual setup, no guesswork.
  • Communications on Autopilot – Sends requests, reminders, and follow-ups to tenants and vendors without involving the property team.
  • Self-Validating Intelligence – Reviews incoming COIs against the requirements – flagging missing documents, inconsistencies, and expirations automatically.
  • Continuous Real-Time Risk Intelligence – Monitors for coverage lapses or missing COIs and alerts teams before risks escalate.
  • Frictionless Onboarding – Buildings, vendors, and tenants come online fast – no paperwork bottlenecks, no compliance delays.
  • Zero-Burden for Tenants – Tenants stay focused on their business. The agent handles COI compliance silently in the background.

FAQ

  • What are Visitt's autonomous AI Agents for commercial real estate?

    Visitt's AI Agents are autonomous digital teammates that independently handle specific operational tasks — like COI tracking, vendor follow-ups, recurring issue resolution, and tenant communications — within defined parameters. Unlike basic automation, they understand context, make decisions, and take action around the clock, so your team can focus on work that requires human judgment.
  • How do AI Agents differ from regular property management automation?

    Regular automation follows rigid, predefined rules and breaks down when conditions change. AI Agents understand context, adapt to new information, and make intelligent decisions within their designated scope. They continuously improve based on outcomes, making them significantly more capable than traditional rule-based automation for handling the complexity of real-world building operations.
  • Which operational tasks can Visitt's AI Agents handle?

    Visitt's initial AI Agents handle four key task types: COI Tracking (monitoring insurance expiration and compliance gaps), Vendor Follow-Up (ensuring open work orders don't fall through the cracks), Recurring Issue Detection (identifying patterns and initiating preventive action), and Tenant Communication (handling routine status updates and notifications in a consistent, on-brand voice).
