Fixie is an AI-powered maintenance assistant designed to simplify how residents submit work orders. Instead of filling out a traditional form, residents can describe their issue naturally—by typing, speaking, or sharing photos or videos.
Fixie then guides them through a short troubleshooting process before submitting a work order, helping ensure requests are clear, complete, and actionable for your team.
What your residents will see
When a resident opens the maintenance portal, they’ll be greeted with:
“Hi, I’m Fixie, your AI maintenance assistant. I’m here to help get your request to the right person quickly.”
From there, residents are guided through a simple, chat-based experience where they can:
Talk or type their issue
Upload a photo of the problem
Submit a video (recommended for best results)
After the resident submits their issue, Fixie will:
Ask a few follow-up questions
Suggest safe troubleshooting steps
Help determine if the issue can be resolved immediately
⚠️ Fixie will only suggest safe actions and will not recommend anything that could be dangerous or require professional expertise.
At the end of the interaction, Fixie confirms the outcome for the Property Manager:
If the issue is still unresolved:
A work order is automatically created on the resident’s behalf
Includes a detailed summary and full transcript
If the issue is resolved:
When a tenant submits a maintenance request, Fixie works directly with them to diagnose the issue and guide them toward a potential solution. This may include troubleshooting common problems—such as a jammed garbage disposal, or answering general policy-related questions.
If the issue is successfully resolved without the need for a property manager, technician, or vendor to step in, the work order will still be created and marked as “Resolved by Agent.” This ensures the interaction is documented for visibility and reporting, while confirming that no further action is required.
