An AI system can automate 80% of a maintenance coordinator's work, letting property managers oversee twice as many units without hiring more staff. The speaker argues this creates new jobs rather than destroying them, comparing it to how typists disappeared but other roles emerged.
And that pro is going to handle about 80% of a maintenance coordinator's job. Nice. And that's— I believe it's going to be the first just really useful labor placing agent, whether that's— and I don't like to talk about cutting people's jobs, but what I tell people is if your maintenance people are 50% more efficient, then you can manage twice as many units without having to hire more people. And if you are a smaller operation and you may not need a maintenance coordinator. So like I said, we're not trying to take away anyone's job. We're not trying to facilitate that, but we don't have typists anymore either. So, you know, sometimes people have to relearn skills in a new world. I think AI is going to probably create more jobs than it, than it replaces.
