Lea Wins 2024 Artificial Intelligence Excellence Award: Putting GenAI to Work for Renters and Property Managers

We have exciting news to share! Our AI-powered leasing assistant, Lea, has won the 2024 Artificial Intelligence Excellence Award from Business Intelligence Group. This award means a lot to us because it recognizes our efforts to use the latest AI technology to make the rental experience better for everyone.

There's a lot of buzz around Generative AI (GenAI) these days, but at Apartment List, we're not just following the trend – we're using GenAI to solve real problems in the rental industry. What makes Lea special is that it's powered by the millions of renter interactions we've gathered over the years, giving it an unparalleled understanding of what renters need and what property managers face every day.

For renters, Lea is like having a knowledgeable friend who understands your unique situation, who’s available 24/7, and can help you navigate the often-frustrating rental process. Whether renters are just starting their apartment search or have specific questions about a property, or want to tour, Lea is there to guide and support every step of the way.

Property managers and their teams, on the other hand, can think of Lea as their tireless sidekick, working around the clock to connect with potential residents across all communication channels. By building relationships and nurturing leads based on data-driven insights, Lea makes it easier for property managers to fill vacancies and keep their communities thriving.

We're also super excited to give you a sneak peek of what's next: at this year's RentCon, we'll be unveiling Lea Pro, our next generation, GenAI-powered product. With even more advanced features and capabilities, across all channels, Lea Pro is designed to take the rental experience to new heights. We can't wait to share more details with you!

Winning this award is a testament to the innovation, passion, and hard work of our amazing Lea team and the support of our incredible partners. Together, we're not just changing the way people rent – we're showing the world what's possible when you put GenAI to work in our specific industry.

As a team driven by our mission to make it easy for renters to find a home they love, this recognition fuels our determination to keep pushing forward. We understand that when we empower renters with the tools and support they need, we're also creating value for our property manager partners. By streamlining the leasing process, reducing vacancies, and enhancing the overall rental experience, Lea and Lea Pro are designed to help property managers thrive in an increasingly competitive landscape. We're excited to continue collaborating with our partners to shape the future of renting and to share our progress with you along the way.

Thank you for being a part of our journey – your trust and support mean the world to us!
