Watch a property manager ask Buildium who hasn't paid, in Claude or ChatGPT. The film runs 29 seconds. She gets four plain answers about rent, repairs, leases and empty units, straight from her own account.
What happens when you ask Buildium in Claude or ChatGPT?
The AI looks the answer up in your Buildium account and replies in plain English. Each answer comes straight from your account, and Claude and ChatGPT work the same way. Elaichi links Buildium to the AI, so you set it up once and then just ask.
Which four questions does the film ask?
The property manager asks about rent, repairs, leases and empty units. The building, the people and the amounts in the film are made up.
- Rent: Who hasn't paid this month?
- Repairs: Which repair requests are still open?
- Leases: Whose lease ends next month?
- Empty units: Which units are empty?
What do you need to ask Buildium?
You need three things: Buildium Premium, an AI plan that can add a custom connector, and Elaichi. Premium is the Buildium plan with the Open API that the connection uses.
Checked October 2026: Buildium's pricing page, OpenAI's custom MCP guide and Anthropic's custom connector guide.
Where is the full setup guide?
There are four steps, and a Buildium admin does the first one. The written guide has every step, with the menu paths, the read-only key and the safety notes: How to use ChatGPT with Buildium (or Claude). The Buildium connector page shows each step with screenshots.
