Yardi is the platform of choice for some of CRE’s biggest players, and they are joining us for a live webinar to discuss AI! Join us for a live demo of Yardi Virtuoso May 20th at 11AM PST. Brian Sutherland (VP heading up the Yardi Virtuoso go to market) and Shivani Kumar (Applied AI lead, MIT MBA) will share strategic AI decisions top operators are making to stay ahead. Here's what they showed us on the prep call last week: 1) An MCP connector that pipes your live Voyager data straight into Claude. Financials, rent rolls, work orders, AP aging, budget comparisons. All authenticated through YardiOne with property level security permissions 2) A 30-page owner packet generated in about five minutes. Custom reports that used to take six months to build. I watched it happen live. Interactive dashboards where you can change leasing rates and rent growth assumptions and watch your NOI update on the fly 3) Premium agents with 30-40 agents working together on tasks like month-end close and payables approvals. And here's the wild part: Yardi can go into your database BEFORE the sales call and tell you exactly how much revenue lift you'd get from rolling out a specific agent. We're talking "2.2% lift in top line revenue" type statements, backed by your actual data 4) An agent marketplace where third parties (Deloitte, Real Foundations, your own consulting network) can build and deploy custom agents in your Yardi database 5) They're also connecting Yardi Matrix research data into the same interface. So you're pulling live portfolio data AND market research in one conversation. I promise you will not want to miss this one... Wednesday, May 20th. 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT. Free and open to everyone. If you're interested in joining, drop a comment below and I will DM you the registration link.

He spent $150 on gas and $300 on groceries this week. Let’s keep pumping inflation and make it really sting

@markgalante Manus kicks ass at complicated tasks and multi step tasks

@JakehellerAI Amazing! Would you say this replaces the need for Manus? Websites and decks is my only use case for Manus today...

We just put together the most comprehensive video on using claude design for commercial real estate marketing material (investor decks, BOVs, websites...etc) It's a must see... Link below!

@jonahdobkin Weve been doing them!

@JakehellerAI Congrats! You should start in-person collaborative AI workshops specifically tailored to RE and construction use cases! I’d be happy to help.

We just hit 1,000 YouTube subscribers for the AI for CRE Collective. Took way longer than I thought it would. Content is f*cking hard! Most people see the subscriber number, but here is what we see: 191 scripts written 191 videos shot (many with at least one second take... usually three) Hundreds of hours editing Hundreds of hours uploading, titling, thumbnailing, scheduling Late nights re-recording when the audio didn't work Plenty of videos that flopped A handful that did well A lot of "is this even working?" moments along the way YouTube has been a great growth channel for us. It's a beast and really tough nut to crack, but we're finally starting to see the ROI... So we're going to keep pushing. New content every single day. More demos. More honest AI tool reviews. More workflows and use cases people can actually use. 1,000 down. We're just getting started :)

Business can be painfully slow... My mom started her jewelry company over 15 years ago, and she's only now just starting to make serious strides. She made Simone Biles diamond goat necklace that she wore in the olympics which is pretty badass

@MaxTaayyylor @hey_itsfly Trying our best 🤟

@JakehellerAI @hey_itsfly Keep putting real value out there

@scaCarlos It’s a video. What do you mean?

@JakehellerAI Couldn't read it

@fmeyrath On our way!

@JakehellerAI Congrats!

@jamesonhaslam scripts brooooo

@JakehellerAI As a set builder?

Billy, this is Chuck. He’s maybe the fastest deck builder in California. His only defect is that 75% of his paycheck gets garnished for child support payments.

@gilmaman2 Doesn't feel like it :(

@JakehellerAI Always the sign of a banger post: you’re getting bookmark ratio’d

Next time you're comparing contractor estimates, try this: Step 1: Create a new folder on your desktop and label it whatever you like Step 2: Drop in the construction plans (if applicable) + all the bids Step 3: Open Claude Code (desktop version is fine) and give it access to the folder Step 4: Give it a prompt like the sample one below Step 5: Let it go to work

@Housing_Stuff Yes, claude chat cant manipulate files on your desktop tho

@JakehellerAI So Claude chat or code would yield similar results?

@Housing_Stuff Many ways to go about this. But I had a lot of files stored locally on my computer, which claude code can access. You could drag and drop to claude chat or chat gpt...

@JakehellerAI Why Claude Code for this work?

@JohnGonzalesLA1 Dm me your email and I can share an output

@JakehellerAI I’m an o.g. but would love to see the actual results of this query.

@amisraelhigh Almost threw up... Ended up going way down :)

@JakehellerAI Never seen that before.

Welcome to LA

@EPBResearch Wow thanks for sharing. Glad you’re doing better

Almost three years ago, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 liver cancer. After ~50 rounds of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation, and a life-saving liver transplant, I am cancer-free. This is my story: I was 12 years old when I first heard the words "Fibrolamellar carcinoma", a rare and aggressive liver cancer that primarily affects children, teenagers, and young adults. It is said that FLC occurs in about 1 in 5 million people. We caught it early, at Stage 1, and surgeons were able to remove the tumor. For the next 10 years, I was monitored closely through bloodwork, CT scans, and MRIs, and I showed no evidence of disease. Life went on the way you hope it does after a childhood cancer. I genuinely believed it was behind me. Then, in November 2023, 18 years after my original diagnosis, sudden and severe abdominal pain sent me to the emergency room. What we discovered changed my life and the lives of everyone around me forever. The cancer had come back, and this time, aggressively. Stage 4. Multiple tumors throughout my liver and lymph nodes, and potentially my pancreas. Surgery was ruled out completely. I moved through clinical trials while the disease continued to progress. The conversations with my doctors were not optimistic. "There's not much we can do." "We're looking to extend your survivability." These were the worst of moments. I was newly married, with life turned upside down and options narrowing. It really felt like there was no hope. That's when my brother found FibroFighters - a patient advocacy and education foundation for those impacted by FLC. From the moment my family connected with Tom Stockwell and Dr. Paul Kent, the organization's medical director and one of the world's leading experts on Fibrolamellar, everything started to change. They gave us direction, a plan, and a sense of possibility we had lost. In no uncertain terms, I am alive today because of them. Over the next 18 months, I underwent nearly 50 rounds of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation. Remarkably, the tumors began to shrink. In October 2025, almost two years after the night I walked into that emergency room, I received news that was originally impossible: I was eligible for a liver transplant. My sister-in-law, Luisa, stepped forward as my donor, an act of love and courage so profound that I am still, every single day, searching for words large enough to hold it. In the same operation, surgeons performed a Liver Transplant and a Whipple procedure, a one-of-a-kind surgery. I sit here today, seven months later, with no evidence of disease. When you're discharged from the transplant floor of the hospital, you ring a bell. There's a plaque next to it. It says: - I ring it once for myself, to commemorate my journey so far and to reflect on this moment. - I ring it again for those who have supported me and been by my side. - I ring it once more to honor my donor, who has given me a second chance. - I ring it lastly to encourage all of those who are still waiting on the list. This post is my attempt to honor the fourth ring, to help and encourage those still in need. I'm raising money for FibroFighters, the foundation that saved my life. They do extraordinary work for a disease that is still desperately misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and mistreated. Your support helps them do the same for the patients and families going through what I went through two years ago. secure.givelively.org/donate/fibrofi… If you can give, please consider giving. If you can't, please share my story. Either one helps someone still in their fight. Most importantly, to all those impacted by Fibrolamellar, there is reason to be hopeful. I am proof. *** #fibrolamellar #FLC
