3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our services. Specific uses include:

Managing deals, properties, contacts, and leads; providing AI-powered analysis and suggestions; tracking portfolio performance; and facilitating property management.
Recording and transcribing calls (with consent), providing call coaching insights, sending and receiving SMS messages, managing CRM contacts, and generating call summaries.
Classifying user intent from incoming messages, generating daily briefings from your data, drafting reply suggestions, creating approval workflows for AI-composed messages, and routing communications across channels.

4. AI and Automated Processing

Our platform uses artificial intelligence to provide features including:

Call transcription and summarization
Intent classification for incoming messages
Daily briefing generation from your deals, leads, and communications
Draft reply suggestions for SMS and email
Deal analysis and coaching recommendations

Important: We do not use your data to train AI models. Your data is processed by AI solely to provide our services to you. All AI-generated outbound messages (SMS, email) require your explicit approval before being sent — the AI drafts content, but a human always approves the final message.

AI-generated content is clearly identified within our applications, and you retain full control over whether to act on AI suggestions.
