Problem
Renters are increasingly using AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini to find apartments, with 46% of renters now relying on AI according to J Turner (August 2026). Most multifamily properties do not appear in AI search results because traditional ILS listings were not built to be AI-readable, making properties invisible to this growing segment of renters and forcing them to pay more to compete for fewer leads.
Solution
Nollie provides an AI visibility and leasing engine that helps multifamily properties appear in AI-powered apartment searches. The platform turns resident communities into a leasing asset by publishing authentic, experience-based content on the property's own website, earning owned-domain citations that ILS listings cannot reproduce. Residents engage on Cobu, a fully moderated private community with events, feed, interest groups, marketplace, and perks, and Cobu turns that engagement into a living "Lifestyle Page" on the property's website with stats, events, and groups refreshing daily. This content is structured to be AI Search-readable, allowing properties that move first to become the ones AI learns to recommend.
Target Audience
Primary customers are multifamily property owners and operators, including national-scale property management companies and individual property owners, who need to capture demand from AI-driven apartment searches.
