For apartment owners in Israel

How it works — the AI agent that rents your apartment for you

You tell Gabbai, our agent, about the apartment on WhatsApp — a short interview, a few minutes. From there it writes the ad, publishes it, answers every enquiry from what's recorded in the system, screens against your criteria and books viewings into the slots you keep updated. You choose the tenant; everything else happens without you.

No commitment, nothing to install. Gabbai identifies itself as an automated agent in its first message.

What you do, and what we do

Your active work is four things. Everything else is on us.

Your work4 things

  • Tell Gabbai about the apartment — once, in under five minutes.
  • Keep the viewing times updated.
  • Decide when you're asked to decide.
  • Show up for the viewing.

Our work12 things

  • We write the ad from the details you gave.
  • We produce a version for each platform, with a link that identifies the apartment.
  • We list it on our marketplace too, at no extra cost.
  • We answer every enquiry, at any hour.
  • When something's missing we ask you once, and keep the answer.
  • We collect the enquirer's details and check them against your criteria.
  • We reply politely to whoever doesn't fit.
  • We book viewings from the slots you set.
  • We send a reminder before, and a confirmation on the day.
  • We re-offer a cancelled slot to the waitlist, immediately.
  • After the viewing we check who's interested and collect documents with consent.
  • We keep a transparent board of every enquirer, and send one daily update.

The steps — from the first message to the keys

9 steps. You're active in three of them.

  1. You tell Gabbai about the apartment

    A short WhatsApp interview against a "listing complete" checklist: the apartment's details and costs, photos, tenant criteria, viewing times, and whether it's currently occupied.

    • You can stop halfway and pick it up whenever — everything is saved.
    • Full-resolution photos go through the dashboard; WhatsApp compresses them.

    You

  2. We write the ad, you paste it

    We produce a version shaped for each platform, with a WhatsApp link that identifies the apartment, and mark it WhatsApp-enquiries-only.

    • It's listed on our marketplace too, from day one.
    • The text is ready to copy — you paste it wherever you chose.

    UsYou

  3. Every enquiry gets an answer, about the right apartment

    The message the enquirer sends already identifies the apartment, and Gabbai answers only from what's recorded in the system — never from guesses.

    • A question we can't answer becomes one question to you — and the answer is saved to the listing for good.
    • Anyone who messages the number without a link is asked which apartment they mean.

    Us

  4. Screening against your criteria

    Gabbai collects the enquirer's details in conversation — household, pets, smoking, move-in date, lease length — and checks them against the criteria you set.

    • A fit goes to scheduling. A non-fit gets a polite answer.
    • A criterion that would discriminate unlawfully never enters the system.

    Us

  5. Viewings from the slots you keep updated

    You keep the available times updated — on WhatsApp or in the dashboard — and qualified candidates book themselves into them.

    • A reminder before, and a confirmation on the day.
    • A cancelled slot is re-offered to the waitlist immediately.
    • Group or one-to-one viewings — your call.

    UsYou

  6. Your strongest candidates, and you choose

    After the viewing Gabbai checks who's interested, collects documents from them with their consent, and shows you a side-by-side of the strongest candidates.

    • The choice is yours. Everyone else gets a polite answer.
    • Once you've chosen — a reminder to take the ads down.

  7. From the choice to the keysComing soon

    Collecting the tenant file, verification within the law, a contract assembled from a lawyer-reviewed template with the system's own facts, signature, securities inside the legal cap, and a handover protocol with meter readings.

    This step is still being built. Today our process ends when you choose the tenant.

  8. You see everything, all the time

    At any moment you can see every enquirer and the stage they're at, the viewing schedule, and how conversations ended.

    • One daily update: what happened, who's waiting on you, what needs a decision.
    • When a decision is yours the conversation comes to you — that's code, not the model's judgement.

  9. Signing is the beginning, not the endComing soon

    The chosen tenant — already in our system with their whole history — becomes a managed tenant, and the conversation continues in the same place: rent day, repairs, renewals.

    This part is still being built. Today we're with you up to choosing the tenant.

The rules we don't break

Six things that stay true in every conversation, at every stage.

  • Gabbai says it's an automated agent

    "An automated agent, not a person" — on first contact with every renter, with a link to the privacy notice.

  • The numbers come from the system

    Prices, dates and lease terms are given by you and stored by us. Gabbai never invents them.

  • The AI presents, you decide

    We never pick a tenant and never commit on your behalf. Ever.

  • No negotiating, no legal drafting

    Gabbai never negotiates money and never drafts legal text — not today, and not once the closing step arrives.

  • Handing over to a person is code

    When a decision is yours, or something leaves the script, the conversation comes to you. The model cannot switch that off.

  • The owner pays, not the tenant

    Israeli law forbids passing brokerage fees to the tenant — and that includes what we're paid.

The apartment is occupied? That's a normal case

Most apartments are re-let while someone still lives in them. We coordinate it, so you're not the middleman between two tenants.

  • Viewings with the current tenantTimes are agreed with them first, and only then offered to candidates.
  • Move-in matched to move-outThe new tenant's move-in date is aligned to the move-out.
  • The coordination goes through usThe handover between outgoing and incoming tenant is coordinated by us, not by you.

Looking for an apartment, not letting one?

Every apartment we manage is listed on our marketplace too, with the full monthly cost — rent, city tax and building fees.
