In this episode, Alex Howe, SVP of Marketing + Growth of Funnel, sits down with Tyler Christiansen, CEO of Funnel, to unpack a new era for Funnel: multifamily's first front-office-only AI platform. They get into two F-words, Fenix and Fabric, explain what orchestration means for multifamily operators, and share why Funnel remains committed to an open, human-in-the-loop approach to AI. The conversation explores how operators can combine AI, people, and workflows to improve the renter experience without giving up control, flexibility, or the value only humans can provide. In this episode: — What it means for Funnel to be a front-office-only AI platform — How Fenix, one AI to connect everything — How Fabric connects Funnel with LLMs, property management systems, and other PropTech tools — Why Workflow Studio gives operators more control over orchestration — The case for human-in-the-loop AI instead of autonomous property management — Why open integrations matter more in the AI era — Commitment to remaining independent and not building a property management system — What operators should consider when making long-term technology decisions
