Fall 2026 Release

    Audited, and a great deal bigger

    Respondit completed an independent SOC 2 Type II examination — and shipped live translation, automated status outreach, a full maintenance and inspections module, conversation forensics, and deeper Yardi integration.

    Security & Compliance

    We completed a SOC 2 Type II examination

    An independent auditor tested how we actually operate — access control, encryption in transit and at rest, change management, and monitoring — over a sustained observation period, not a single point in time. Your resident data has never been used to train our models, and the report is available under NDA.

    Live Translations

    Answered in the language they called in

    Español · Tiếng Việt · 中文 · Русский …

    A resident calls in their own language; your staff hears them in English in real time — and replies the same way. Voice and text, 60+ languages, and the translation knows public housing: recertifications, HAP, work orders, and inspections aren’t treated as generic conversation.

    Outbound Automation

    Status updates that go out on their own

    Every status change a resident or applicant would have called about now reaches them first — by phone, SMS, or email, in their language.

    • Recertification and annual review reminders
    • Application and waitlist position updates
    • Work-order and inspection notifications
    • Rent balance and payment reminders

    Maintenance & Inspections

    The whole work order, end to end

    Intake through resolution in one module — with unit and site inspections scheduled, tracked, and closed out alongside the tickets they generate.

    • Intake by voice, text, email, or chat
    • Unit and site inspections with scheduling
    • Photos and notes on every ticket
    • Emergency issues escalated to a person
    Conversation Intelligence

    Forensics on your whole queue

    Every conversation summarized and tagged — so you can see why residents contact you, what consumes staff time, and where automation or proactive outreach would matter most.

    • Top contact drivers and repeat-call patterns
    • Language and translation needs, measured
    • What can safely be automated vs. kept with staff
    • Free 30-day forensics assessment for PHAs

    PMS Integration

    Deeper roots in Yardi

    Two-way sync with Yardi Voyager, so residents, units, leases, and work orders stay current in both systems without anyone rekeying them.

    • Two-way sync with Yardi Voyager
    • AppFolio and RealPage supported
    • Records write back automatically
    • Certified Yardi partner

    Communicate. Act. Understand.

    Three things have to be true before a housing authority's phone queue actually shrinks. Most vendors do the first one.

    01

    Communicate

    Every channel, every language, answered on the first ring.

    Voice, SMS, email, chat. No queue, no hold music, no after-hours voicemail — and no waiting for the one bilingual staff member to be free.

    Voice, SMS, email, and chat on one agent
    Live translation across 60+ languages
    24/7, with unlimited concurrent conversations
    Escalates to a person the moment it should
    02

    Act

    Then it does the work, and writes it back.

    This is the part most AI skips. The conversation ends in a completed task in your system of record — not a message in someone's inbox to action later.

    Opens, routes, and updates the work order
    Schedules unit and site inspections
    Sends recertification and status outreach by phone, SMS, email
    Two-way sync with Yardi Voyager

    A human stays in the loop on every consequential decision, and every action is logged. Respondit is SOC 2 Type II audited.

    How it’s governed
    03

    Understand

    And tells you what the whole queue was really about.

    Every conversation summarized, tagged, and searchable — so the pattern behind 400 calls becomes a decision you can take to your board.

    Beyond communications

    One platform, whole portfolio

    RespondIT is one part of a deeper stack. Through native integrations with 8AI and TaxCreditOS, resident communications, AI-driven housing processes, compliance, maintenance, and PMS integration work as one system — across every program you operate.

    RespondIT

    • SOC 2 Type II examined

    • Vouchers, annual recertifications & report-a-change
    • Inspections scheduling and tracking
    • HOTMA-compliant income & rent calculations

    One compliance core. 8AI and TaxCreditOS compute HOTMA income and rent (PIH 2023-27) and SEMAP scores through the same shared, versioned calculation engine — identical inputs give identical results in every product, so a certification never depends on which system ran it.

    Independently examined

    Respondit completed a SOC 2 Type II examination. Unlike a point-in-time review, a Type II engagement tests whether our controls actually operated as described across a sustained observation period. The report is available to customers and prospects under NDA.

    SOC 2 TYPE IIIndependently audited

    Procurement teams: we can provide the full report, our subprocessor list, and answers to your security questionnaire.

    Request the report

    Encrypted in transit and at rest

    Every call recording, transcript, message, and resident record is encrypted on the wire and in storage.

    Least-privilege access

    Access to customer data is scoped to the people who need it, reviewed on a schedule, and revoked when roles change. SSO and SAML are available on Enterprise.

    Monitored and change-controlled

    Changes to production are reviewed and logged, and systems are monitored continuously rather than checked at audit time.

    Your data stays yours

    Resident conversations are never used to train our models. Retention is configurable, and your data leaves with you if you go.
