In short: this overview lists the automated features in a modern society platform, explains where AI assist and AI search fit, walks through automating a society meeting, and shows how to measure whether automation is working. For a gentler introduction, read our beginner's guide to automation.
Which features are automated in myKutir?
| Area | What happens automatically |
|---|---|
| Billing | Bills for every flat, receipts, reminders, late fees |
| Accounts | Payments posted to funds, statements always current |
| Helpdesk | Complaints routed to owners, deadlines tracked, late ones escalated |
| Maintenance | Work orders raised ahead of scheduled servicing |
| Gate | Visitor approval requests, overstay alerts, parcel reminders |
| Security | Alerts when a guard is late or a post is uncovered |
| Notices | Scheduled delivery to every phone |
| Meetings | Live quorum count, turnout during e-voting |
Where do AI assist and AI search fit?
Automation follows rules. AI helps with language. Complaint draft assist makes complaints clear before they enter the automated workflow. Notice writing assist drafts notices that are then delivered on schedule. AI search lets residents find answers in published notices, with sources shown, so fewer questions reach the committee.
Real-world scenario: automating a society meeting
An illustrative example. A 280-flat society plans its AGM.
- The notice is drafted with AI and scheduled. The system checks whether the notice period meets the bye-laws.
- Members acknowledge the notice in the app.
- On the day, members are checked in as present, by proxy or online. The quorum count updates live.
- Resolutions and an election run on e-voting, with turnout shown as voting proceeds.
- Minutes move from draft to circulated to approved, with signatories recorded.
- Action items get owners and carry forward until closed.
Common mistakes
- Automating without agreeing on the rules first.
- Setting reminders so often that residents mute them.
- Escalations that go to nobody.
- Running paper and digital processes side by side for too long.
Automated or manual processes?
| Process | Manual | Automated |
|---|---|---|
| Quorum | Counted by hand | Live count |
| Reminders | Calls | Scheduled |
| Servicing | When something breaks | Raised ahead of time |
| Escalation | Rare | On deadline |
Step-by-step guide to automating
- Pick the three most time-consuming routine tasks.
- Agree on rules for each.
- Set them up and tell residents.
- Add more areas once the first are working.
How do you measure the impact?
- Hours volunteers spend on billing each month.
- Share of payments made online and on time.
- Average time to close a complaint.
- Share of visitors approved in the app.
- Whether servicing happens before breakdowns.
