AppFolio AI Leasing Assistant (branded as Lisa) is an AI-enabled leasing communication tool that can respond to renter inquiries via text and email, qualify leads, and support scheduling and showing workflows. The assistant is designed to reduce missed leads and to improve conversion through the stages of inquiry → tour → application → lease. AppFolio describes the assistant as part of a broader set of AI capabilities within the AppFolio platform.
AppFolio's more recent messaging references a component called Leasing Performer (described by the vendor as an agent-like AI that performs additional lead-to-lease workflow tasks), which may create naming or functionality ambiguity for buyers seeking the Lisa assistant specifically.

Important nuance: many public review sources discuss AppFolio Property Manager (the core property management system) rather than the AI Leasing Assistant as a standalone product. The assistant generally appears as a feature within the broader ecosystem; standalone third-party reviews specific to Lisa are comparatively limited.
