Let a client triage bad property data into coding tasks
Building a desktop work/coding agent so a nonprofit client can inspect malformed Entrata/Yardi/Excel files, generate tasks for review, and email property managers about missing data. ·
Done withClaude CodeClaude
- What they did
- The author, a remote consultant, maintains software for a nonprofit that manages property tax exemption compliance for 70+ property managers using Entrata, Yardi, or custom Excel. He is building a desktop work/coding agent so the client can inspect problem files, generate coding tasks for his review, and email property managers about missing data. A hosted backend would handle users, permissions, and tasks.
- How it went
- Nothing has shipped yet. The source describes a plan in progress, with no results or numbers, and hopes it grows into a broader AI product for property managers within a couple of years.
- Worth knowing
- The client already uses Claude desktop and a Google Sheet for bugs and feature requests, so the agent builds on an existing workflow.
Try it yourself with Claude Code
I've put exports from our property management system in [folder path], including [Entrata, Yardi, or Excel files]. Go through each file and flag malformed or missing data, such as [blank unit numbers, bad dates, missing rent amounts], then write a task list with one item per problem group, naming the file, row, and suggested fix. Also draft a short email to each property manager listing only the missing data for their properties. Stop once the task list and email drafts are saved in [output folder], and do not send any emails or change the original files; show me the drafts first.
