    The Report — Beyond the headlines on AI, policy, and capital pressure

    Recorded right after NMHC Annual, this episode looks past the noise to what’s actually shaping multifamily right now. Alex Howe, SVP Marketing + Growth at Funnel, and Tyler Christiansen, CEO of Funnel, unpack how sustained cost pressure is driving real operating decisions, why early AI hype cooled, and where AI is finally delivering value inside centralized workflows. They break down what the recent coverage reveals about competing visions for AI, explore how capital consolidation and policy signals are influencing operator behavior, and close with why ZRS Management’s decision to standardize on Funnel across 110,000+ units is a signal worth paying attention to.

    Inside the Funnel with Mallory Sheibley — Designing AI for a people-first multifamily industry

    Rather than chasing novelty, Mallory Sheibley, Lead Product Manager - AI at Funnel, is focused on building something more difficult and more durable; AI that improves outcomes in a people-first, highly regulated industry without stripping away judgment, trust, or accountability. In this episode we cover:  What AI is actually for: Reducing repetitive work so teams can focus on judgment, empathy, and relationships. Building AI for high-trust, regulated work: Clear guardrails and human review are what make AI usable at scale. Why “self-learning” AI is mostly a myth: Autonomous learning sounds efficient but introduces risk without oversight. Perfecting the handoff, the hardest design problem in AI: Knowing when the system should act and when it should step aside.

    Centralization, specialization and AI in multifamily — Rebroadcast of the Apartment Jedi with Andrew Bowen

    In this rebroadcast of the Apartment Jedi podcast, Funnel CEO Tyler Christiansen joins host Andrew Bowen for a wide-angle look at the operating-model shift reshaping multifamily. They cover where centralization and specialization actually stand today, how AI is evolving from simple automation to agentic systems, and why brand power is finally emerging as a real economic lever in rental housing. Tyler breaks down what he’s seeing across REITs, large fee managers, and early-stage adopters: which operating behaviors are sticking, where friction remains, and how the next generation of workflows will change staffing, service levels, and resident expectations. He also explains why winners and losers will separate faster than most expect — and what operators should be preparing for now. You’ll learn: Where multifamily truly is on the centralization and specialization journeyHow REITs, third-party managers, and owner-operators are taking different paths based on incentives, contracts, and brand strategy.The real ROI of specialization: why the biggest gains are coming from back-office functions, not leasing “glamour metrics.”How centralized models change service levels, staffing ratios, and retention, including what operators consistently underestimate.AI’s next chapter: moving from chatbots to agentic workflows that perform tasks, not just answer questions.What resident interactions will look like when AI can renew leases, negotiate within guardrails, process payments, and sync context across systems.The coming shift in leadership development as old career ladders collide with new operating structures.To stay up-to-date follow Funnel on Linkedin and connect with Tyler there, too.
