Poll: which job would you hand to an AI teammate first?

Question

I've been reading a lot of threads here about where the week goes, and the same handful of jobs keep coming up.

So I'm curious: if you could hand one of them to an AI teammate tomorrow, with you still making every final decision, which would it be?

On Friday I'll share the results here. Then I'll take the winning job and post a step-by-step breakdown of how an AI teammate would handle it, including the parts I'd never hand off.

If you vote, tell me in the comments which one eats the most hours in your week. The more real examples, the more useful the breakdown will be.

I'd hand first-pass deal screening to AI. I use Grok Bot a lot in my business, and it saves real time on the grunt work. The judgment call still has to be mine.

Hey everyone,

Thank you to everyone who stopped by this week. The poll itself only picked up one vote, but it had close to 200 views, and the conversations in other threads told me a lot more than the numbers would have.

@Lauren Cutchen, thank you again for sharing how you use AI for first-pass deal screening. It's a great example of handing over the grunt work while keeping the judgment call for yourself.

Across the Managing Your Property threads this week, the job that came up again and again was maintenance, and more specifically the vendors: finding good ones, testing them and having a backup when the first one doesn't answer. I covered the repair itself on Thursday, so as promised, here's the step-by-step for the vendor side: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/899/topics/1319245-how-do-you-find-vendors-who-actually-call-back

Have a great weekend,Lee

Hi @Lauren Cutchen,

Thanks for being the first to answer, and I think you've picked the perfect starting point. First-pass deal screening is mostly grunt work: pulling the numbers, checking them against your buy box and tossing the ones that obviously don't fit. It eats hours, and none of it needs your judgment until a deal actually passes.

The way I'd set it up is to write your buy box down as a few hard rules first, like price range, rent-to-price, rehab budget and the areas you'll buy in, then have the AI show you why each deal passed or failed. You get a short list, and you can see the reasoning before you spend a minute on any of them.

You're right that the final call stays with you. That's the part no tool should ever take over.

I'm also curious about Grok Bot. I've been interested in testing it, but the last time I looked it still felt like it was in its infancy as a model. Hearing that it's saving you real time makes me think maybe I should jump on and give it a try. How long have you been using it?

Thanks again,Lee
