Your AI Team
How Your AI Team Works
Doughy doesn't use a single chatbot. It uses one AI assistant today, with specialist agents on the way, each for a specific domain of real estate investing and property management.
How It Works
When you give Doughy a task — by asking Doe, or in a message thread — the AI assistant takes it on. Specialist agents are on the way.
For example, today your assistant handles all of these:
•"What is missing from this tenant application?"
•"Which rents are still outstanding this month?"
•"Run the numbers on 456 Oak Street"
•"Draft a newsletter for my buyer list" → drafted for your approval
Coming soon: the Leasing, Bookkeeping and Acquisitions agents, each taking its own kind of request.
What Runs, and What Waits
There is one rule, it is the same for every account, and there is nothing to configure:
•Anything that leaves your workspace waits for you — a message to a tenant, an email to a lead, a call, a public listing, anything that spends money, anything that can't be undone. The one exception: inquiry replies, once you grant your assistant a lead-reply lease (a 30-day, answer-only permission you can end whenever you like)
•Everything else runs immediately — reading what came in, drafting the reply, triaging an urgent repair, updating a record, keeping your brief current
Your agents do the preparing; you do the sending. See safety controls for the full picture, including the kill switch and your daily budgets.
The Approval Flow
When an agent prepares something that needs your sign-off:
1.The item appears in your approvals queue
2.You see exactly what the agent wants to do, with full context
3.You select Approve, Reject, or Snooze — and the approval holds until you decide; no timer decides for you
4.AI message drafts have their own controls — Send, Edit, or Dismiss
One asymmetry worth knowing: message drafts expire if they go stale, so an old reply never sends late — but a held approval waits as long as it takes. No surprises in either direction.
What Agents Can Do
Your AI team can:
•Read and analyze — pull your data and run the calculations
•Draft content — write emails, texts, social posts, blog articles, reports
•Schedule — draft showing times and reminders for your OK
•Communicate — send the emails you approve. Texting and calling are coming soon
•Process — track rent, update records
What they cannot do:
•Access other users' workspaces
•Spend money without your approval
•Send anything outside your workspace without your approval, unless you grant your assistant a lead-reply lease
•Act after you've hit the kill switch
Real-World Example
Say you receive an email from a seller: "I'm interested in selling my property at 742 Evergreen Terrace." Here's what happens:
1.The message arrives in your inbox and is tagged to the contact
2.Your assistant lays out the deal file for 742 Evergreen Terrace from the records and comps you keep in Doughy
3.It drafts a deal summary: estimated ARV $285k from your comps, probable rehab $40k, max offer $165k under the 70% rule you set
4.It also drafts a reply: "Hi [Name], thanks for reaching out! I'd love to learn more about your property. Are you available for a quick call this week?"
5.The reply lands in your drafts, the deal summary in your review list. You send the reply, read the summary, and decide whether to pursue
All of this happens in under a minute. Without Doughy, you'd spend 30+ minutes lining up comps and crafting a response.
AI usage
Every agent action uses some of your plan's monthly AI usage. Simple actions (reading data, drafting text) use very little. Complex actions (web research, document analysis, phone calls) use more.
Agents pause automatically when the month's usage is used up, so you're never caught off guard. A full cost dashboard with per-agent breakdowns arrives with the AI console, coming soon.
