How to Use Fyxt Assist, your AI-Powered Chatbot

Managing commercial real estate involves juggling countless details—leases, tenant records, financials, and maintenance schedules. Digging through menus or generating reports to find answers can be time-consuming and frustrating. That’s where an AI-powered chatbot in your commercial real estate management software comes in. This intuitive tool, driven by a large language model (LLM), lets you ask questions in plain English and get accurate responses based on your data. Whether you’re a property manager checking occupancy rates or an owner reviewing expenses, Fyxt Assist saves time, reduces errors, and helps you make informed decisions faster.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to access and use Fyxt Assist effectively, with practical examples and tips to get the most out of its features. No technical expertise is required—just a desire to streamline your workflow. Let’s dive in!

Getting Started

Accessing Fyxt Assist is straightforward, and it’s seamlessly integrated into your commercial real estate management software. Follow these steps to get started:

Log in to the software: Open your commercial real estate management platform using your usual credentials. Ensure you have the necessary permissions to access data relevant to your queries.
Locate Fyxt Assist: Look for the chat icon, found in the lower-right corner of the dashboard.
Open the chat window: Click the icon to launch Fyxt Assist. A small window will pop up, ready for you to type your question.
Start asking: Type your question in plain language, just as you would ask a colleague. For example, “What’s the vacancy rate for Oak Plaza?” or “Show me maintenance requests for June.”

If you don’t see the chat icon, check with your system administrator to confirm that Fyxt Assist is enabled for your account.

Asking Questions

Fyxt Assist’s strength lies in its ability to understand natural language, so you don’t need to learn special commands or formats. Simply ask questions as you would in a conversation, and the chatbot will query the software’s database to provide real-time answers. While Fyxt Assist can interpret a wide range of phrasing, using precise language—especially field names as they appear in Fyxt—delivers the most accurate results.

Here are some real-world examples of questions you can ask, tailored to common commercial real estate tasks:

Property status: “What’s the occupancy rate for Building A this month?”
Lease details: “When does the lease for Suite 204 in Riverfront Towers expire?”
Maintenance tracking: “Are there any open maintenance requests for the HVAC system in Parkview Plaza?”
Tenant information: “Who is the primary contact for the tenant in Unit 12B?”
Portfolio overview: “Give me a summary of vacancies across all my properties.”

Fyxt Assist pulls data directly from your software’s database, so responses are based on the most up-to-date information available. If you’re unsure how to phrase a question, start with something simple and refine it based on the chatbot’s response. For example, if “Show me tenant info” feels too vague, try “List all tenants in Building C with active leases.”

Advanced Tips

To maximize Fyxt Assist’s potential, consider these best practices and strategies for handling more complex queries or unexpected situations:

Be specific when needed: While Fyxt Assist handles broad questions well, adding details can improve accuracy. For instance, instead of “Show me maintenance issues,” try “List maintenance requests for elevators in Westside Center from the past 30 days.”
Break down complex requests: If you have a multi-part question, ask it in smaller pieces. For example, instead of “Tell me about vacancies and expenses for all properties,” ask “What are the vacancy rates for my properties?” followed by “What are the total expenses for each property this year?”
Understand limitations: Fyxt Assist can only provide information based on the data available in your software. If you ask about data that hasn’t been entered (e.g., “What’s the occupancy for a new property?” when the property isn’t in the system), the chatbot will let you know the data is missing.
Handle ambiguous queries: If Fyxt Assist misinterprets your question, rephrase it with more context. For example, if “Show me expenses” returns too broad a result, try “Show me approved invoices for Maple Grove in 2025.”
Troubleshooting issues:
- Unexpected results: Double-check your question for clarity. If the chatbot provides irrelevant data, refine your query with specific terms or dates.
- Slow response: If the chatbot is slow, it may be processing a large dataset. Try narrowing your query (e.g., specify a single property or time period).

Experiment with different question formats to discover what works best for your needs.

Privacy and Security

Your data’s security is a top priority. Fyxt Assist operates within the software’s secure environment, ensuring that all queries and responses remain confidential. It does not store conversations independently or share data outside the platform. Additionally, the chatbot is read-only—it can retrieve and summarize data but cannot modify records, so there’s no risk of accidental changes to your database. You can use the chatbot with confidence, knowing your sensitive real estate information is protected.

By leveraging its natural language capabilities, you can quickly access critical data—such as occupancy rates, lease details, or financial summaries—without navigating complex menus or generating reports. This saves time, reduces the chance of errors, and empowers you to make data-driven decisions with ease.
