The AI That Answers Residents
Not Just Managers
TownSq has AI that helps managers draft responses. Vinteum and PayHOA have no AI at all. HeyNeighbor has Howdy - an AI that answers residents directly, citing the exact section of your CC&Rs.
What Actually Makes HeyNeighbor Different
Every HOA platform stores documents. Only one reads them, understands them, and answers resident questions with citations to the exact section.
AI That Answers Residents
TownSq has AI that helps managers type faster. HeyNeighbor has Howdy - an AI that answers residents directly at 11pm on a Saturday, citing the exact section of your CC&Rs.
TownSq AI drafts replies for managers. Howdy answers residents directly.
Free Document Audit
Upload your CC&Rs, bylaws, and rules. Get a health score (0-100) plus findings: conflicts between documents, state compliance gaps, ambiguous language, outdated terms.
No competitor offers document analysis - just storage.
Answers With Citations
When Howdy answers "Can I paint my door red?", it shows exactly where in your CC&Rs that rule is - Section 4.2, page 12. Residents trust answers they can verify.
Other chatbots give generic answers. Howdy cites your actual documents.
TownSq has 3M+ users and a strong mobile app. Vinteum has solid electronic voting. PayHOA does accounting well. We're not here to trash them - we're here to show you what resident-facing AI looks like.

Vinteum
All-in-one HOA management platform
Vinteum's Neigbrs platform is a solid choice for comprehensive HOA management. They offer strong electronic voting, good Florida compliance features, and reliable communication tools. But when a resident has a question at 10pm on a Saturday? They're waiting until Monday.
