Your agency’s morning admin, ready before 9.
Bud reads the inbox and reports your agency approves, then drafts the replies, reminders and owner updates. Nothing goes out until someone in your office signs.

Bud prepares it. You decide.
Every job moves through the same five states, and Bud shows you which one it is in. This is the Bud from the desktop app.
Start with one office job.
Tell Bud what you need prepared and which sources it may use.

Built first for Auston Realty.
RealBud is one desk for the whole office. A workflow pack adds an office’s own sources, rules and views on top of the same core. Auston Realty’s property management is the first pack, not the product. These three jobs run under supervision. Automatic bank collection and import receipts from REI Cloud are not finished, and we say so rather than showing a mock-up.
- Morning prioritiesA scan of the approved mailbox around 08:00 ranks today’s work and the replies still outstanding. Your edits survive the next scan.
- Bills on the calendarConfirmed bill patterns become calendar entries, with an expected arrival and a verified due date shown as different things.
- Bank referencesThe bank export is kept as received. Bud corrects references against reviewed mappings, holds the rows it cannot match and prepares the file for review.
The controls stay with you.
An assistant is only useful if you can see the plan, question the result and stop the job.
- Needs your signature
Approval before anything consequential
Bud prepares and asks. Sending, paying, signing and serving notice are never automatic, in any workflow.
- Evidence attached
A record with the evidence
Each work item keeps its source, the proposed action and the decision a person made. A correction is visible, not a silent overwrite.
- Private
A workspace that stays private
Your private work is yours. Joining an office, changing department or leaving does not publish it to the rest of the office.
- Yours to revoke
Accounts you connect and revoke
The mailbox, bank and business accounts are yours. You connect them, and connecting one is not permission to act in it.
From first call to Bud’s first report.
We are opening supervised paid pilots for work that repeats.
- Tell us one jobThe recurring work, where its source lives and what a good result looks like.
- We agree the pilot in writingScope, support, duration, the fixed fee and the measure of success, before you pay.
- We install it with youOn the office computer. You choose which sources Bud may read.
- We watch the first runs togetherYou sign or hold each item, and we agree what counts as working.
What is true right now
- Mac is signed; Windows is not yetThe Apple Silicon Mac app is signed and notarized. The Windows installer is unsigned, so Windows warns before the first open.
- AI runs through the RealBud serviceYou never paste a provider key. Requests and the running cost are visible in your account.
- Not proved yetInstallation on Windows, live source accounts and import receipts from a property system are still open. A demo is not a result.
Enquiring does not start a subscription or commit you to a pilot.
A few things to know before a pilot.
What is RealBud?
RealBud is a desktop app for Australian real estate agencies, starting with property management. Its worker, Bud, prepares recurring admin such as arrears follow-ups, owner updates and inbox replies from the reports and mailbox your office approves. Anything consequential waits for a person in your office to approve it.
What can RealBud take on?
Work that repeats and has a source you can point at: a report, an export, an approved mailbox. Describe the inputs, the rules you apply and the result you expect. We confirm the workflow is supported before we agree a pilot.
Can the whole office use it?
Yes. A person can start alone on one computer and join an office later without handing over the work they already did. The owner sets departments and membership, and every read and change is checked on the server. Private work and private connections stay private when someone joins or leaves a department.
Does it replace the systems we already use?
No. RealBud works beside them. Your property, accounting or CRM system stays the source of truth for its own records. RealBud prepares the work and hands the result back to you.
Will Bud send messages or change records by itself?
No. Anything consequential needs your approval on screen. Sending, paying, signing and serving notice are never automatic. Missing information, uncertain results and broken connections are shown rather than guessed.
What does a pilot cost?
A fixed fee, agreed after a short review of your workflow. Scope, support, duration and the measure of success are written down before you pay. AI usage is billed to your account and visible there. Sending this enquiry takes no payment.
Where does RealBud run?
On the office computer: Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), or a Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or later). The Mac download is signed and notarized. The Windows installer is unsigned and may show a publisher warning. The computer needs to be awake for scheduled work; a run that is missed or incomplete says so.
What happens to our information?
You agree which sources Bud may read. AI runs through the RealBud service, so the text a job needs leaves the machine to reach the model, and the usage appears in your account. Connected accounts stay yours and can be revoked. Please keep tenant details, passwords and documents out of this website enquiry.
Which job would you hand to Bud?
Tell us one job your office repeats every week. We check it fits, then get in touch to talk through a pilot.
No tenant details or documents needed. Your work contact and the job you have in mind is enough.
