Why FMs Are Stuck
The Traditional FM Challenges
Data Overload
100+ data sources, fragmented systems, no unified view. FMs drown in noise instead of insight.
Vendor Lock-In
Trapped in expensive contracts with limited flexibility. Switching costs are prohibitive.
Reactive vs Proactive
Always fixing yesterday's problems. No predictive insight to prevent failures before they happen.

Robin Chien
Founder & Chief Consultant

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Each agent instance can maintain context for up to 10 building profiles. You can switch between buildings mid-session, and the agent will adjust domain-specific answers (HVAC specs, occupancy patterns, energy rates, etc.) per building. Volume discounts apply per account, not per building.
The agent will flag it as out-of-scope and suggest the closest domain match. We're continuously expanding domain coverage based on user feedback. Questions about emerging topics (e.g., water efficiency, seismic resilience) are routed to our expert review team for potential domain expansion. No charge for out-of-scope questions.
Completely. All data is end-to-end encrypted in transit and at rest. We never share, sell, or use your building data to train models. All conversations are purged after 90 days unless you explicitly archive them. You own your data. HIPAA and SOC 2 compliance in progress for Q2 2026.
Yes, via REST API and webhook connectors. We support Johnson Controls, Schneider Electric, Honeywell, and Tridium natively. Custom integrations available for enterprise accounts. Tier 2 subscribers get priority integration support. Most integrations take 2–4 weeks to configure end-to-end.
We stand behind our 97% accuracy gate with a simple guarantee: if any response leads to a measurable error or inefficiency, we refund the question cost and provide corrected guidance at no charge. Flag concerns via the /feedback endpoint or email support@ai-smart-buildings.com. All feedback is reviewed by our expert panel within 24 hours.
Sign up at /ask/, verify your email, and you'll receive 3 free questions to explore the system. No credit card required. After the free tier, choose Tier 1 ($5/q) or Tier 2 ($10/q) and start asking. Questions are billed monthly. Most FMs spend $100–$300/month depending on operational complexity.
