How a $1 billion property developer got its whole office using AI in 7 weeks
Cadence Property Group develops and invests in Australian property, with a $1 billion development pipeline and a team of 36.
Before
Five people were using AI when we started. The executive assistants were sorting the partners' inboxes by hand, and presentations were pulled together from scratch each time.
“We're in the property sector. You know, we're not software engineers. We're not able to have our minds in this space 100%. So we decided that we needed to lean on a third party, a specialist in AI.”
What we built
We built the foundations, then taught the team to build on top of them.
- Step 1
A company AI brain that knows Cadence's projects, templates and history.
- Step 2
Email sorting and first drafts in the assistants' inboxes. It drafts, a person sends.
- Step 3
A shared library of skills anyone in the office can use.
- Step 4
Training for the whole team and office hours every fortnight.
- Result
½ the time · To put together a client presentation
After
Seven weeks after kickoff the whole office was using it, and staff with no coding background started building their own tools. "AI has really, really cut in half at least the time it takes to put together a suitable presentation." One assistant called the email drafting "revolutionary".
