AppFolio (NASDAQ: APPF) provides software that helps property managers run their businesses. At its September 29, 2026, FUTURE conference, the company announced updates to its Realm-X and Performance Platform. These property management tools aim to help property operators manage work for their teams, residents, and investors.

The expanded Realm-X platform can complete multi-step tasks, retain business context, and build custom workflows and dashboards from a prompt. AppFolio states that these real estate technology tools utilize customer permissions, policies, and workflows already integrated into its platform. The new features are available across all plans.
