About This Episode

Voice is the next frontier of AI, and Lindsay Liu, co-founder and CEO of Super, will be the first to tell you it's also the hardest problem to solve. In this episode of Beyond Rent, Lindsay breaks down why voice AI is so much more complex than chat-based interfaces, and what it actually takes to build a system property managers can rely on.
The conversation covers where AI is already delivering real results today, including structured data synthesis and multi-agent orchestration for call routing, and where voice specifically still runs into trouble: latency, turn detection, background noise, accents, and juggling multiple languages in real time. Lindsay also walks through the tradeoffs between speech-to-speech models and a deconstructed pipeline approach, and why quality assurance for voice looks nothing like testing a chatbot.
They close with practical advice for property management teams evaluating voice AI: start with the job to be done, not the technology, and look for easy wins like after-hours coverage, missed calls, and collections outreach before tackling anything more complex.
