About this episode

Self-managing a short-term rental sounds like freedom, until the three a.m. jacuzzi message hits. Akshay Bajaj built AI systems for self-driving cars before turning that thinking toward his own rental portfolio. He walks through why most property tech is just glorified auto-replies, and how his platform actually knows when to hand a decision back to a human. His take on where short-term rentals are headed: the winners won't be the ones automating everything. They'll be the ones using structure to free up time for what's actually high-touch and human.
