Get an account, answer the few questions, and understand the setup card waiting for you.
Sign up at app.abodient.ai with your email and a password, or with Google or Microsoft.
Confirm the link we email you, and a short welcome takes you through adding your first property before you land on your dashboard.
On a computer, the welcome is a few short screens that say what Abodient does. You then type your property's address or postcode and press Add property. The last screen has a Go to dashboard button.
You cannot skip adding a property. The dashboard needs one to work from.
If you already have a property in your account, you do not see the welcome again. Opening the welcome address takes you straight to your dashboard.
Your dashboard opens with Alfred. Press Show me and he asks three quick questions: how you manage your properties, what you look after, and where your time goes. He then tours the app using an example property built to match your answers.
Press Skip and you get one example flat instead. Example properties have Example · at the start of their address, so you can tell them from your own.
They are there to show you what a full account looks like. Your dashboard counts, your Compliance page and your Inbox leave them out. Their rent and money figures do still show on the Finance page and the dashboard's Finance and Rent cards, so you can see the pages with real-looking numbers in them. The income figure in your weekly email leaves them out.
At the end of the tour Alfred asks for your documents. Drop in contracts and certificates, or press Choose files, and he reads them and shows you what he found before anything is saved. Press I’ll do this later to leave it.
Once the tour is over, a panel sits on the right-hand edge of the page while your setup is unfinished. It shows how far along you are as a percentage. Press the arrow to open it. Opened, it is called Full setup and lists the steps: your tenancy contract and tenant, property details, compliance certificates, financials, and operations and maintenance.
It shows only while you have exactly one property of your own, and only on a computer. You will see it on the Dashboard, Inbox, Properties, Compliance, Maintenance and Finance pages.
Press Close when you no longer want it. It is gone for good on that account. Your setup tasks stay in your Inbox, so you can pick up the rest from there.
A phone keeps the older setup card on the dashboard instead of the tour. It starts with your tenancy contract: press Start with my tenancy contract and drop the contract on, and Alfred pulls out the tenant, the rent and the dates. Fill in manually lets you type them instead. Your compliance certificates come next.
The card stays until the steps are done.
