For estate and letting agents

Use AI at your agency without sending tenants' details to it

AI makes light work of arrears letters, referencing reports and buyer emails. Saiela makes sure tenants' and buyers' names, addresses and bank details never reach the AI, and keeps the records to show it.

Built for UK agencies, including tenants' and buyers' details and HMRC money-laundering checks.

Where personal data slips into AI

It's in the letters and emails your team bashes out every day, and most of them carry a tenant's or buyer's details.

  • Letters to tenants and landlords

    An arrears letter or a renewal email carries the tenant's name, address and sometimes their bank details.

  • Referencing and ID checks

    Pasting a referencing report into a free AI tool to summarise it sends someone's employment, income and credit history with it.

  • Notes about a tenant's needs

    A note about a tenant's disability, made so their home can be adapted, is special category data.

Swap and restore

AI writes the letter. It never learns who it's for.

Saiela checks what you type into AI right there in the browser. Names and numbers are swapped out before anything is sent, then swapped back when the answer arrives, on your screen only.

What you type

Draft a rent arrears letter to Daniel Moore at 4 Mill Lane and ask him to call 07700 900456.

What the AI receives

Draft a rent arrears letter to [PERSON_1] at [ADDRESS_1] and ask him to call [PHONE_1].

Made-up example. These aren't real people.

  • An AI policy, shared with your team and signed by everyone
  • Staff AI lessons with examples from your own kind of work

Questions

What estate agents ask about using AI safely.

Can estate agents use ChatGPT to write property descriptions?

Yes, go for it. A listing rarely needs personal data. The risk is in letters, referencing and anything with a tenant's, landlord's or buyer's details. That's what Saiela catches.

How do we find out which AI tools our team is using?

Saiela shows you every AI tool used in the browser across your agency, including personal accounts and new tools as they appear. You choose which are approved for client work, which are allowed for work with no personal data, and which are blocked.

Is there an estate agency pack?

Saiela's UK detection covers what agencies handle most: names, street addresses, postcodes, phone numbers, bank details, National Insurance and driving licence numbers. On Team you can add your own lists, such as landlord names and property references.

Do we need a DPIA to use AI?

Usually. The Information Commission (ICO) says that in the vast majority of cases, using AI involves processing likely to result in a high risk, which calls for a DPIA. Saiela's Team plan drafts one from how your agency actually uses AI.

How much does it cost for a whole agency?
