What is Fami? The AI-powered platform for managing gated communities and condominiums

Fami is a management platform for gated neighborhoods (fraccionamientos), condominiums and private streets in Mexico. It brings together maintenance-fee collection, QR visitor control, incident reports, amenity bookings, announcements and communication with residents in one place. It also includes an AI assistant that answers questions about your own community's data.

Fami has two parts:

  • A web dashboard for the administrator and the board.
  • A free mobile app for iOS and Android, for residents and security guards.

The problem: running a community on spreadsheets, logbooks and WhatsApp groups

In many communities, administration is spread across tools that do not talk to each other:

  • Fees live in a spreadsheet that only one person understands.
  • Payment receipts arrive by WhatsApp, email or on paper, and someone types them in by hand.
  • The gatehouse logs visitors in a paper notebook.
  • Important notices get lost among hundreds of messages in the neighbors' group chat.
  • Complaints and reports are forgotten because nobody follows up.

The result: arrears nobody can measure, neighbors who do not trust the accounts, and an exhausted board.

How Fami solves each problem

An administrator uses the Fami dashboard and its AI assistant while a resident shows a QR code to the guard at the gate

Clear fees and payments

Fami generates each home's monthly fees and shows a 12-month grid of what is paid, pending and overdue. Residents pay by bank transfer, upload their receipt in the app, and the administrator approves or rejects it. Each resident sees their own balance, and the board can export the records to CSV.

QR visitor passes

A resident creates a time-limited QR pass for a guest, on foot or by car. The guard scans it at the gate and the entry is logged. If someone arrives without a pass, the guard sends a request to the resident's app for approval.

Incidents that get followed up

Leaks, noise, parking or security: the resident files a report with a photo and a category, and the administrator updates its status until it is solved. Nothing gets lost in the chat.

Amenities without conflicts

The pool, gym or event hall is booked from the app, with set hours and capacity.

Communication that actually arrives

Announcements with three priority levels and read tracking, surveys with live results, documents organized by category (rules, meeting minutes, contracts) and emails to specific groups: everyone, owners, residents or security.

Fami's artificial intelligence

Fami uses AI models from Anthropic (Claude) and OpenAI for two concrete jobs:

  1. An assistant for the administrator. Ask in plain language, for example "what is our collection rate this month?" or "which homes in block C are behind on payments?". The assistant answers with your community's data: payments, balances, visitors, incidents, announcements and more.
  2. Receipt reading. Upload a photo or PDF of a payment receipt and the AI extracts the amount, date and concept, so nobody has to type them in.

The AI tools are for administrators, and each community controls its own monthly AI budget.

Website services

Beyond the platform, the Fami team offers website services so your community can have its own presence online. Contact us for details.

Who Fami is for

  • Gated neighborhoods with a security gatehouse.
  • Horizontal and vertical condominiums.
  • Private streets and residential areas run by a board or a professional administrator.
  • Management companies with several communities: one login handles several neighborhoods, with each one's data kept separate.

Made in Mexico, for Mexico

Prices in Mexican pesos, support in Spanish, and the platform available in Spanish, English and French. The Fami team sets up your community, imports your residents and trains your board. See every feature or check the pricing.

Looking for an alternative to Vivook, CondoVive or Neivor?

If your community already uses another platform and wants artificial intelligence, a simpler app for residents and Spanish-language support from Mexico, Fami is the alternative we recommend. Read our guide to the best alternatives to Vivook, CondoVive and Neivor and the full comparison.
