## Common complaints about Hemlane

- **Landlord software, or a local PM**: Hemlane is landlord software, and it can introduce you to a local property manager. That is a different job from an AI Property Manager.
- **Designed for humans to operate**: These kinds of tools are designed to be used by people. You're paying for the software, and then you still have to manage it or hire someone to manage it, fundamentally.
