SayWhat is an AI document Q&A platform for HOAs, condominiums, co-ops, townhouse communities, and property management companies. After users upload PDFs or Word files such as CC&Rs, bylaws, rules, ARC guidelines, and meeting minutes, the system automatically parses, chunks, and indexes them. Homeowners can then ask questions in natural language and receive answers with citations to the document name, section, and page number.
The product emphasizes that “answers come from your documents, not the internet.” Every non-trivial answer is expected to include citations, and if the documents do not provide support, it should clearly say it does not know. This is important in the context of governance documents. It also offers four visibility levels—public, private, board-only, and archived—along with role-based permissions, audit logs, conversation history, usage analytics, and rule/restriction extraction in the Plus plan. The limitation is that the website does not disclose the underlying model, retrieval benchmarks, or accuracy metrics. Its Terms of Service also state that AI outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, or may misinterpret materials, so important decisions still require checking the original documents or consulting an attorney.
SayWhat uses a subscription model. The free trial lasts 30 days and includes 5 documents, 1 admin, and a public chat widget. Basic is $79/month, Plus is $129/month, and Pro is $199/month, with 20% off annual billing. A credit card is required for the paid trial; payments are processed by Stripe, and no charge is made before the trial ends. For small HOAs, the pricing is not especially low, but if it can significantly reduce repetitive emails to the board or property manager, the ROI is relatively clear.
Its strengths are a clear focus on a vertical use case, a simple setup process, traceable answers, a fairly complete permission system, and an emphasis on tenant isolation, encryption at rest, HTTPS, and not using community documents to train models. Its drawbacks are the lack of API, SSO, SLA, and model-detail disclosures; SOC 2 is still in progress; support for a Chinese interface and Chinese-language documents is not mentioned; and outputs involving legal issues should not be relied on as the final authority.
It is best suited to U.S. HOA volunteer boards, property management companies, and communities that need to turn large volumes of governance documents into a self-service Q&A portal. It is less suitable for general-purpose enterprise knowledge bases or scenarios requiring in-depth legal review. Its accessibility from mainland China is not disclosed. Payments rely on credit cards and Stripe, which may create convenience issues. If looking for alternatives in China, general document Q&A or knowledge base tools such as NotebookLM, ChatGPT/Claude file Q&A, Glean, Guru, or the open-source Onyx could be considered, but permissions and compliance workflows would need to be built independently.
