Ep 86 | Tools For Crossing the AI Chasm: What We Need To Go From "Meh" to "Wow" w/ Arturo Ache & Bruno Wesley

Why do so many new AI features feel... "meh"?

We're deep into the AI revolution, yet that initial "wow" is often replaced by underwhelming rollouts. We’ve been sold on "vision," but what we're getting often feels like "curiosity." The truth is, the industry is stuck in the "chasm" between visionary tech and the pragmatic, "pain-driven" results property managers actually need.

In this episode, Vendoroo's Chief Evangelist, Pablo Gonzalez, sits down with Arturo Ache and Bruno Wesley of DoorLoop to unpack how to bridge that gap.

As leaders at a modern "challenger platform," they share a rare, ground-level perspective on what truly makes a property manager sit back, sigh with relief, and say, "That's what I need."

You'll learn:

🤖 Why 70-80% of manual data entry (and 30-40% of maintenance requests) can be automated today (The "Wow" Moment)
💥 Why legacy platforms are struggling with the "Innovator's Dilemma" and can't adapt ( PropTech's "Apple vs. BlackBerry" Moment)
🤝  The strategic shift from a "build-it-all" model to an open "marketplace of options" that delivers a complete solution.
🧠 How to move past AI "curiosity" and find tangible, "pain-driven" solutions for your team.

This is the playbook for crossing the AI chasm.

🎧 Listen now to move from "meh" to "wow" and discover what AI-native really means.
