Merlo AI: AI employees running a real industry, every day

We built Merlo AI for strata and body corporate management, one of the most admin-heavy industries in Australia. Its AI employees handle the inbox, insurance renewals, compliance, AGMs and Teams assistance, supporting more than 300,000 strata lots across Australia.

The flagship is a maintenance work-order agent. It reads every work order, note and maintenance record, then acts like a coordinator who never forgets: following up open orders, chasing subcontractors for quotes, asking for invoices and requesting status updates.

The same pattern works anywhere someone spends their day chasing, following up and collecting information.

What Merlo’s AI employees own

Case study: maintenance work orders

Before and after the work-order agent

Before

  1. Coordinator reads every work order and email by hand
  2. Follow-ups depend on memory and sticky notes
  3. Quotes and invoices chased when someone notices
  4. Jobs go stale; owners ask for updates

After

  1. Agent reads every work order, note and record
  2. Open orders followed up on schedule
  3. Quotes, invoices and status requested automatically
  4. Only the jobs that need judgement reach a person

Our own lead follow-up agent

Before we sell a pattern, we run it on ourselves. We’re putting our own sales pipeline in the hands of an AI employee that follows the same rules we recommend to clients.

  • First follow-up within 1 hour of a new lead
  • Chases non-responders on day 2, 5 and 9
  • Books meetings when a lead replies
  • Flags hot leads; pricing and contracts are human only

Numbers will be published here as the pilot runs.
