Let The Computers
Handle The Boring Stuff.
Hey, I'm David. We can have better business and lives with AI.
Is This You?
If you're in self-storage and you're wondering whether any of this AI stuff is actually worth your time, keep reading.
I build these systems professionally for CION Investments (NYSE: CION), through my day-job role at Astra Heed.
I find the places where AI can do the heavy lifting, then build the AI agents and workflows to multiply the efforts of one person.
// What AI Does For You
What Can AI Do For You?
These are real workflows running in businesses today. With AI, they just happen.
Speed to Lead
First response wins the unit.
When a prospect submits a form, calls, or texts, AI fires a personalized reply within 60 seconds, before they try the facility down the street. Most operators respond in hours. That gap is where deals die.

// Agents
Nine Agents, Already Running
These are agents that are built and running right now, some on this site, some inside a publicly traded investment firm. Different industries, same pattern: find the work a person is doing that a computer should be doing, and hand it over. And this only scratches the surface.
Dealflow Research Agent
Tracks on-market dealflow every night across 20+ sources, sorts by category, and adds to a database - all automatic.
Market, facility, and dealflow research in one pass
REIT Street Rate Pricing Tracker
Watches what the large operators charge and publishes it live. Built as a lead magnet, so the tracking work and the marketing asset are the same thing.
Always current, zero manual refresh
Marketing Performance Reporter
Joins performance data across campaigns, templates, and tracked links into one finished report. Nobody opens a spreadsheet.
Down from 90 minutes to 3 minutes a week
Deck Reconciliation Agent
Refreshes investor presentations from the underlying source models every month, then produces a full variance log of every data point that changed since the last versions, so reviewers and compliance can sign off on the exceptions.
Monthly deck refresh, every change logged for sign-off
ROI Calculator

Plug in your unit count, average rent, and occupancy - the calculator breaks down the dollar impact across six automation categories. Every number is built from verified 2026 industry benchmarks, not estimates.
