WHO WE ARE

We're on a mission
to simplify how properties run

Property runs on people, doing important work, buried under admin that never lets up.
We started LightWork AI because we believed that had to change.

what drives us

We want to give every lettings and estate agency team, tech-savvy or not, the tools to work smarter, move faster, and focus on the work that actually matters. Not with another tool or dashboard that logs the problem and leaves your team to fix it. We built Felicity to actually do the work, so your team can focus on the decisions that grow your business.

THE LIGHTWORK WAY

Built for property, not for demos

Every feature ships against real property agent workflows, not a pitch deck.

Shaped by the people who use it

We sit in on calls, read the tickets, and build what your team actually asks for.

Measured by outcomes, not activity

Felicity doesn't just send notifications. She gets the job done.

The team behind LightWork AI.
