The story
Founded 2017 as MeetElise, a conversational AI leasing assistant for multifamily property managers. Expanded into healthcare in 2023 to bring the same agentic AI communication layer to patient scheduling and billing. The 2024 launch of billing/payments and delinquency products in housing plus patient billing collections in healthcare marks the company's push toward embedded financial workflows — collecting rent balances and patient co-pays through conversational AI — though EliseAI still positions itself as an AI communications platform rather than a fintech.
