nAIghborly is a tool that turns inefficient advertising spend into direct rent credits for local residents. Instead of paying Big Tech to reach customers who already live next door, enrolled merchants contribute a portion of the fees they used to pay on each transaction — and that fee flows back into the community as monthly rent relief, posted directly to landlord ledgers via Yardi and RealPage before the 1st of every month.
Housing affordability in coastal California is not a zoning problem alone — it is a cash-flow problem, and nAIghborly addresses it at the transaction layer. By converting the everyday spending habits of a neighborhood into a coordinated rent-reduction engine, we give residents a tangible financial stake in the local economy without asking anyone to change how they shop, pay, or live.

The pilot
nAIghborly launched in Silver Lake and Culver City in 2026 with a founding cohort of local merchants who want to do well and do good. Credits are currently clearing monthly to enrolled landlords across five zip codes — 90232, 90230, 90066, 90026, and 90039 — covering a combined population of over 215,000 residents.
