Why we built PG and hostel management inside WhatsApp

Ask any PG owner in India how they collect rent and the answer is almost always the same: WhatsApp messages, UPI screenshots and a notebook.

Instead of asking owners and tenants to install yet another app, StayOS works where they already are.

What it does

  • Rent: UPI rent reminders with an automatic ledger, plus GST rent receipts.
  • Onboarding: 2-minute Aadhaar KYC, lease e-sign and police verification forms.
  • Operations: bed occupancy across properties, visitor QR passes and electricity split billing.
  • Support: a 24/7 multilingual AI warden that answers tenant questions.

Tenants don't install anything. Pricing is a flat monthly fee with zero per-bed commission, and there's a 14-day free trial with no card.

There's also a free marketplace where PG suppliers and vendors can list themselves.

If you run or build for PGs, hostels or coliving spaces, I'd love feedback: https://stayos.autobot360.com/
