This is Clara. She's read every Portuguese document your building ever produced — so you don't have to.
Sound familiar?
Three stories we keep hearing from owners across Portugal
The €1,200 letter
An owner learned about renovation works from the bill — approved at an assembly he couldn't attend. With Clara, every decision appears on your timeline the day it's documented, and you can ask exactly what was approved, for how much, and by whom.
€75 an hour to listen
Absentee owners pay property managers €250 a month — or €75 an hour — for someone to sit in the assembly and email a summary. Clara reads the minutes and answers your questions about them, any hour of any day, for a fraction of that.
Google-translating the minutes, paragraph by paragraph
Assembly minutes are legal Portuguese. Owners forward them to lawyers, translators, or one patient bilingual friend. Ask Clara in English instead — she reads the Portuguese original and cites the exact passage her answer came from.
What staying informed costs owners today
The going rates for understanding your own building
| How owners cope today | What it costs | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Bilingual property manager | from €250 / month | Attends the assembly, emails a summary within 48 hours |
| Hourly meeting representation | ~€75 / hour | One meeting, one summary |
| Lawyer or certified translator | per document | One translated ata, days later |
| A patient bilingual friend | goodwill (finite) | Whatever they remember |
| Clara — personal plan | A fraction of any of the above | Every document, every decision, any question, any hour — with sources |
You have a life outside your building
Clara makes sure you don't miss what matters inside it.
The truth: owning an apartment in Portugal from abroad means a steady stream of Portuguese emails, minutes and budget PDFs. That budget vote? The new garage rules? Lost in your inbox — in a language you only half read, arriving while you're in another timezone.
Enter Clara: she reads every email, every assembly minute, every budget PDF — in English and Portuguese — and answers your question in whichever language you ask it. No guilt. No searching. Just answers, with the source attached.
Built for real condominium owners
Not property management professionals.

Ask in English or Portuguese; Clara answers in kind — whatever language the documents were in.
Ask anything, anytime

Your building's memory
Why did quotas rise? What did the 2023 assembly decide? Was that works contract ever approved? Clara remembers what administrators forget.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about ClaraHaus
How does Clara learn about my building?
Clara reads everything so you don't have to: your building's email archives, meeting minutes, budgets and PDFs — in English, Portuguese, or a mix of both. Then she turns that mountain of paper into instant answers, each one citing the document it came from.
I can't attend the assemblies — how does Clara help?
Clara can't vote for you — but she makes absence far less costly. Every decision from the minutes lands on your building's timeline with its date, amount and source; you can ask exactly what was approved and what it means for your quota; and when you sign in, Clara shows what changed since your last visit. You'll know what the assembly decided the day the minutes arrive — not when the bill does.
Does Clara work in Portuguese?
Yes — natively. Clara reads documents in both languages and answers in whichever language you ask. Ask in Portuguese, get Portuguese; ask in English about a Portuguese document, get English. International owners and local residents share one assistant.
Is my building's data secure?
Your data is kept safe and private. Each building's information is fully separated — one community can never see another's. Only verified residents can access their building's info, and we encrypt your data to keep it protected.
What if Clara doesn't know the answer to my question?
Clara won't make things up — if the information isn't in your building's documents, she says so plainly and tells you which document would contain it. And because every answer cites its source, you can always check her work. That beats confident guesses from a well-meaning neighbour.
Can Clara replace our property management software?
Clara's not here to run your building — she's here to help everyone understand it. Your administrator's systems handle the business; Clara handles the "what's our pool policy again?" at 11 PM on a Saturday. They're better together.
How quickly is Clara updated with new information?
Faster than building gossip spreads. When your administrator sends an email or a new document arrives, Clara learns it within minutes. You'll have the latest information before your neighbour can knock on your door to tell you about it.
Do I need my building's approval to use Clara?
No. The personal plan is yours alone: you forward the building emails you already receive, and Clara answers to you privately — no assembly vote, no administrator involvement. If the whole building later wants in, the building plan covers every resident for one price, with no per-user fees.
Can we try Clara before committing?
Absolutely! See Clara in action right now at app.clarahaus.ai/demo — no signup needed. Want to see her work with your actual building data? Let's talk. The "aha" moment of watching Clara answer a question about your building is worth it.
