Birdie

Four roles in real estate — investors, agents, wholesalers, and private lenders — each with their own workbench, sharing one platform spine.

4 roles one platform

The problem

Real estate deals touch multiple roles — but each role uses different tools, different data formats, and different communication channels. An investor runs numbers in a spreadsheet. An agent manages listings in the MLS. A wholesaler tracks leads in a CRM. A lender underwrites in yet another system. Nobody shares a source of truth. Deals stall because information lives in silos.

What we built

Platform spine

Shared data layer for properties, deals, contacts, and documents. Every role sees the same facts.

Agent workbench

Lender workbench

Architecture

Birdie is UWC's first multi_workbench_platform project — a subtype reserved for platforms that host multiple role-specific workbenches on a shared system-of-record spine. Each workbench qualifies individually as an AI Workbench (ingest pipeline, extraction with confidence scoring, weighted scoring engine, per-tenant cost guard, human-gated outreach). The platform layer handles cross-role coordination: deal stages, document sharing, and a marketplace for connecting investors with lenders.

The outcome

Birdie completed all 9 milestones (M1 architecture through M8 marketing site) as a single monorepo with a Django backend and Astro marketing frontend. The platform currently serves four distinct roles from one codebase — each workbench feels purpose-built for its user, but all four share the same property records, deal pipeline, and document store.

“The insight wasn't 'build a better CRM.' It was 'there are four roles in every deal, and none of them see the same data.' The platform spine makes the deal visible to everyone who needs to act on it.”
