Everyone Wants to Use AI. So, Where Do Coworking Operators Start?

Everyone’s talking about AI.

I bet your feeds and inboxes are full of promises about agents, copilots, assistants and automation.

But the conversations we have with operators usually sound more like: “We don’t know where to start.”

If you’re keen to get started or already building agents for coworking operations, we’ve just made everything a lot easier for you.

Anyone can use everyday AI with Nexudus

Many of our users don’t want to learn APIs, write code or spend weeks building workflows. What they need is easy access to AI tools.

We wanted to make AI useful without adding another tool to learn. So we built a way for operators to connect everyday AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude and Copilot directly to Nexudus, using natural language to find information and complete tasks.

You might want to ask:

• Which members haven’t visited in 30 days?
• Show me tomorrow’s bookings.
• Compare occupancy across locations.
• Which invoices need attention?

Right now, we have two different ways for operators to work with AI, depending on how technical they want to be. Non-technical users connect their preferred AI tool directly to Nexudus through our new MCP server.

We know some of you are already building AI-powered workflows and agents around Nexudus. We’re seeing more of it every month in the platform, so we’re investing time to build pathways for that.

For teams building AI workflows

For those with in-house developers, technical partners or a desire to experiment, the Nexudus CLI opens up more possibilities.

The CLI gives AI agents and automation tools a structured way to interact with Nexudus. Teams can build custom workflows, automate operational tasks, generate reports and connect Nexudus to a growing ecosystem of AI tools.

Imagine asking AI to:

• Identify members who may be at risk of leaving
• Draft renewal emails for review
• Summarise support tickets from the last quarter
• Generate occupancy reports for your management team
• Create follow-up tasks for community managers

We’re also building structured instructions and workflows that help AI systems understand how Nexudus works, what actions are available and how to complete tasks reliably.

Giving your agents the right level of access

One of the challenges with AI agents is that they need access to operational systems and data to be useful.

The challenge is giving them enough access to do useful work without exposing personal data unnecessarily. That’s why the Nexudus CLI treats humans and AI agents differently.

In the Nexudus CLI, agents don’t automatically receive the same view of data as a human operator.

When the CLI detects it’s being used by an AI agent or automation, personal information is automatically replaced with tokens before it’s returned.

When a person is working directly in a terminal, they see the information they’re authorised to access. If someone needs access to personal data, the CLI includes a temporary unlock process that requires human confirmation through the Nexudus admin interface.

The unlock expires automatically and can’t be completed by an AI agent operating through the CLI alone.

Agents still do the useful work: identify overdue invoices, flag churn risks, analyse occupancy trends and help automate operational tasks. They just don’t automatically have access to member names, email addresses or phone numbers to do it.

The future of coworking operations

We don’t think the future is a coworking space run entirely by AI because the human side of this industry matters too much for that.

What is changing is the amount of time operators spend hunting for information, creating reports, moving data between systems and completing repetitive administrative tasks.

We see AI as another way to interact with software. Just as mobile apps changed how people accessed information, AI will change how people get work done.

Right now, the operators benefiting most aren’t necessarily the ones with the most advanced AI strategy. They’re the ones starting small, solving real problems and building confidence over time.

If you’re wondering where to start with AI in your coworking business, pick one repetitive task.

Let AI help.

Then take it from there.
