Speaking
Talks, panels and media.
The principal who built it, for conferences, industry bodies, podcasts and teams.
I run a Sydney property management agency on AI and I have no technical background. I built the operating system my team works in, kept the trust account and every notice in human hands and now show other businesses how to do the same. From the stage I talk about what each piece replaced, what it took and what a person still does. Every demo runs live on an invented test property, so the room sees it work and nobody's data is on screen.

Long bio
Thomas Tamine is Principal and Licensee of The Gallery Real Estate, a boutique Sydney agency that does property management and nothing else. He started it in 2020, aged 22. Today it looks after over $600 million in property for its owners.
With no background in technology, he built the AI operating system the agency runs on every day: the team hub, the assistant inside PropertyMe, documents that fill themselves in and a morning brief that arrives before the office opens. Five rules never moved. Trust accounting is untouched, nothing sends itself, no notice is issued by a machine, the assistant has its own login and legal obligations are flagged, never advised.
He now shows other businesses how to do the same, as founder of The Gallery AI and as the AI Partner at Sidekick, where he runs the AI Business Build alongside founder Hermione Gardiner. He is the 2026 Young Business Champion, Entrepreneur of the Year.
Topics
Four talks for 20 to 60 minute slots. Each one is cut to the room, with live demos on an invented test property and recordings as a backup if the venue connection drops.
-
What one agency built
45 to 60 minutes. Keynote or conference session.I walk through the operating system my agency runs on, with live demos of the team hub, the assistant inside PropertyMe, the morning brief and the owner's walkthrough. The room leaves knowing someone like them did this and where to start.
-
The boring thing that pays
20 to 30 minutes. Breakout or panel.Everyone wants the 3D tour first. We built the arrears draft first and it paid for everything else, so this is how to find the job that eats your Tuesday and how to tell assembling from judgement.
-
The lines that never move
20 to 30 minutes. Industry bodies, compliance and risk sessions.Five rules written before anything was built: trust accounting untouched, nothing sends itself, no notice issued by a machine, the assistant has its own login and legal obligations flagged, never advised. What each one protects and what to walk out on if a vendor breaks one.
-
Built by a principal, not a developer
20 to 30 minutes. Business audiences and founder events.The honest version of what it took: time, money, immersion and a fortnight of being slower before being faster. For owners who've been sold AI as a feature inside their software and suspect there's more to it.
From a stage I don't show client, tenant or owner data, endorse a product, talk pricing or advise on a specific legal situation.
