Below are your bite-sized, humorous highlights of the day:

– Real estate and proptech biggies are having a chat: Like your aunties discussing the latest gossip, these top dogs had a parley at Inman Connect New York. Topic of the day was artificial intelligence (AI) and its role in shaking up the industry.

– No end-to-end solution: You know those nice Hollywood stories where the hero sweeps in and solves everything? It’s apparently not happening in real estate. The industry lacks an end-to-end solution – a single platform to cater to every stage of the real estate process.

– AI to the rescue: Like Batman showing up right when the Joker is causing mayhem, our execs believe AI is what’s next for real estate. It could finally provide the sector with an end-to-end solution.

– Common ground found: In a surprising plot twist, the executives found common ground during the discussion. No, they did not agree on who was responsible for the lack of an end-to-end solution. Instead, they all agreed that AI could be the industry’s next steppingstone.

A Gupshup and Some Common Ground

When AI Meets Real Estate: A Blockbuster in Making?

While the real estate industry is often as chaotic as a Fast and Furious movie, it’s a wild race for finding the right solution to streamline operations. It seems everyone is waiting for some Tony Stark to surprise the world with a stunning end-to-end AI platform for real estate. Our beloved executives gathered at Inman Connect NY might as well have huddled around a crystal ball, predicting the arrival of this much-awaited AI solution.

So will AI be the superhero to save the real estate day? Will it deal with all matters from A to Z, letting realtors sit back, sip their coffees and watch their properties sell themselves? Well, that remains to be seen. Gadgets are transforming from smart to smarter, but whether they can replace human intelligence is still a question up for debate. For now, we can all get our popcorn ready, waiting for this suspense thriller to unfold.

Roll the credits

AI and realty’s high-profile execs shared a Kumbaya moment in New York, agreeing that the future looked bright, or perhaps metallic (AI, get it). But who will bring this end-to-end solution to the limelight? Who will take center stage and declare, “AI is the endgame!”? Only time will tell, while we chew on our buttery popcorn, eyes fixed on the next big scene in the fascinating world of real estate.
