The overlap between the real estate industry and artificial intelligence (AI) solution is the focus of this week’s Tech Trends coverage.

Addressing Agent Efficiency. Phoenix-headquartered Lofty (formerly Chime Technologies) has debuted Lofty AI Copilot, which is designed to help agents manage and convert leads.

According to the company, the new product offers a three-pronged approach: a Navigator that prioritizes a user focus while performing tasks including list filters, communications, and priorities; a Copywriter that creates content for email and text communications, SEO, blogs, and landing pages; and a TechXpert that serves as a conduit to product inquiries, billing, customer support, lead imports, and account management.

“With the industry’s most comprehensive suite of AI capabilities, our platform offers real estate professionals the flexibility and scalability they need to apply AI in the specific areas of their business where they can reap the most return,” said Henry Li, chief technology officer at Lofty. “In the coming months, we will release three additional AI agents to complement Lofty AI Copilot. Collectively, these tools will underscore our commitment to helping those in the real estate industry optimize their efforts to grow as they look to drive the highest volume of transactions with the least amount of friction.”

Seeding an AI Future. New York City-based Uniti AI, an AI agent platform for commercial real estate operators, announced a $4 million seed round led by Prudence, with participation from Alate Partners, Flex Capital, Observer Capital, and RE Angels.

Uniti AI’s LLM-native platform enables real estate operators across office/coworking, self-storage, multifamily, and brokerage to deploy highly customizable AI agents, tailored to their unique workflows and customer interactions. According to the company, the funding will enable the expansion of AI-powered voice agents, deepening integrations with property management systems, and introducing new automation for collections, tenant support, and broader real estate workflows.

“The future operating model for real estate isn’t just human-driven or AI-driven—it’s both,” said Francesco Decamilli, co-founder and CEO of Uniti AI. “Uniti AI is building the agentic platform that enables real estate operators to create and deploy AI agents tailored to their workflows. We started with leasing and sales, where response speed and qualification directly impact revenue, and we’re rapidly expanding into broader operational use cases.”

AI-Focused Acquisition. CoStar Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CSGP) completed its acquisition of Matterport Inc. (NASDAQ: MTTR), a provider of 3D digital twin technology that enables property owners, buyers, and renters to experience properties with immersive accuracy from anywhere in the world.

According to the companies, the combination of the companies is designed to accelerate the adoption of AI-driven digital twin technology across the global real estate landscape.

“CoStar Group and Matterport have long shared a vision of digitizing the real estate industry, and today, we officially unite to realize that future together,” said Andy Florance, founder and CEO of CoStar Group. “Matterport’s cutting-edge 3D capture and AI-powered property insights have already transformed how residential and commercial properties are marketed and experienced. By integrating Matterport’s groundbreaking digital twin technology with our vast property data and online marketplaces, we are creating an unparalleled solution for buyers, sellers, and renters to explore properties with greater depth and insight than ever before.”

An AI Consultant. Lowe’s Companies Inc. (NYSE: LOW) has debuted Mylow, an AI-powered home improvement virtual advisor.

According to the company, Mylow was developed in collaboration with OpenAI to provide the expertise of a Lowe’s associate on home improvement and renovation questions. Mylow is currently on desktop and mobile web for MyLowe’s Rewards loyalty members or by visiting lowes.com/Mylow, with the company adding that voice capabilities and availability will be on Lowe’s app later this year.

“The development and introduction of Mylow exemplifies the tech-forward vision of the Lowe’s brand,” said Lowe’s Senior Vice President of Technology Chandhu Nair. “We’re doubling down with emerging technology collaborators like OpenAI to solve problems for our customers and because we want the home improvement experience at Lowe’s to be a cut above.”
