Empowering Commercial Real Estate Brokers with AI-Driven Action Services

In the world of commercial real estate, the integration of innovative technologies can significantly differentiate a firm from its competitors. For this week’s use case we are discussing an extention to Chat GPT Enterprise that Simply Augmented built in collaboration with a multinational commercial real estate firm interested in transforming their US operations.

One aspect of this collaboration hinged on the development of 'action services,' a sophisticated combination of AI-driven front-end web applications and back-end APIs. This system was specifically designed to enable commercial brokers to access a vast dataset of US commercial leases directly, alleviating the bottleneck previously caused by the dependency on limited research team resources.

These action services allow brokers to utilize natural language processing to query data efficiently. By interfacing directly with ChatGPT, brokers can articulate their data needs in plain English, and the AI assists them in refining their queries to produce precise results. This level of autonomy not only speeds up the data retrieval process but also enhances the brokers' ability to respond quickly to market opportunities. The system also integrates robust security measures, ensuring user authentication and data integrity, which are critical in the highly regulated real estate industry.

The impact of Simply Augmented's solution on the commercial real estate firm has been profound. Brokers now enjoy a level of independence and efficiency that was previously unattainable, which has led to quicker transactions and more satisfied clients.

The success of these kinds of action services has set the stage for further revenue efficiency across other divisions allowing for profitable scale across the firm that was difficult to achieve previously.
