How We Helped a Real Estate Client Speed Up Pricing Management with a Custom AI System

Real estate is one of the most dynamic industries, shaped by shifting market trends and customer expectations. That means companies just can’t fall behind on trends. Our client, a mid-sized real estate investment firm, noticed that their pricing management had turned into a bottleneck, holding back market expansion.

When we started our project, they weren’t considering any specific solution. In fact, they didn’t even know how effective agent systems could work —until we showed them.

The Problem: Pricing That Couldn’t Keep Up

True to real estate tradition, they used historical data, manual analysis, and agent intuition to price properties. It had worked for years, but times had changed, and one day their pricing system felt more like an obstacle.

• With trends changing so fast, manual analysis was outdated by the time it was done.
• Human agents spent more time working with numbers than with customers.
• Pricing was inconsistent, leading to unsold properties or undervalued deals.
• Competitors with modern software tools were taking over.

The Solution: A Smart AI Agent for Real Estate Pricing

Having analyzed their needs, preferences, and challenges, we suggested a Real Estate AI Agent—an intelligent assistant that learns, adapts, and instantly reacts to any market moves:

• Analyzes live market data to spot trends and predict any changes.
• Provides employees with insights and recommendations, explaining the reasoning behind them.
• Automates benchmarking to keep prices in line with demand.
• Forecasts pricing based on historical data and the economy’s health.

Key Implementation Steps

Any innovation faces resistance, which is why we implemented our AI agent gradually, so the staff could get comfortable with it.

• The AI agent pulled live data (prices, demand, trends, and indicators) from multiple sources, cutting deployment time down to 3 weeks.
• The AI model combined real-time analysis with human input – employees stayed in control of the process.
• We developed a simple, intuitive interface, which looked similar to what they were used to, reducing stress during training.
• Before going all-in, for 3 months, we tested AI prices against manual ones. Realtors saw the accuracy for themselves before making the full switch.

The Results: Faster Pricing, More Sales, Higher Profits

Within months, our client noticed a massive difference:

• 25% increase in property sales – Competitive pricing brought in new buyers.
• 80% less time spent on pricing analysis – Agents could finally leave spreadsheets behind.
• 25% higher profitability – AI-powered pricing captured higher-value deals.

AI Agents: A Detailed Market Overview

Many think that AI agent technology is just another trend, but it’s more fundamental, almost as influential as the steam engine once was. And the numbers tell us this AI revolution is happening at full speed. Figures prove this too:

• In 2024, the global AI agent market was worth $5.26 billion, and it’s projected to reach $46.58 billion by 2030, with an annual growth rate of 43.8%.
• North America is among the leaders, with $1.3 billion in revenue in 2024 it holds 38% of the market.

The growing interest in AI isn’t limited to high-tech industries – this shift is impacting each and every one. Here are some real-world applications:

• America’s largest bank—JPMorgan Chase—uses an LLM called Suite AI, which supports 200,000 employees daily, speeding up fraud detection, loan approvals, and compliance checks.
• In the fashion and retail sector, Victoria’s Secret and Swarovski use AI agents to personalize shopping, manage inventory, and engage customers.
• In the healthcare sector, 90% of hospitals will rely on AI-driven predictive diagnostics and patient management by the end of 2025.

Why such a hasty adoption? Modern agentic systems are no longer clunky, rule-based chatbots—they’re almost like humans with advanced skills. They work nonstop, process information in thousands of kilobytes, and automate even higher-level tasks. Here’s how our COO, Nazar Kvartalny, describes agent systems:

AI agents, as we know them today, are a fairly new development. We don’t program them with strict algorithms anymore, we design them to work on their own and learn from user feedback, mistakes, and experiences. A few years ago, they could only collect data and answer simple questions, but this next wave can take action and improve with every interaction, just like we do.”

5 Trends Shaping AI Agents’ Future in 2025

AI agents are no longer tools—they are independent decision-makers, strategists, and problem-solvers. Business leaders who once looked at AI as a support system now rely on it to make critical decisions. Let’s see what 2025 has in store for AI. 

Autonomous Systems: Beyond Task Execution

Not long ago, all available AI tools were reactive, meaning they could only respond but couldn’t act. That’s changed. Now, when you implement AI agents, you can expect them to perform tasks independently, not waiting for any input.

Let’s consider AI financial advisors. In the past, they would only support analysts’ decisions, but now they can scan global markets non-stop, evaluate potential risks in seconds, and execute trades at the perfect moment, without human intervention. It’s no surprise that many companies want these kinds of ‘workers’ on their team—AI investments will surge by 32.44% compared to 2024.

Multi-Agent Collaboration: AI Working with AI

Right now, businesses use multiple systems, but they often don’t work together, which limits what agents can do. One AI may handle delivery routes, another takes care of customs clearance, and a third focuses on inventory demand.

In 2025, AI agents will learn to communicate and collaborate, adjusting operations on the go. That’s what the future will look like: a logistics network where one AI reroutes shipments due to weather conditions while another automatically updates inventory projections, establishing cohesive, complex workflows.

Why wait for the future to catch up? Let’s create smarter, AI-driven solutions right now.

AI Agents as Decision-Makers, Not Just Assistants

As we mentioned, AI agents evolve every day to handle more complex tasks—not only administrative and routine ones but high-stakes decisions too.

Hiring often takes hours of sorting through resumes, analyzing skills, and doing background checks. With AI agents, all HR managers need to do is enter parameters and wait a bit while their assistant analyzes applications, predicts cultural fit, and shortlists top talent, without the usual hiring biases.

Banks are getting in on it, too. Loan approvals that once took days now happen in seconds – AI  can assess risk faster and more accurately than human analysts. This takes us to a whole new level of efficiency, but we must remember that we’re still responsible for the decisions it makes. Here’s what industry experts have to say about the responsible use of AI:

With great power comes great responsibility. If an AI system rejects a loan or disqualifies a candidate, who holds the accountability? Businesses can’t just tick compliance boxes and call it a day, they need  strong AI governance frameworks, which ensure AI decisions are traceable, fair, and always have a layer of human intervention.”

Integration with IoT and Edge Computing

As with most software systems, AI agents rely on cloud processing, but that’s going to change.

In 2025, AI will move to the edge, meaning it’ll make split-second decisions directly on devices and machines.

To illustrate, think of a robotic arm on a factory floor. Instead of sending data to a central cloud, it will adjust production on the fly based on material availability, machine wear, and supply chain disruptions. In other words, AI won’t assist operations, it will be the operation.

Plus, AI will become embedded in physical operations. Automated warehouses, self-regulating power grids, and predictive maintenance will all function smarter and faster with AI IoT systems.

AI Agents in Customer Service: Hyper-Personalization at Scale

Customer service is getting the most outstanding AI upgrade, as now we can build agents that predict consumers’ needs before they even ask. That’s a huge improvement over chatbots answering pre-determined FAQs.

For example, let’s say you just landed a big promotion. Before you think of it, your AI-powered “relationship manager” has already noticed the change, suggested investment options, and even tailored financial advice.

That’s working especially well for e-commerce businesses, which are replacing their chatbots with smart personal assistants for personalized interactions. Numbers don’t lie: businesses using AI see conversion rates jump by as much as 20%. Amazon, for instance, makes 35% of its annual sales from AI-driven recommendations.

How to Prepare Your Business for Implementing AI Agents

Automated business processes, smarter workflows, and round-the-clock efficiency—huge potential, which you can unlock with the right skills. Without the proper groundwork, you may run into challenges that even top industry players overlook. So, what’s the best way to prepare? Let’s see.

Infrastructure Investment

AI agents aren’t plug-and-play tools—they need robust infrastructure. If you expect your software to process large volumes of data, make real-time decisions, and integrate into your operations, your IT backbone must be up to the task. Here are some suggestions:

• Ensure access to real-time, high-quality data. Implement centralized storage (like data lakes) and seamless API integrations. Without them, your AI agent may work with outdated or incomplete information.  
• Invest in cloud-based AI platforms, edge computing, or on-premise AI accelerators to prevent slowdowns.  
• Build a robust security framework and scalable cloud solutions to protect your sensitive data (customer records, financial details, etc.)

And most importantly, plan ahead. While 96% of companies want to expand their AI computing capacity, many already struggle with infrastructure costs and availability. Our business expert shared some thoughts:

AI agents are only as powerful as the infrastructure they’re built upon. Firms that invest in scalable data pipelines, frictionless integrations, and high-performance computing are the ones to drive innovation in 2025 .”

Staying Ahead of New Regulations

Agent capabilities are growing faster than laws can keep up—but not for much longer. Don’t rush into a project without considering transparency, fairness, and compliance—otherwise, you might face some unpleasant consequences. Here are some key regulations to watch:

1. EU AI Act – The world’s first full-scale AI law addressing threats in high-risk systems (like hiring, finance, and healthcare).
2. US Algorithmic Accountability Act – Still in the works, but if passed, it’ll require businesses to audit their AI for bias and fairness in automated decision-making.
3. China’s AI Regulations – Focused on AI content moderation, security, and algorithmic transparency.

How to stay compliant: 

• Develop internal policies to make sure AI decisions are explainable, unbiased, and traceable.
• Implement AI audits and risk assessments to test for bias, accuracy, and fairness—soon, this will be a legal requirement.
• Make AI decision-making transparent. If AI denies a loan or rejects a job candidate, you need to show how that decision was made.

The EU AI Act alone carries fines of up to €35 million or 7% of global revenue, and US regulations will follow suit. If you don’t have governance frameworks in place, you’re risking trust, market position, and future AI opportunities.”

– explains our COO, Nazar Kvartalny

Hiring & Upskilling for an AI-Driven Future

Even the best AI strategy will be useless without the right people to build, manage, and optimize your AI agents. And that’s a very concerning issue, as 75% of companies had problems finding AI talent in 2023. But instead of fighting in a hiring war, you could take a different approach:

• Don’t rely solely on new hires—try upskilling your existing IT team. Focus on fields like AI engineering, prompt engineering, and machine learning models as they’re the most relevant right now.
• Partner with software development firms that have AI expertise. You can opt for consulting, extend your own team, or outsource an entire project.

What’s Coming Next: AI Agent Predictions

AI is now faster, smarter, and more capable than ever. We have massive “frontier models” that can do everything from automating tasks and data analysis to complex problem-solving, along with specialized agents built for certain tasks. In 2025, they’ll get better. 

The role of AI is changing from pure algorithmic manipulation and calculation to that of a personal agent. Imagine everyone having their own personal assistant to reach out to for help. That’s what we’ll see in the future, and that’s what will reevaluate every job, every insight, and every innovation.”  

– Nishant Chandra, technologist and entrepreneur.

We also asked our experts what’s next—here are their top three predictions for this year:

AI Agents Will Develop Meta-Reasoning Abilities

Now, AI acts on pre-programmed rules, reacting based on past training. But future AI will perform better—it’ll know when, why, and how to apply knowledge in new contexts.

• AI agents will assess their confidence levels before making critical calls, reducing errors in high-risk environments.
• AI will advise entirely new business plans based on deep pattern recognition instead of just improving existing processes.
• AI will refine strategy in real-time, adapting to changing markets quicker than ever before. 

AI will outgrow simple automation tasks, and we’ll use it as a digital brain that can learn, think, and even question the way businesses operate.”

– says a business analyst at Inoxoft.

Multi-Agent Systems Will Evolve Into AI Economies

AI agents are diligent helpers, each one doing its unique job – some track shipments and screen resumes, while other agents run numbers and analyze market trends. In the future, they’ll start communicating and building entire independent economies. 

• In logistics, AI-powered supply chains will not only take orders but actually negotiate prices, reroute shipments, and allocate stock globally—without a single human being involved. 
• In finance, AI agents will bid against each other to maximize tax plans and even negotiate contracts. 
• And then there are intelligent cities. With AI in control, energy use, traffic, and resource distribution will constantly adapt, running at peak efficiency. 

“We’re looking at a future where AI isn’t assisting businesses, it’s changing how decisions are made at every level,” 

– adds our expert.

AI Will Become an Independent Economic Force

AI will become the core of the economy itself—owning virtual and real assets, buying, selling, and earning money on its own.

• Hedge funds owned by AI will invest, manage assets, and reinvest earnings autonomously, managing trillion-dollar portfolios.
• AI-owned companies—even without human CEOs—will handle hiring, negotiating, and executing business strategies independently.
• Decentralized AI-based economies will automatically purchase, trade, and manage both digital and real assets, raising legal and economic concerns.

This isn’t a question of ‘if’—it’s happening,” says our expert. “Our goal now is  to find out how we’ll fit into an economy where AI is a player in its own right.”
