RealEstateAI
A workshop diary of real estate with AI

Real estate with artificial intelligence, told by people who do it every day.

We build our own working tools: the CRM, the automations, the photos, the tours, the calculators. Here we explain how, with the numbers, the mistakes and what we learned. We sell nothing.

A printed catalogue from our websites' data: what paper won't forgive

How we work

  1. 01The CRM, written by usFrom a no-code Airtable system to our own app on Postgres, without ever switching the old one off. What worked, what broke, and the rules that came out of it.
  2. 02Automations you can countEvery process that runs on its own has a name, a runner, a proof of life and an off switch. Why a dashboard without proof lies, and how we found out.
  3. 03AI photos and video, labelledWhat generative models really do to photos of a home, the mistakes we paid for, and the transparency rules that came out of them: labels, originals, no simulations in disguise.
  4. 04A newsroom that fact-checks itselfHow we write reader articles with AI: drafts only from the facts in the brief, four checks before publishing, and one article a week that goes out without human review only if every hard claim is confirmed.
  5. 053D tours and real dataA Matterport tour, a video, sunlight and walking times computed from coordinates: what they really tell a buyer abroad, and what you still need to see in person.
  6. 06When AI is not the answerFive questions, three homes and the reason for each: we built it without an LLM, using transparent scoring. Why plain code sometimes beats AI, and how to tell when.
