✨ Can AI really feel like magic? When AI is built with the people who use it, not just for them, it can. In this clip from Real Estate Meets AI, Ernie Massei shares how Jamestown’s internal bot, ChatJT, has evolved from a simple chat tool into a collection of mini products that automate tasks, capture insights, and save time across teams. By establishing a feedback loop and co-creating with end users, the team has turned manual work into lasting efficiencies while uncovering new ways to understand their own processes. As Carrie Denning Jackson explains, combining deep real estate knowledge with technical expertise is what makes that transformation possible. And that’s where the magic happens. ✨ Listen to the full episode wherever you get your podcasts. 🎧 Spotify: https://hubs.ly/Q03PBnHX0 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://hubs.ly/Q03PBgnt0 ▶️ YouTube: https://hubs.ly/Q03PBndJ0 #RealEstateMeetsAI #ArtificialIntelligence #PropTech #InnovationInAction #AIinRealEstate #DigitalTransformation #RealEstateInnovation #SmartAutomation #FutureOfWork #ProcessAutomation #TechInRealEstate #DataDrivenDesign #InnovationLeadership #EfficiencyThroughAI #AIandPeople #AI #RealEstate

What does “AI adoption” really mean in an industry this complex? On the latest episode of Real Estate Meets AI, Ernie Massei and Carrie Denning Jackson of Jamestown explore why progress across the industry is still mixed. While some firms have dedicated tech teams and clear strategies in place, others are still navigating what adoption looks like within the context of their size, structure, and goals. Backend tools, compliance, and the complexity of physical assets all play a role in how fast teams can move. Both guests agree: excitement is high, but there's still a long way to go.

What if senior living design could boost ROI while still delivering optimal comfort and care? With cove’s AI-driven, full-service architecture, our team utilized our proprietary AI (Vitras▪️ ai) to help merge human-centered design with data-driven precision at Atlanta Street Senior Living in Marietta, GA. For developers, senior living projects are complex: rising care demands, tight margins, and evolving regulations. With AI in architecture, those challenges become opportunities. Here’s how: 💡 AI-driven modeling reduced design revisions and accelerated approvals. 🏗️ Optimized layouts improved staff efficiency and lowered operational costs. 🌿 Data-informed design enhanced resident wellbeing and long-term building performance. 📈 Future-proof flexibility ensures assets adapt as care levels change. The result? A senior living community that feels like home — and performs like a smart investment.

"We regulated [micro-unit housing] out of existence." — Patrick Chopson, AIA, Co-Founder and Principal Architect at cove. In The Builder's Daily feature — “From 16 to 52: AI And Atlanta Zoning Power A Micro-Moment” — Patrick Chopson and Stan Sugarman of Stryant Construction share how AI-powered architecture and by-right zoning transformed a 16-unit concept into 52 attainable micro-apartments in Atlanta’s Kirkwood neighborhood. With cove’s Vitras🔹ai, the design team analyzed zoning constraints and optimized every square foot to unlock a missing-middle solution — affordable, livable spaces built faster and smarter. This project shows what’s possible when technology, design, and policy align — supporting the goal of Mayor Andre Dickens of creating or preserving 20,000 affordable units by 2030 and redefining how cities like the City of Atlanta approach housing.

“I'd love for the industry to over-index on building a better built environment...” For global PropTech strategist Antony Slumbers, great design is just as important as financial returns. As AI reshapes our industry, he emphasizes that keeping design at the heart of real estate means we need to guide how this technology is applied. Used thoughtfully, AI can democratize access to better buildings and ensure that high-quality design isn’t reserved for a few, but available to all. As Slumbers puts it: “Everyone should be able to have great design.” 🎧 Listen to the full episode of Real Estate Meets AI wherever you get your podcasts. #RealEstateMeetsAI #PropTech #CRETech #FutureOfWork #CommercialRealEstate #OfficeStrategy #SpaceAsAService #WorkplaceInnovation #RealEstateTransformation #DigitalTransformation #RealEstateTech #AIandRealEstate #AI
