The outcomes

Where your data lands

Your AI turns raw market data into actionable investment intelligence.

DATA

Instant metric retrieval

The AI pulls specific cap rates and NOI figures for your target submarket. You get the raw numbers without manual searching.

SCOPE

Sector and submarket filtering

Your agent narrows down the data to specific asset classes or geographic areas. This ensures the metrics match your specific investment criteria.

VETTING

Investment opportunity vetting

The AI compares current market rates against your target property. This helps you see if a deal's pricing aligns with the local market.

HUMAN

Final decision making

The AI provides the data, but you make the call. You use the retrieved metrics to finalize your underwriting and risk assessment.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for market data.

The AI moves from broad market lists to specific, granular metrics through a series of targeted data calls.

  1. Identify the scope

    The AI first looks at the available asset classes to ensure it's looking in the right place.

    list_asset_sectors

  2. Locate the submarket

    It finds the specific geographic area you're interested in from the available submarket list.

    list_submarkets

  3. Pull the rates

    The agent fetches the actual cap rates and NOI metrics for that specific sector and location.

    get_market_cap_rates

  4. Synthesize the data

    The AI organizes the retrieved numbers into a format you can use for your investment model.

    get_market_cap_rates

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change the cap rate data?

    No. The AI can only retrieve existing data from the source. It cannot modify or overwrite market metrics.

    No. The tools are designed to retrieve current market data, not to generate predictive forecasts.
