AI, Tech Adoption, the Future of CRE & Building Relationships | Live from the Real Estate Gala ft. ButterflyMX, Hoya Capital, Crexi, CBRE, VryfID & More

In this special episode of Tangent Proptech, Edward Cohen is on the red carpet at one of the most exclusive commercial real estate events of the year: the Real Estate Gala in New York City. This episode features rapid-fire conversations with founders, investors, brokers, developers, and operators across the proptech and commercial real estate ecosystem.

A big focus of the evening was on AI. Namely, this question: how is AI being used in real estate right now? And possibly more front-and-center: what’s hype and what’s here to stay? From leasing and marketing to underwriting and financial modeling, this episode explores where artificial intelligence is already driving value in real estate, where it’s falling short, and how we can close the gap.
