Unleashing the Power of AI: How Generative, Agentic, and Predictive AI Are Transforming Customer Experience

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been in development for decades, but the way we use it today has changed dramatically.

AI Agents in Real Estate: Streamline Inquiries and Deliver a Better Buyer Experience

In today’s competitive global real estate market, agencies are flooded with inquiries on listed properties. Buyers expect instant answers about availability, pricing, and next steps — often outside office hours. For real estate agents, this creates a heavy workload: handling repetitive questions, scheduling viewings, and informing disappointed buyers when a property is already sold or oversubscribed. Without automation and smart workflows, agencies risk being overwhelmed, leading to frustrated buyers and missed opportunities for meaningful interactions. HALO, CM.com’s AI-powered engagement platform, helps real estate companies streamline these processes. AI agents work 24/7, provide human-like responses, and handle routine tasks instantly. This frees agents to focus on what matters most: building relationships and guiding serious buyers through the transaction.

AI Agents: The Accelerators of Conversational Commerce

The way consumers search for and process information online is rapidly changing thanks to AI.
