Our take
The process of buying a new home can often feel impersonal, time-consuming, and frustrating. One of the biggest causes for this is the antiquated communication process, requiring prospective homeowners to put up with long response times, and formally generalized answers to small queries regarding a property.
OJO Labs develops AI-driven chatbots that aim to provide solutions to real-time estate queries with instantaneous response times and empathetic results. All data points and details regarding properties are collected in advance, allowing the communication process to be automated whilst saving estate agents time to engage during moments that truly require human interaction.
Whilst other property-advisor apps are appearing on the market, OJO presents itself as a serious competitor due to its access to WolfNet's data records which cover 99% of all active property listing data. Through this massive access to property insights, the company aims to provide end-to-end communication solutions for the search of properties and post-deal communications.
