The company says its software has been designed specifically around local legislation, property data and industry workflows, rather than being adapted from general-purpose AI tools.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Agentsy, the platform has spent the past 12 months in development and testing with early design partners including Jellis Craig, Laing+Simmons, OCRE and BresicWhitney.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe system is intuitive, efficient and remarkably easy to adopt,\u201d said Michael Anania, head of property management at Laing+Simmons.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\tSmarter business news.
