ARENA AI’s co-founder and CEO, Esti Shiovitz, explained that the platform aims to replace traditional property search engines by focusing on understanding the buyer’s personal profile, including dreams and purchasing power, to connect them with truly suitable apartments. Co-founder and chairman Yossi Yarkoni added that the system builds a dynamic profile for each buyer and uses AI to match them with projects while explaining the rationale behind each suggestion. He stressed the importance of integrating financial feasibility into the matching process.
Brigadier General (res.) Yigal Slovik, CEO of the Builders Association, noted that AI is already transforming construction planning, quality control, and safety, and will soon reshape marketing and sales in real estate. The event also featured a panel of experts from construction, law, and technology sectors discussing how AI combined with data and professional experience can improve project planning, pricing, and marketing, potentially creating a social as well as technological revolution in urban renewal and real estate.
The platform’s launch promises to bridge the gap between buyers and developers by providing more precise, data-backed matches, helping buyers make informed decisions and developers target ready and suitable customers more effectively.
