AI is everywhere in real estate right now. Most of it still stops at insight.
Dashboards explain what happened. Alerts describe what might be wrong. Reports summarize yesterday.
The next step is systems that complete work, not just surface information. That is where agentic operations begin.
At ProptechOS, we describe this shift using a simple loop: sense, reason, act.
Sense: unified access to the operational reality
Agentic systems start with structured access to reality.
In buildings, that reality lives across many systems: BMS, meters, alarms, indoor climate sensors, FM tools, energy platforms, and tenant systems. The challenge is not lack of data, but fragmentation.
ProptechOS provides a unified, permissioned data layer that connects these systems and exposes them in a machine-readable way. This allows software agents to work directly with live operational data instead of screenshots, exports, or manual interpretation.
Without this foundation, automation remains brittle. With it, agents can continuously sense what is happening across buildings, floors, zones, and rooms.

Reason: operating under real-world uncertainty
Buildings are messy. Sensors fail. Signals conflict. Schedules drift. Occupancy is rarely binary. Traditional rule-based automation breaks down quickly in this environment.
Agentic systems reason instead of reacting blindly.
Within ProptechOS, agents can evaluate incomplete or noisy inputs, combine multiple signals, and continue toward an objective while clearly stating assumptions. If a presence sensor is missing, an agent can infer occupancy from CO₂ trends and time patterns. If data quality is insufficient, it can downgrade confidence rather than raise a false alarm.
This is what separates resilient operations from fragile automation. Reasoning allows systems to adapt, explain, and improve over time.
Act: safely closing the loop
The real value appears when systems are allowed to act.
Action does not mean uncontrolled autonomy. It means governed execution.
Through ProptechOS connectors, agents can trigger well-defined actions across operational tools: creating or updating work orders, escalating issues, notifying vendors, adjusting parameters within allowed boundaries, or documenting interventions for audit and traceability.
Every action is constrained by permissions, roles, and approval thresholds. Some actions can be fully automated. Others require human confirmation. Trust is built gradually through transparency and predictable behavior.

Supervision by design
Agentic operations are not about replacing people. They are about changing what people supervise.
In a ProptechOS setup, humans define objectives, limits, and escalation paths. Agents execute within those boundaries, surface uncertainty, and ask for help when confidence is low.
This supervisor model allows organizations to scale operations without losing control, while steadily reducing manual workload and alert fatigue.
Agentic workflows already running on ProptechOS
Agentic operations are not a future concept. Several workflows are already achievable with today’s systems.
- Night-time ventilation control
Agents can detect abnormal runtime, evaluate schedules and inferred occupancy, propose or apply adjustments within policy, and document every change.
- Alarm to work order triage
Incoming alarms are assessed in context, correlated across systems, and filtered for relevance. Work orders are created only when an issue is likely to require intervention.
- Tenant issue handling
Requests are routed using building and system context, resolution is coordinated across tools, communication is kept up to date, and closure is tracked automatically.
None of these workflows require perfect data. They require systems that can reason responsibly and act within guardrails.
The takeaway
Agentic operations are not about one central intelligence controlling everything.
They emerge through many specialised agents, each focused on a narrow task, operating across connected systems, and supervised by people who understand buildings.
ProptechOS is the platform that makes this possible, turning operational data into coordinated action and moving real estate from insight to execution.
