August 12, 2026 - 12:37

Lofty, a company known for its AI tools built specifically for the real estate sector, has been named the official AI partner of Inman. The announcement positions Lofty as a founding partner of what Inman is calling its 2.0 platform, a new intelligence-driven initiative. Under this arrangement, Lofty's agentic AI capabilities will be used to power several core functions of that platform, with the goal of shaping how real estate professionals access data and complete daily tasks.

The partnership marks a significant step for both organizations. For Lofty, it provides a direct channel to Inman's broad audience of agents, brokers, and industry executives. For Inman, it brings a specialized technology provider into its ecosystem to help move the platform beyond traditional news and analysis. Lofty's AI is designed to handle complex workflows, which could mean automating parts of the listing process, generating market summaries, or providing predictive insights for agents.

The announcement was made from Phoenix, where the company is based. Lofty has previously received recognition for its work in the AI space, and this new role is expected to accelerate adoption of its tools among real estate professionals. The companies have not yet detailed which specific features will launch first, but they indicated that the integration will roll out over the coming months. For now, the focus is on building the underlying infrastructure that will support the new platform and deliver on the promise of a more intelligent real estate experience.
