This week, we’re joined by our very own Kari Knoedler—now officially the office AI expert (yes, she took a class, so it’s legit).

We dive into how AI is actually being used every day in commercial real estate—from cranking out marketing content and building better spreadsheets (seriously… better spreadsheets) to leveling up research and efficiency across the board.

But it’s not just about convenience—AI is already shaping the industry in bigger ways. Think data centers, energy consumption, and how site selection is evolving right in front of us.

We also tackle the big question: Should we be worried about our jobs? Short answer—relationships still win. CRE is still a people business.

Of course, we keep it real—talking about using AI responsibly, protecting confidential information, and how this all feels a lot like the early internet days (shoutout to AOL dial-up… no off switch then, no off switch now).

Bottom line: the more you use AI, the better it gets to know you—and the more powerful it becomes as a tool in your day-to-day business.

Tune in for insights, laughs, and maybe a few prompts you’ll want to steal.
