Aire Real Estate — B2B automation

An automation tool used by real estate firms to generate dynamic business pitch presentations.

Who it was built for

The business, and what they came with.

Built for

Aire

Automation for real estate and property investment firms whose agents pitch with slide decks assembled by hand the night before.

The brief

A fifty-slide investment pitch cost an agent hours of copying market data into PowerPoint, and it was stale by the time it was presented. Aire generates the same deck from a location and a target demographic.

What we delivered

What Aire has now that they did not have before.

  • Decks generated, not templated

    PPTX files are serialised programmatically with live charts and images placed in them, so what lands is an editable presentation rather than a PDF export.

  • Market data pulled in

    Connectors to housing, demographic and financial sources feed the model, so every deck reflects the numbers on the day it was made.

  • Fifty slides in under three seconds

    A Redis caching strategy sits over the aggregation, because an agent building a pitch in front of a client cannot wait a minute for it.

  • A remote in your pocket

    A React Native companion runs the presentation from the agent's phone, so the laptop stays shut during the meeting.

Where the growth comes from

Why each piece of the build pays for itself.

  • More pitches per week

    Hours per deck was the ceiling on how many properties an agent could take to market. Removing it changes how much of the portfolio gets sold actively.

  • Every deck is current and on-brand

    Data is fetched at generation time and laid out by the system, so quality does not depend on which agent built it or how late.

  • The deliverable outlives the meeting

    A real PowerPoint file gets forwarded inside the buyer's firm, which is where investment decisions are actually argued.

The business analysis

Market, model and architecture. Every figure is either cited or labelled as a model.

Aire replaces a night of copying market data into PowerPoint. That sounds like a productivity tool, and priced as one it would be worth very little. The reason it is worth more is that deck production was a ceiling: an agent who needs four hours to build a pitch takes fewer properties to market than one who needs three seconds, and the difference is not efficiency, it is how much of a portfolio gets sold actively.

The bottleneck was production capacity, not persuasion

Real estate administration is well documented as a time sink. NAR research puts a typical residential transaction at roughly 45 hours of work, around 30 of which are paperwork and administration rather than showings or negotiation 1. Investment pitching sits on top of that, and it is the part where the data has to be current — which is exactly the part that was being assembled by hand the night before.

What a manual investment deck costs, per pitch

Our decomposition of the workflow this product replaces, in agent hours. The stage split is our model of the described process, not measured at the client.

Gathering housing and demographic data
~1.5h

Several sources, none of which agree on format. Fully removed by the connectors.

Rebuilding charts in the deck
~1.25h

Copying figures into a chart object, then fixing the formatting. Fully removed.

Layout, branding and slide order
~1h

Removed, and with it the variation between whichever agent built it.

Property-specific narrative
~0.75h

Not removed, and should not be. This is the part the agent is actually for.

Model · Our decomposition of the manual deck workflow described in this case study into four activities. Assumptions, stated so they can be argued with.

Three seconds is a meeting-room requirement

The under-three-second generation target reads like vanity engineering until you picture where it is used: an agent sitting across from a client who asks about a different suburb. Either the deck regenerates inside the conversation or the agent promises to send something later, and later is where deals go to die. The Redis caching strategy over the aggregation exists to make regeneration a conversational act rather than a task.

RequirementWhy it is commercial, not technical
Data fetched at generation timeA deck built last night is wrong today, and being caught with a stale figure costs the mandate
Under three secondsRegeneration has to survive being asked for in front of the client
Editable PPTX, not PDFThe file gets forwarded inside the buyer's firm and annotated there, which is where investment decisions are argued
Phone as remoteAn open laptop between two people is a barrier; the pitch is a conversation

Where the value concentrates

What the firm is buying, as distinct from what the agent is buying

Our apportionment across the four delivered capabilities. The agent wants speed; the firm wants consistency, and the firm signs the contract.

35%of the value is consistency, which only the firm cares about
Consistency and brand control35%
Every deck current and laid out by the system, regardless of which agent built it or how late.
Pitch throughput30%
More properties taken actively to market per agent per week.
Data currency20%
Figures fetched at generation time rather than transcribed at some point last week.
Presentation experience15%
The phone remote. Small in value terms, disproportionately liked.

Model · Our weighting of the four delivered capabilities by which buyer values them, and how much. Judgement, not customer research.

Location and demographic in, editable deck out

Five steps, three seconds. The offshoots are what a data-driven generator has to do when a source is unavailable, which is the difference between a demo and a product.

  1. Location and target demographic

    The two inputs that determine everything downstream. No slide is chosen by the agent.

  2. Market data pulled live

    Connectors to housing, demographic and financial sources, aggregated at generation time so the deck reflects the day it was made.

    • Source unavailable → cached figures used and marked as of a date
    • Conflicting sources → the deck states which one it used
  3. Charts rendered server-side

    Pandas-based processing and Chart.js rendering, so the images placed in the file are real charts of real figures.

  4. PPTX serialiseddecision

    Fifty slides assembled programmatically, cached in Redis so a regeneration in front of a client is instant.

    • Regeneration for a different suburb → seconds, inside the meeting
  5. Presented from the phone, forwarded afterwards

    The React Native remote runs the deck; the editable file then travels through the buyer's firm on its own.

The stack, by responsibility

Unusually, the heavy lifting is on the server: document serialisation is not a browser job, and the three-second target is a caching problem.

  1. Builder

    Where a pitch is specified. Deliberately thin, because the agent should be choosing a location, not a layout.

    • Next.js
    • TypeScript
    • Tailwind CSS
  2. Remote

    Runs the presentation from the agent's pocket so the laptop stays shut during the meeting.

    • React Native
  3. Generation

    Programmatic PPTX serialisation with charts and images placed into it. The most technically involved part of the product.

    • Node.js
    • Express
    • Chart.js rendering
  4. Data processing

    Normalises housing, demographic and financial sources into the figures a slide can state.

    • Pandas-based processing
    • Market data connectors
  5. Cache and store

    What makes three seconds possible. Aggregation results are cached; decks and inputs persist.

    • Redis
    • MongoDB

What we would watch

RiskWhy it bitesEarly indicator
Data licensingHousing and demographic feeds are commercially licensed, and terms often restrict redistribution — which is precisely what a forwarded deck doesSource agreements that limit derivative works or require attribution on each slide
Editable output cuts both waysA PPTX travels well and can also be altered after it leaves the agent, with the firm's brand still on itClient conversations referencing figures the system never generated
Deck samenessSystematic layout is the consistency benefit and the differentiation cost. Every firm using it produces recognisably similar pitchesRequests for bespoke templates arriving from the largest accounts first

    Lose hours to manual data entry for pitches they present once.

  • Investment firms

    Need consistent, defensible reporting for internal and external stakeholders.

  • Market analysts

    Want housing trends charted automatically rather than rebuilt monthly.
