Andrew Zang, Founder and CEO of Bespoke AIR, explores how responsible AI is reshaping commercial real estate by helping landlords and leasing teams work smarter, move faster, and unlock new revenue opportunities. Drawing on his experience in billions of dollars of real estate transactions, Andrew explains why generic AI tools aren't enough and why tailored, industry-specific solutions are essential for meaningful adoption.
