At Pupil, we have a bold mission: what if we could digitise every building on Earth, and make the built world more connected, valuable, and sustainable?
Our innovative digital platform of verified spatial data is helping to unlock new possibilities in real estate. We spoke to Divia Bhatnagar, Pupil’s Director of Technology, for her expert insights into how AI is transforming the industry and shaping a smarter, more sustainable future:
“The fusion of AI and real estate is set to redefine the sector. Our digital twins of residential and commercial properties are just the tip of the iceberg.
Looking ahead, AI will not only refine property management and transactions but also revolutionise building design and functionality. We're talking about smart, energy-efficient buildings, optimised through AI-driven insights for space usage and environmental sustainability.
The potential is immense — from predictive maintenance using machine learning algorithms to enhancing customer engagement through intelligent, data-informed strategies. The future I envision is one where AI not only streamlines transactions but also plays a crucial role in developing eco-friendly, responsive urban environments, fundamentally changing how we interact with our living spaces.”
At Pupil, our work begins with creating highly accurate digital twins of buildings — precise virtual replicas that bring the built environment to life in unprecedented detail. These digital twins provide a foundation for AI-driven insights, enabling better decision-making across the real estate lifecycle, from design to management and transactions.
As Divia explains, the future of real estate lies in creating smart, energy-efficient, and sustainable buildings. Through predictive maintenance, data-driven design, and optimised space usage, AI is enabling property owners and managers to adapt to the changing needs of the built world, while reducing environmental impact.
This is just the beginning. At Pupil, we believe the combination of AI and digital twins will drive real estate into an exciting new era, one where the built world is not only connected but also actively contributing to a sustainable future.
