The Lofty AI Index is a monthly report that measures how much work AI does for real estate agents on the Lofty platform. It counts the tasks Lofty’s AI completed, such as lead follow-ups, social posts, homeowner emails and CRM updates, and converts them into estimated hours saved. Results are broken down by AI agent, by task, by type of business and by U.S. state.

The Lofty AI Index is published by Lofty, the AI-powered real estate platform used by agents, teams and brokerages across the United States. The index is built from Lofty’s own platform records of AI tasks completed for its users.

The Lofty AI Index is updated every month. Each edition covers one full calendar month and is published after the month closes, so agents and brokers can track how AI usage in real estate changes over time.

Every AI vendor says their product saves time. Almost none of them show the math. We decided to put a number on it, publish it every month, and stand behind it.

The AI Index is Lofty taking that stand. It turns "AI saves you time" into a figure an agent, a broker or a prospect can check: what the AI did, how many times, and how many hours that work would have taken a person.

Real estate agents and brokers are told AI will save them time, but there has been little hard data on how much, on which tasks, or for which kinds of businesses. The Lofty AI Index closes that gap with a transparent, recurring measurement of the work AI completes and the hours it gives back to agents.

The Lofty AI Index is for real estate agents, team leaders, brokers and brokerage owners who want to understand how AI is being used in real estate. It is also a resource for industry analysts, journalists and technology leaders tracking AI adoption in the housing and real estate industry.

Yes. The Lofty AI Index tracks real AI activity across Lofty’s platform every month, including lead follow-ups, social posts, homeowner emails, morning briefs and phone calls. It shows that agents at every size of business, from solo agents to large brokerages, hand everyday work to AI and save time.

Lofty AI saves real estate agents more than 100,000 hours of work every month, according to the Lofty AI Index. AI completes more than a million tasks a month for Lofty agents. The biggest time savings come from high-volume work like lead follow-up, homeowner emails, daily morning briefs, and social posts.

Yes. The Lofty AI Index is published publicly so agents, brokers, journalists and analysts can reference it. When citing figures, please name the Lofty AI Index as the source, include the month the data covers and link back to the Lofty AI Index page.

Real estate agents, teams and brokerages can request a demo from Lofty to see Sales Agent, Social Agent, Homeowner Agent and Cowork in action. The same AI agents measured in the Lofty AI Index can take lead follow-up, social posting, homeowner nurture and CRM updates off an agent’s plate.

Hours saved are calculated in three steps. First, Lofty counts each task the AI completed from platform records, such as messages sent, posts published and calls connected. Second, each task type gets an estimate of how many minutes it would take an agent to do by hand. Third, count multiplied by minutes gives total hours saved.

The number of tasks is measured from real platform activity. The minutes per task are estimates of how long an agent would spend doing that task manually. Each task has a low, mid and high minute value, and the Lofty AI Index publishes the mid estimate as the headline with the low-to-high range shown alongside it.

Different agents take different amounts of time to write a follow-up text or a social post. Rather than claim a single exact figure, the Lofty AI Index gives a low, mid and high estimate for every task. The headline uses the mid estimate, and the range shows how much the result could vary.

Only finished work counts: messages that were actually sent, social posts that were published, phone calls that connected, videos that generated successfully and morning briefs that were delivered. Drafts are counted only if they were not sent another way. Attempts, errors and unfinished work are not counted.

The index counts repeated work once where it makes sense. Lead follow-ups and homeowner emails count once per lead or homeowner per month, not once per message. Social posts count once per channel. Cowork conversations count once for each kind of help they gave, not for every step the AI took. Test and Lofty staff accounts are excluded.

The Lofty AI Index covers Lofty’s three AI agents and Cowork. Sales Agent follows up with leads, makes calls, books appointments and sends a daily morning brief. Social Agent plans, writes and publishes social content. Homeowner Agent nurtures past clients and homeowners. Cowork is the AI assistant agents ask in plain language to find leads, write messages and act in the CRM.

In the Lofty AI Index, AI handles tasks such as following up with new leads by text and email, sending homeowner market updates, delivering daily morning briefs, writing and publishing social media posts, creating listing videos, updating lead records, making phone calls, booking appointments and summarizing calls. The index tracks dozens of task categories in total.

Across Lofty AI Index reports, the biggest time savings consistently come from lead follow-up, homeowner nurture emails, daily morning briefs and AI-written social posts. These are high-volume, repetitive jobs that agents would otherwise do by hand every day, which is why automating them returns the most hours.

Lofty Sales Agent is an AI agent that works like a virtual inside sales assistant (ISA) for real estate agents. It follows up with leads by text and email, holds conversations, makes AI phone calls, books appointments, keeps lead records up to date and sends the agent a daily morning brief. It is tracked as its own category in the Lofty AI Index.

Lofty Social Agent is an AI agent that plans, writes and publishes social media content for real estate agents. It writes captions, selects photos, posts the agent’s own listings and creates AI listing videos. In the Lofty AI Index, each post counts once per social channel it is published to.

Lofty Homeowner Agent is an AI agent that keeps real estate agents in touch with past clients and homeowners. It sends personalized market update emails, fills in property value, equity and mortgage data, and hands the homeowner off to their agent with an AI summary when they are ready to talk. Its work is measured in the Lofty AI Index.

Lofty Cowork is an AI assistant for real estate agents that works across the entire Lofty CRM, on the web, in the mobile app, in the email and text editor and in the Cowork workspace. In plain language, agents can ask it to find and research leads, write and send emails and texts, place and summarize calls, update records, run bulk actions, manage Smart Plans, property alerts and Sales Agent, plan their day from the inbox and calendar, search listings and transactions, research the market, track goals and reports, create content and files, and set up scheduled tasks and custom agents that run automatically.
