This week's Product Roundup starts with Avito (twice)...
Avito Real Estate has announced a partnership with Russian proptech startup M2Data to improve the verification of commercial property listings. The collaboration focuses on listings for offices, co-working spaces, and other commercial properties for rent.
M2Data provides real-time checks on the size, price, and availability of listings. Based on these checks, Avito updates its property listings to reflect the most current information. Each listing now includes timestamps indicating when it was last verified and when the property became available. Users can also apply filters to prioritise the most recently updated listings, which Avito says will help reduce both search and transaction times.
Currently, Avito Real Estate’s database includes 30,000 office listings and 20,000 listings for general-purpose commercial spaces in Moscow alone.
M2Data says its mission is to modernise "a rather conservative commercial real estate market" by promoting more direct interaction between buyers and sellers.
Meanwhile, Avito's real estate vertical has added an interactive ‘home walls’ feature to property listings in Moscow.
Homebuyers will be able to make more informed decisions by providing detailed insights into the physical structure of properties.
Developed in collaboration with an engineering media project, the new tool gives prospective buyers access to technical information about buildings across Moscow. Users can now learn about materials used in construction, wall types, insulation, ceiling heights, soundproofing, and the feasibility of internal reconfiguration or partial demolition.
The feature covers a wide range of residential buildings developed since the mid-1930s and enables users to filter search results based on architectural characteristics. According to Avito, the tool is designed to support more confident buying decisions in the second-hand housing market, where structural transparency has traditionally been limited.
“This should help the buyers of second-hand homes make better informed decisions about purchasing real estate that suits their need,” the company said.
Endeksa has launched its AI-powered real estate assistant, Atlas, in Turkey, Spain, and Portugal.
Owned by Istanbul-based marketplaces operator ILab, Endeksa describes Atlas as a mobile assistant that allows users to obtain property valuations via voice or text commands.
The platform combines multiple data sources to deliver real-time market analyses, return-on-investment insights, and valuation data.
Initially launched in November 2024, Endeska says Atlas has already been downloaded more than 50,000 times via Google Play. Users can run a limited number of free valuations before needing to subscribe to a paid package.
Görkem Öğüt, co-founder and CEO of Endeksa, said the tool was built to remove complexity from the real estate journey>
"Property technologies have always been difficult to access and complicated to use. You often need to enter countless details and try to make sense of overwhelming amounts of data. With Atlas, we wanted to change that. Our goal was to make advanced real estate technology simple, accessible and available to everyone.
"With Endeksa Atlas, users can instantly access automated property valuations, connect with the best local agents and complete their transactions with real confidence. Atlas brings together all of Endeksa’s advanced features into one easy-to-use, AI-powered platform. It completely redefines how real estate data is accessed and used."
Endeksa is a sister company of real estate portal EmlakJet.com. Parent company ILab also operates a portfolio of digital assets including Arabam.com, Kariyer.net, TechCareer.net and PeopleBox.biz. ILab acquired Endeksa in 2021.
Dubai-based marketplace Dubizzle has introduced a new AI-powered listing tool. Users can now take a photo of an item they wish to sell, upload it via the website or app, and allow AI to automatically populate key details, including the product description.
After the AI generates the listing, users have the option to edit the description and add extra information or photographs to complete the post.
Founded in 2005, Dubizzle is part of the Dubizzle Group, which operates seven marketplace brands spanning general goods, real estate, and automotive categories. Earlier this month, the group expanded its real estate footprint with the acquisition of Property Monitor.
The Dubizzle Group reports having over 2,400 employees across 10 countries and attracting more than 47 million monthly visitors across its platforms.
NoBroker has launched a commercial interiors service to provide turnkey interiors for workspaces, including planning, design, and execution. The offering is now live in eight cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru.
In a LinkedIn post announcing the launch, NoBroker co-founder and CEO Amit Kumar Agarwal wrote: "We believe a workspace is more than just desks and chairs. It’s where focus meets collaboration, and where a little bit of fun sparks big ideas. After all, we spend half our lives at work—why not make it worth the commute?"
The company said the interiors will be tailored to meet the needs of modern teams, promising functional, adaptive, and sustainable design.
The launch comes nearly three years after NoBroker first introduced a similar service for the residential segment. Like other business units, the new commercial interiors division aligns with NoBroker's model of eliminating middlemen and offering cost-effective, end-to-end solutions.
The Bengaluru-based company has been gradually diversifying its revenue model. In October 2023, NoBroker launched CallZen, a conversational AI service aimed at customer support teams, marking its first venture outside of real estate. In July 2024, it moved further into the transaction space with the launch of a luxury real estate vertical.
Founded in 2014, NoBroker has evolved from a search-and-discovery site into a full-service platform covering legal, financial, and interior design services. The company was valued at $1 billion following a $210 million Series E funding round in 2021.
