reAlpha Tech Corp. (“reAlpha” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: AIRE),
a real estate technology company developing and commercializing
artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies, today announced that
it has acquired 85% of the outstanding equity in AiChat Pte. Ltd.
(“AiChat”).
AiChat is an award winning Singapore-based company that develops
AI-powered conversational customer experience solutions that
provide enterprise customers with intelligent chatbots and
automation tools that improve customer interactions and operational
efficiency. The Company will acquire the remaining 15% on June 30,
2025.
The total purchase price is $1.14 million, which is payable in
shares of the Company’s common stock in three tranches beginning no
later than January 1, 2025. The Company has also agreed to infuse
$300,000 into AiChat at such time determined by the parties. This
strategic acquisition marks a significant milestone in reAlpha’s
growth trajectory and underscores its commitment to expanding its
technological capabilities and market presence in the Asia-Pacific
(APAC) region.
reAlpha expects that integrating AiChat's conversational AI and
customer experience platform, which supports over 250 languages,
into its business will enhance reAlpha’s technological capabilities
by providing customers with more robust and intelligent customer
interaction tools due to the sentiment analysis and machine
learning capabilities from AiChat’s platform.
Additionally, reAlpha believes that AiChat’s platform
capabilities and already established sales channels will increase
usage and visibility of its technologies and platforms, including
Claire, reAlpha’s commission-free homebuying platform, which in
turn is expected to lead to more customers using reAlpha’s
platforms when seeking real estate solutions, including homebuyers
purchasing a home via Claire. As a result of this acquisition,
reAlpha believes its brand and market position in the AI industry
will be further bolstered by leveraging AiChat’s brand and
expertise in such industry.
The global conversational AI market, the industry AiChat
operates in, is projected to expand from $13.2 billion in 2024 to
$49.9 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate
(CAGR) of 24.9% over the forecast period.
Giri Devanur, CEO of reAlpha, commented, “We are thrilled to
welcome AiChat to the reAlpha group. We believe this accretive
acquisition is a large step in our journey to bring the global real
estate industry into the digital era. AiChat’s innovative platform
and talented team will accelerate our efforts to make Claire set
the new standard for efficiency, accessibility and reliability when
it comes to buying a new home.”
Kester Poh, AiChat's CEO and founder, along with the key
management team, are expected to continue to lead AiChat as part of
the reAlpha group. reAlpha believes that this will ensure
continuity and leverage their domain expertise to drive forward the
combined company’s vision. Mr. Poh added, “Joining forces with
reAlpha opens up exciting new opportunities for AiChat. We look
forward to integrating our technology with reAlpha’s resources and
expertise, which will help us to enhance our product offerings and
expand our market leadership.”
For additional details concerning the terms of this acquisition,
please reference the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K which
will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”).

About Claire
Claire, announced on April 24, 2024, is reAlpha’s generative
AI-powered, zero-commission homebuying platform. The tagline: No
fees. Just keys.TM
Claire's introduction aligns with major shifts in the real
estate sector after the National Association of Realtors (NAR)
agreed to settle certain lawsuits after they were found to have
violated antitrust laws, resulting in inflated fees paid to
buy-side agents. This development is expected to result in the end
of the standard 6 percent sales commission, which equates to
approximately $100 billion in realtor fees paid annually. Claire
offers a cost-free alternative for homebuyers by utilizing an
AI-driven workflow that assists them through the home buying
process.
Homebuyers can use Claire’s conversational interface to guide
them through every step of their journeys, from property search to
closing the deal. By offering support 24/7, Claire is poised to
make the homebuying process more efficient, enjoyable and
cost-efficient. Claire matches buyers with their dream homes using
over 400 data attributes and provides insights into market trends
and property values. Additionally, Claire can assist with
questions, booking property tours, submitting offers, and
negotiations.
Currently, Claire is under limited availability for homebuyers
located in Palm Beach, Miami-Dade and Broward counties in South
Florida, but we are actively seeking new MLS and brokerage licenses
that will allow us to expand into a larger number of U.S.
states.
