Beike Deploys AI Tools Across Home-Buying and Construction Workflows
Beike, a Chinese real estate services platform, presented a suite of AI products at the 3rd World Intelligent Industry Expo in Tianjin this week. The tools address friction points in property transactions and home renovation-from matching buyers to properties to managing construction sites remotely.
The company built these products around three core problems: buyers waste time screening listings manually, off-plan properties are hard to visualize before purchase, and construction projects lack transparency and standardized quality checks.
Property Search and Viewing
Beike's Pudding AI handles initial property matching. The system uses a deep-reasoning AI model trained on the platform's housing data to parse vague or fragmented buyer requirements-budget, location, amenities, commute time-and surface relevant listings across multiple dimensions. This shortens the decision cycle by reducing manual screening.
City Heart Selection addresses neighborhood research. The tool pulls together 3D maps, aerial views, and data on schools, transit, and commercial facilities. Buyers can tour communities online and simulate how sunlight hits different rooms before scheduling in-person viewings, cutting down unproductive site visits.
For off-plan properties, Beike's MR house-viewing system uses 3D reconstruction to show how finished units will look under different lighting and decoration schemes. Buyers experience the space through mixed reality devices rather than floor plans and renderings alone.
Construction and Renovation
Beike extended AI into home improvement, where traditional workflows suffer from unclear design communication, opaque construction progress, and inconsistent quality standards.
A smart construction site system uses AI-powered cameras and 360-degree video to let homeowners monitor work remotely. The company said construction delay rates and safety incidents both dropped after deploying this visibility layer.
An AI wearable device paired with digital tools records acceptance data in real time and generates standardized inspection reports, replacing paper checklists. A separate BIM (building information modeling) solution uses intelligent modeling to align design intent with on-site execution.
Broader Platform Play
Beike also showcased three other business units: Beijiahao, a developer services platform using big data to guide construction decisions; Ke.com Rental, which manages individual rentals and branded apartments; and Rushi, a spatial AI company serving 5,000 brands across 70 countries.
For professionals in real estate and construction, the shift is practical: AI handles data-heavy matching and monitoring tasks, freeing agents and site managers to focus on relationship-building and problem-solving.
