Welcome to the 2nd official episode of the ChatCRE podcast, where we explore how CRE industry leaders are using, and building with AI.
This week I sat down with Rafael Weiss, to talk about how he built (and how to use) Sytes - a fast growing, AI-powered platform that matches real tenant requirements with real landlords & brokers.
This episode is brought to you by CRE AI Studio, where we teach CRE professionals how to supercharge their workflows with AI tools.
In last week’s session we covered how to use Notebook LM for a wide-range of CRE use-cases.
NotebookLM is one of the most powerful, and most underutilized AI platforms in CRE. It’s AI that’s trained on YOUR CRE intel.
In this session we covered: 🧠 Building your second brain by uploading meeting transcripts, 🏗️ loading Notebook with market, building &/or tenant data to scan it for biz dev opportunities, 🎯searching the web for public intel on your new biz dev target to wearn about their CRE needs instantly, 🎨 extracting insights to build your pitch deck with, 📊 loading Notebook with rent rolls, building docs, and any CRE data you need constantly to have it immediately have it at your fingertips.

Rafael is a developer and landlord running a family office in South Florida, in addition to being CEO of Sytes.
He created Sytes out of necessity, by answering a question he and his peers faced every day: “What tenants actually want my property?”
Too Long Didn’t Listen - We get into:
The origin story of Sytes and why it’s resonating with CRE pros
The biggest challenges retail brokers face with data and site selection
How Sytes is reshaping how retail site selection and tenant matching happen
How Rafael’s building the platform organically, through LinkedIn and word of mouth
How Rafael thinks about AI, automation, and efficiency in CRE, and how it’s enabled Sytes to solve a problem that many others have failed at
