Qualia CEO speaks on agentic AI updates, fully automated closings

"A fully automated transaction is no longer theoretical that is something that is going to happen soon. We think that 80% automation is achievable this year. The timeline represents a significant compression of earlier forecasts. When Qualia launched the original Clear system in September 2025, the company predicted 80% automation would arrive within 24 months. Baker now believes that threshold will be crossed by the end of 2026."

"Research firm METR has found that the length of tasks AI can perform doubles roughly every four to seven months. I generally think that people are massively under reacting to what is happening right now. The level of breakthrough we're talking about with what's happened over the last few years in AI, and what's going to happen this year, is similar to prior inventions like fire or language."

"Title professionals typically manage more than 100 emails per transaction, often working with two screens open—email and Qualia side by side. What Clear is able to do is sit in your email, see the email and then put in front of you all of the actions that need to happen. You can just look down the list of recommended actions and hit approve, and those actions actually just happen."

Real estate automation is advancing faster than previously anticipated. Qualia's Clear system originally predicted 80% automation within 24 months of its September 2025 launch, but leadership now believes this threshold will be reached by end of 2026. This acceleration reflects widespread underestimation of AI capabilities. Research indicates AI task performance length doubles approximately every four to seven months. The Advanced Email Processing feature addresses the industry's primary time drain, where title professionals manage over 100 emails per transaction. The system integrates with email to identify necessary actions, automatically respond to messages, draft proactive communications, and organize inboxes by topic, allowing professionals to approve recommended actions efficiently.
