Finalist 

OMNY

Omny is an AI-powered property search tool, free for private individuals. Rather than filtering listings by fixed criteria, the buyer describes their lifestyle plans in a conversation, and the AI suggests the most relevant properties, partly by analysing the photos. The platform aggregates listings from estate agents and can now be searched directly via ChatGPT. For estate agents, Omny operates on a pay-as-you-go basis: they only pay for pre-qualified buyer leads, which helps minimise unnecessary viewings.

Finalist

HAPIIX

Hapiix is reinventing the intercom and access control systems for blocks of flats. Visitors scan a QR code on an aluminium plaque to make a video call to the resident – without needing to download an app – and the resident unlocks their door using their smartphone. Wireless and compact, the solution requires 30 times less hardware than a conventional system and is controlled remotely, relieving the property manager of the burden of managing access badges and name changes. Designed in France and protected by patents, it has been developed in collaboration with organisations to ensure accessibility for people with disabilities (Braille, Luciole font, VoiceOver and TalkBack compatibility). Domofrance, Promologis and Nexity are among its clients.
