Data Inflexion is a software development startup company specializing in creating libraries and tools for real estate and property listing website developers. Their primary focus is on enhancing experience for customers by providing intelligent solutions that help property buyers and renters find properties tailored to their specific needs. Data Inflexion wanted to leverage Generative AI to offer more refined and personalized search results to end users, but lacked in-house expertise to build and implement such capabilities at scale.

The first of their products, prpt, part of the prpt.io suite is a full featured interactive GPT chat panel to intelligently and dynamically generate listings from user questions.

For example: Can I see a list of properties for a family of four near Dubai Internet City?

prptSLM is a Property and Real estate based Small language Model trained on 3.7 billion parameters with extensive data about the Middle East property scene, including reports, regulations, technical manual, listings, laws etc.

The Challenge

Our client Data Inflexion, a generative AI (GenAI) company specializing in software development for property listing companies, faced significant security challenges. As a startup focused on creating libraries and tools for real estate and property listing website developers, their mission was to enhance the user experience by providing intelligent solutions tailored to the needs of property buyers and renters.

To achieve their business objectives, the company needed a robust security posture to ensure compliance with regulations and meet the expectations of their clients in the real estate sector.

The advent of GenAI meant there was emergent threats, including Data Security risks, Malicious Use threats, vulnerabilities in the models, and ethical and compliance risks. This is apart from operational risks that includes over reliance on AI in their products, and the need to monitor constantly to detect misuse which might lead to legal and cost implications.

The risks associated with this include

Inability to Sell Products: Without achieving the appropriate compliance, Data Inflexion runs the risk of struggling to secure contracts with real estate companies that require adherence to these regulations.

Reputation Damage: A lack of robust security could lead to potential data breaches, harming their reputation in a competitive industry.

Customer Attrition: Failure to meet compliance standards could lead to the loss of existing customers and deter potential clients from engaging with Data Inflexion or purchasing their solutions.
