Free rush floor plans in 30 MLSs: CubiCasa and Restb.ai cut delivery to under 12 hours
Original headline: “Most AI-edited listing photos go undisclosed: Tech Roundup” — Inman, Sep 28, 2026
CubiCasa and Restb.ai announced free rush processing of CubiCasa floor plans, cutting delivery from 24 hours to under 12, for MLSs that use both companies' technology. Inman reports 30 MLSs qualify at first; an MLS must be in CubiCasa's MLS Partnership Program and subscribe to Restb.ai's AI photo tagging in its listing input platform, and the companies estimate the perk reaches about 500,000 agents and brokers.
Our take (opinion & analysis, not reporting)
Ask your MLS whether it is on the eligible list; if not, nothing changes for your listing prep. It is a listing-prep perk, not a CRM change.

Proptech AISource: Lofty (vendor announcement)
Lofty opens an MCP server so brokerages can plug their own AI into its CRM
Original headline: “Lofty Launches MCP Server to Give Brokerages an Open Foundation for Their AI Strategy” — Lofty (vendor announcement), Sep 24, 2026
Lofty announced Lofty MCP Server on September 24, a Model Context Protocol connection that lets brokerages hook MCP-compatible AI tools and in-house agents into the Lofty platform without custom integration code. Lofty says connected agents can read data, analyze activity and, where authorized, take actions — for example, finding leads that showed buying intent but haven't been contacted in a week.
Our take (opinion & analysis, not reporting)
CRMs are opening up to outside AI assistants; before connecting one, check what it can change in your database and who on your team approved it. This is a vendor announcement. Limit an AI connection's write permissions before you let it touch live client records.
