In a significant development for the real estate industry, Placy, a Cyprus-born AI assistant, has been launched to revolutionise the sector. Conceived by industry veterans Sergey Osipov, Mike Vasiliev, and Alex Alexeev, Placy aims to simplify and enhance the real estate market with advanced AI capabilities. This innovative tool provides personalised, insightful guidance to real estate professionals, streamlining operations and improving efficiency.

The Genesis and Vision

Placy was developed with a deep understanding of the challenges faced by the real estate market. The creators envisioned an AI-powered solution that transcends traditional property portals, providing real-time, actionable insights. According to Vasiliev, “The time for property portals is over. The next decade is all about AI co-pilots.”

Placy leverages AI to analyse property listings, state registries, and social media, delivering comprehensive information in multiple languages. This capability allows real estate agents to automate up to 50% of their tasks at a fraction of the cost. As Sotiris Komodromos, Placy’s Chief Commercial Officer, explains, “The objective is to automate 50% of the real estate agent’s tasks at 25% of the cost, safeguarding the profession while creating the instruments for the realtor of the future.”

Placy Pro, an advanced version of the assistant, supports agents by reducing their working hours through ongoing automation. This tool is designed to handle various aspects of real estate transactions, from understanding local regulations to identifying ideal properties for clients, making it an indispensable asset for modern real estate professionals.

Strategic Advantages and Future Prospects

Launching from Cyprus offers unique advantages, including an open market, an enthusiastic community, and high commission rates. Osipov’s extensive local market knowledge, gained over nine years in Cyprus, further enhances Placy’s potential for rapid adoption and success.

Placy’s introduction heralds a new era in real estate, where technology and human expertise converge to create a seamless, efficient experience for all stakeholders. As the industry evolves, AI assistants like Placy are poised to become integral to real estate operations, driving innovation and efficiency.

In summary, Placy represents a significant leap forward for the real estate industry, embodying the future of AI-driven solutions. Its creators are poised to lead this transformation, making Placy an essential tool for real estate professionals in Cyprus and beyond.

Women Accounted For More Than Half Of Scientists In 10 EU Regions

by THEFUTURE.TEAM

In Portugal’s Continente region, 265,100 women worked as scientists and engineers in 2025, representing 46% of the total workforce in these occupations.

Across the EU, women made up more than half of all scientists and engineers in 10 regions. Four were located in Spain, two in Portugal and one in Greece. The remaining regions were Poland’s Makroregion centralny, Sweden’s northernmost region and France’s outermost regions.

Most of these areas had relatively small numbers of scientists and engineers overall. Spain’s Noreste region was the largest, with 102,700 women in these occupations, accounting for 51% of its total workforce.

Women’s Representation Varies Across Europe

The figures highlight considerable regional differences in both the number of women working in science and engineering and their share of the overall workforce.

Cyprus remains below the EU average, with women accounting for 37.8% of scientists and engineers. However, this share is broadly comparable to that of Île-de-France, one of Europe’s largest centres of scientific and engineering employment.
