Our work · Commercial leasing in Los Angeles

Live in three months: a business goes from “here is what we need” to a negotiated lease

Alex matches a business to commercial space and carries it toward a signed lease. It sizes the space from what the business needs, ranks the whole market, prices the build-out that would make a near miss work, models the deal month by month, and lets two AI agents negotiate it inside limits each side sets.

What we built: Space sizing, a ranked market, build-out pricing, a month-by-month deal model and two AI agents that negotiate inside limits each side sets.
Time: About three months from the first commit in August 2026 to going live in November 2026.
What it doesn’t do: Commercial space only, no homes. Alex is not a broker, a law firm or a party to any lease; only the landlord can confirm availability and terms.

How it works

1Say what you needOffices, desks, meeting rooms, budget, area. Alex sizes the space from real space standards, so nobody has to guess a square footage.
2See the whole market, rankedEvery listing comes back as fits, fits with a build-out, or near miss. A near miss shows what a build-out would cost to make it work.
3Design the spaceAdd or resize rooms on the floor plan and the cost re-prices live, at three finish levels: lean, standard and turnkey. Each comes with a printable estimate.
4Model the dealMonth-by-month cash flow over the term: rent increases, free months, the improvement allowance against the build-out, effective rent and the cash due at signing.
5Let the agents negotiateThe landlord sets private limits the tenant never sees. Each side gets an AI agent, they negotiate toward a deal and show every step. If there is no deal, it shows the exact gap.
6List a space in a minuteOwners paste rough notes, photos or a listing link, and Alex turns them into a clean listing to review and publish.
