Conversational AI startup VerbaFlo has announced a strategic partnership with Vita Student, a student accommodation provider, to bring conversational AI to booking and tenant engagement operations.
The rollout will see VerbaFlo’s conversational AI platform embedded across Vita Student and House of Social (HOS) digital channels, providing support to prospective and current tenants. The deal reflects a growing push within real estate and hospitality sectors to adopt AI-driven automation for cost efficiency and improved customer experience.
With AI handling repetitive queries, Vita expects to improve lead-to-booking conversion rates, support outbound campaigns, and streamline rebooking journeys.
“Our partnership with Vita Student is grounded in our shared vision to redefine the student accommodation experience through the power of conversational AI,” said Sayantan Biswas, CEO and co-founder of VerbaFlo. “We’ve both seen first-hand how property teams have to juggle a large volume of inquiries… all whilst expanding their operations and maintaining a high level of customer service.”
“By embracing AI-driven solutions, we’re not only addressing the evolving needs of today’s students but also shaping the future of how student accommodation is managed and experienced,” said Max Bielby, Chief Operations Officer at Vita Student. “Partnering with VerbaFlo… is a testament to our pursuit of excellence.”

BuiltAPI GmbH, the company pioneering API-driven data infrastructure for real estate investment and asset management, has successfully closed its latest funding round backed by industry leaders including Second Century Ventures, TDS, and Propertymark. The investment marks a major milestone as BuiltAPI expands its services across Europe and the UK, following its graduation from the REACH UK Accelerator Program.
BuiltAPI tackles one of the real estate sector’s most persistent problems: fragmented, siloed data ecosystems. The company provides a robust API framework that enables seamless connectivity between legacy systems, modern SaaS tools, and intelligent automation platforms — with interoperability, governance, and cybersecurity at its core.
“We’re building the backbone of real estate data infrastructure,” said Olga Dentzel, Co-Founder of BuiltAPI. “This funding and the support of the REACH UK program are accelerating our ability to deliver secure, scalable integrations to clients across borders.”
BuiltAPI’s technology is already making an impact with major real estate institutions such as HIH Real Estate and its fund service platform INTREAL, through their digital unit INTREAL Solutions. These collaborations highlight a shared vision for practical and scalable digital transformation in real estate asset and investment management.
“The industry doesn’t need yet another tool — it needs a connective tissue,” added Ivan Nokhrin, Co-Founder of BuiltAPI. “Our mission is to empower real estate professionals to access, share, and act on their data securely and without barriers.”
Graduation from the REACH UK Accelerator — the scale-up program backed by Second Century Ventures – marks BuiltAPI’s official entry into the UK market. The program has played a key role in unlocking investors support and refining BuildAPI’s growth trajectory.
