The web app lets homebuyers save on buyer agent commissions while MAIA’s automated features help find ideal homes faster and easier. The service is free for homebuyers.MAIA searches over 100,000 concurrent property listings across Singapore’s major property portals, including PropertyGuru.com.sg, 99.co and MOGUL.sgAfter users choose their favourite listings, MAIA then autonomously creates individual WhatsApp chats with each listed contact.Built using Google’s Vertex AI platform and Gemini models, MAIA uses cutting-edge natural language processing to converse with sellers or their agents to schedule viewing appointments on behalf of the buyer. MAIA even understands Singlish and common emojis.Sellers or their agents pay MOGUL.sg a 0.2% referral fee only upon a successful sale, significantly lower than the typical 1% co-broking fees charged by buyer’s agents.

SINGAPORE, Feb. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Homebuyers in Singapore face a tedious and time-consuming process when searching for a new home. They need to visit multiple property portals, manually track their favourite listings, make tons of calls to sellers’ agents to fix viewing appointments and struggle with unresponsive listing agents.

This inefficient system frustrates buyers, who end up employing their own agents, often adding to their costs through agent commissions. Traditionally, buyers pay around 1% commission to their agents for HDBs, who are now urging buyers to also pay the same 1% commission[1] for private property sales, when it was previously free for buyers.

Currently, for private property sale transactions, buyer agents have to negotiate with seller agents for their share of the commission through co-broking since buyers do not pay commission to the agents representing them.

Having an agent doesn’t guarantee a smooth experience as they can run into unfriendly seller agents[2] who stonewall to avoid splitting their commission with the buyer’s agent.

MAIA revolutionises homebuying – from messy to easy

Homegrown property search portal MOGUL.sg now has a game-changing solution for homebuyers. MAIA (MOGUL.sg Artificial Intelligence Agent) is Singapore’s first AI property agent, a web app designed to streamline the search for the perfect home and simplify appointment scheduling with seller agents.

The web-based platform aggregates over 100,000 property listings from major Singaporean real estate portals, including PropertyGuru.com.sg, 99.co, and MOGUL.sg, and lets users easily keep track of their favourites, saving hours from navigating multiple websites.

 

 

Gerald Sim, CEO and Co-Founder of MOGUL.sg, said, “MAIA is the homebuyer’s best friend — a smarter way to search, schedule and secure your next home.”

“By combining Google’s cutting-edge Gemini models with our deep knowledge of the property buying process, we aim to transform homebuying from messy to easy,” he added.

Serene Sia, Country Director, Malaysia and Singapore, Google Cloud, said, “Google Cloud is committed to providing the industry’s most enterprise-ready AI platform to help organisations embrace the full potential of generative AI. By utilising Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform and the agentic capabilities of Google’s Gemini models to build and launch MAIA, MOGUL.sg is re-imagining home buyers’ property search experience across touchpoints. We are proud to collaborate with them on their innovation journey.”

MAIA also eliminates the hassle of manually coordinating viewings with multiple sellers or selling agents. Built using Google’s Vertex AI platform and Gemini models, MAIA converses naturally with sellers or their agents via individual WhatsApp chats to propose and confirm viewing appointments on behalf of buyers.

Once a viewing is confirmed, MAIA sends a calendar invite and connects buyers directly to the seller or their agents, transforming a traditionally tedious property search into a hassle-free experience.

A win-win situation for buyers and sellers

Seller’s agents only need to pay a referral fee of 0.2% when completing a sale through MAIA instead of the usual 1% co-broking fee with a buyer agent, creating a win-win situation for homebuyers and seller’s property agents. This helps to address the issue of agents trying to avoid sharing co-broking commissions[3].

MAIA delivers direct leads to property agents without additional listing fees – allowing them to focus on closing deals – and replies to messages immediately, reducing friction during the process of arranging for viewing appointments.

PropertyLimBrothers, one of Singapore’s leading real estate agencies, has partnered with MOGUL.sg to harness MAIA’s innovative AI capabilities. They recognise the platform as a beneficial tool for buyers and sellers that improves transparency and saves time. By integrating MAIA into its operations, PropertyLimBrothers aims to support its agents with better tools and resources to drive sales leads and improve administrative efficiency.

“MAIA is a homebuying revolution. Buyers enjoy a simpler, stress-free journey and connect directly with sellers or selling agents to save time on their viewing arrangements through MAIA AI’s capabilities and chat functions. It’s a win-win for everyone. MAIA also creates opportunities for PLB listing agents to build direct relationships with buyers, increasing chances of us building more value for them for their home buying journey,” said Melvin Lim, CEO of PropertyLimBrothers.

Gerald Sim said, “We’re on the cusp of a revolution in property buying, much like the travel industry’s evolution from phone bookings to travel agents and AI-powered aggregators. MOGUL.sg aims to be the ultimate homebuying aggregator like Online Travel Agents (OTAs) are to hotel bookings, and drive Singapore to the global forefront of this exciting transformation.”

Fresenius Medical Care introduces TherapyWise™ analytics for kidney replacement therapy

Cloud-based platform provides retrospective, program-level insight into kidney replacement therapy delivered in acute and hospital critical care settingsAvailable within NxStage® System One™ with NxView™ 4.0, Fresenius Medical Care’s FDA 510(k)-cleared software platform for kidney replacement therapy in the United StatesAggregates existing therapy and device data to support identification of trends related to workflow interruptions, alarm burden, and variability

BAD HOMBURG, Germany, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fresenius Medical Care, the world’s leading provider of products and services for individuals with renal diseases, today announced the introduction of TherapyWise™, a cloud-based analytics capability available within NxView™ 4.0, the Company’s FDA 510(k)-cleared software platform for use with the NxStage® System One™ in the United States. TherapyWise is designed to provide retrospective, program-level insight into kidney replacement therapy (KRT) delivered in acute and hospital critical care settings.

Kidney replacement therapy in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) generates large volumes of clinical and operational data, yet trends related to therapy delivery, workflow interruptions, and alarm frequency can be difficult to assess without standardized metrics and aggregated views. TherapyWise consolidates existing data generated at the point of care and presents longitudinal summaries intended to support oversight of KRT programs across ICU units and time periods.

“Digital solutions play an increasingly important role in how critical care teams understand and manage complex therapies,” said Joe Turk, Chief Executive Officer of Care Enablement at Fresenius Medical Care. “TherapyWise reflects our continued focus on innovation in critical care by applying data analytics. This helps hospital and clinical leaders gain visibility into how kidney replacement therapy is delivered across their organizations, supporting informed discussions around workflow, consistency, and quality improvement.”

TherapyWise works by securely transmitting data from the NxStage System One with NxView to a cloud‑based platform, where information is aggregated and displayed across predefined performance indicators. These include program‑level metrics including average delivered dose compared with set dose, average treatment time per cartridge, and alarm frequency trends. The software is intended to support retrospective review and program oversight and is not designed for real‑time, patient‑specific clinical decision‑making, which remains the responsibility of attending clinicians.

TherapyWise is part of Fresenius Medical Care’s NxView 4.0 software platform and broader critical care portfolio, which combines digital infrastructure, clinical expertise, and secure data management to support hospital teams responsible for kidney replacement therapy programs.
