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."

Multi-phase, multi-region rollout will deliver advanced AMD AI silicon and the open AMD ROCm software stack to frontier-model, enterprise, and sovereign AI customers across global markets
SINGAPORE, May 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- OneQode, a global provider of mission-critical digital infrastructure, today announced a collaboration with AMD to deploy AMD Instinct™ GPUs, as well as announcing plans to deploy AMD Helios rack-scale solution as the platform foundation for OneQode's global AI infrastructure rollout.
OneQode plans a phased rollout anchored by AMD Instinct™ MI355X GPUs in initial deployments and incorporating AMD Helios solution in the future. The deployment will run on the open AMD ROCm™ software stack, giving customers a standards-based, vendor-neutral foundation for large-scale AI training and inference.
The announcement follows OneQode's recently announced 110MW AI infrastructure agreement with Bitzero in Norway, and reflects the company's broader strategy to deploy high-performance AI capacity across Europe and Asia-Pacific. It leverages their existing cloud and telecommunications footprint deployed across 5 continents over the last 7 years, and will also incorporate their unique low-latency, sovereignty-focused product offerings.
OneQode expects to support a range of high-performance AI workloads, powered by AMD AI solutions, including frontier-model training and inference, enterprise AI, and sovereign AI for governments, research institutions, and AI-first organisations.
"Demanding AI workloads require high-performance compute, scalable infrastructure and an open software ecosystem," said Negin Oliver, corporate vice president, Business Development for AI, AMD. "AMD Instinct GPUs and the unifying AMD ROCm open software stack are designed to help customers accelerate large-scale AI training and inference with the performance, efficiency and flexibility they need. We're pleased to work with OneQode as it expands access to AMD AI solutions for customers globally."
"AMD is shipping some of the most compelling AI hardware in the market," said Matthew Shearing, Founder and CEO of OneQode, "The challenge now is putting that silicon in the right places - close to the customers, sovereign workloads, and AI-first organisations that need it. That's what OneQode does. We've spent nearly a decade building performance infrastructure across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the global south, serving the kinds of workloads where uptime, latency and sovereignty actually matter. We're aiming to be AMD's partner of choice for extending AMD Instinct silicon at scale into the regions that need it most."
"We're genuinely pumped to be working with AMD," said Joe Swinn, Head of Product at OneQode. "We've been deploying infrastructure at scale globally for seven years, including some blazing-fast AMD EPYC processor-based private cloud builds, and this is one we've been waiting for. The AMD Instinct MI355X is a serious piece of silicon, and AMD Helios is built for the kinds of AI workloads our customers actually want to run. The AMD team have been brilliant to deal with, and we can't wait to get this kit in front of customers."
