Nearly every agency uses AI now. Almost none of them are pulling ahead.
Seven questions. You will see which of four groups your agency is in, how that compares with the rest of the market, and the one Alto Intelligence skill worth starting with.
0 of 7 answered
01
Where is your agency with AI right now?
Be honest rather than aspirational. Most agencies sit in the middle two.
02
How many parts of the business is it used in?
Count anywhere it is used, even informally. Property descriptions, email, marketing, admin, reporting, leads, prospecting, valuations, compliance, phones, progression.
03
How many of those are beyond writing and admin?
Property descriptions, email, marketing and general admin do not count here. Lead qualification, prospecting, reporting, compliance, valuation prep, progression and phone handling do.
04
How much time does it save you personally each week?
Your own week, not the whole agency. If you genuinely do not know, that is an answer in itself.
05
Who is driving AI in your agency?
This one turns out to matter more than any of the others.
06
What does your agency do?
This decides which jobs are relevant to you.
07
Which of these eats the most time in your week?
Answer question six first and the relevant options will appear here.

The one skill to start with
Why this one for you
Alto Intelligence skills run on demand from inside Alto. No prompting, no training. The skill gathers the data, makes the judgement and writes the words, then hands you a finished draft. Nothing reaches a client and no record changes until you approve it.
How the index works
The first five questions are scored, each worth one point, giving a score out of five. Questions six and seven are not scored: they decide which skill is recommended. One measure can be flattered. All five together are much harder to fake.
Frequency. How often AI is genuinely in use.
Breadth. How many parts of the business it touches.
Depth. How much of that is real operational work rather than writing and admin. This is the component that separates the market.
Return. Time actually saved, which acts as a reality check on the other three.
Ownership. Whether anyone has decided to do this on purpose. The strongest single predictor of the top group.
Where the comparison comes from
Group positions are drawn from our ongoing research with UK sales and lettings professionals, covering agencies from single offices to multi-branch groups. The dataset grows with every wave, so the comparison sharpens over time. Percentages are rounded.
One caveat worth stating
Time saved is both an input to the score and part of what defines the groups, so this describes where you are today. It does not predict anything. It is a mirror, not a forecast.
