28 Industry Updates From mergers and acquisitions to cutting-edge tech tools and solutions, here's the company news the industry is talking about this month. ZESTYAI PARTNERS WITH BLACK KNIGHT ZestyAI, a provider of climate and property risk analytics solutions powered by artificial intelligence (AI), has announced an agreement with software, data, and analytics provider Black Knight that will make ZestyAI's property risk analytics platform, Z-PROPERTY, available to its mortgage, real estate, and capital markets clients to provide timely property-condition reports and risk insights. ZestyAI's Z-PROPERTY platform uses computer vision and machine learning to extract insights from aerial and satellite imagery for more than 150 million residential and commercial properties. ZestyAI maintains a digital twin of every property in North America that is con- stantly updated as changes in property condition, maintenance, and upgrades impact each proper- ty's evolving value and risk. "We're always looking to deliver even more powerful data and insights for our customers, and ZestyAI's property analytics platform immediately stood out," said Julian Grey, EVP, Mortgage & Capital Markets Product Management, Black Knight Data & Analytics. "Investors and creditors will now have instant access to detailed property condition data much earlier in the origination cy- cle. Offering ZestyAI's roof condition assessment and other insights is a huge win for our customers." Z-PROPERTY data gives Black Knight clients a huge advantage in assessing property condition. ZestyAI's technology looks at features, such as roof condition, from each individual property, providing property-specific insights that will give Black Knight's clients an easy and cost-effective way to augment their assessment of property value and risk throughout the entire mortgage life cycle. "Black Knight is the leading provider of rich data and analytics for the mortgage and real es- tate industries where real-time data and decisions are the new normal," said Attila Toth, Founder and CEO of ZestyAI. "We're proud to provide Black Knight's clients with our unique property insights to further improve speed and accuracy during every step of the home acquisition and financing process."
