Somerset, N.J. – October 01, 2026 -- Infrastructure AI has introduced Agentic Asset Valuation, a new capability of its Galaxy Agentic Operating System (GAOS) designed to convert real-time building and infrastructure operating data into financial-grade intelligence for underwriting, insurance, and investment decisions.

Platform shifts valuation from periodic snapshots to continuous monitoring

Commercial buildings have traditionally been valued through periodic appraisals, comparable transactions, and engineering reports that capture a single point in time. GAOS instead uses governed AI agents to interpret operational data from HVAC equipment, pumps, elevators, electrical systems, and energy-management technologies, which Infrastructure AI says can reveal equipment condition, maintenance quality, reliability, and future capital needs.
