What changes when an AI mistake doesn’t just hurt a benchmark score, but affects someone’s housing or healthcare? EliseAI Head of Applied Research Mario Martone argues that deploying AI in essential industries requires a very different standard of reliability. Mario joins MTS to explain how EliseAI handles roughly 5 million phone calls a month, why LLMs aren’t the right solution for every problem, and how the team combines language models, traditional machine learning, neural networks, and internally built evaluations to decide what actually works in production.  Drawing on 15 years studying theoretical physics, Mario also explains how the scientific method shapes EliseAI’s research culture, from testing new models against its own benchmarks to fine-tuning open-source models and automating increasingly complex workflows across housing and healthcare. And he makes the case that applying AI to the real world can produce problems every bit as intellectually difficult as the ones he encountered studying string theory.

Of all the jobs people hoped AI would take, "the landlord" was not high on the wish list. Too late. EliseAI, which builds artificial intelligence for the rental-housing industry, has raised $350 million at a $4 billion valuation, led by Andreessen Horowitz and Bessemer. The AI landlord is now a very well-funded reality. What it does EliseAI automates the grind of property management: answering prospective tenants, scheduling viewings, screening applicants, chasing rent, and handling maintenance requests, all without a human in the loop for most of it.

EliseAI raises $350M, doubles valuation in a year.

EliseAI, known for AI assistants in real estate, is eyeing a $3.7 billion valuation in a new funding round involving Andreessen Horowitz.
