Acres.com, the Fayetteville, Ark.-based land intelligence platform, has unveiled what it's calling the first AI agent built specifically for land acquisition and development teams—a product it's dubbed Acres Intelligence.
The tool is designed to work alongside teams at homebuilders, developers, data center operators, retailers, and investors, combining thousands of proprietary datasets with geospatial analytics and real-time information. Rather than running searches through rigid filters, users can ask complex questions in plain language—like "Where are the best 200-plus acre development opportunities near a major growth corridor with minimal flood risk and nearby sewer access?"—and get back a fully synthesized answer in seconds rather than days.
The problem Acres is targeting is a familiar one for anyone who's worked in land. Most firms still rely on fragmented, manual workflows—reviewing disconnected records, calling local planning departments, and commissioning expensive third-party reports. Acres Intelligence is designed to compress that process dramatically.
“Land has always been one of the most fragmented and time-intensive asset classes to understand.”
“With Acres Intelligence, we’re introducing a new way of working. We aren’t just shipping another feature; we’ve developed AI that operates like a member of your team, taking on the research, analysis, and reporting that used to take days, and delivering it in seconds with a level of depth that wasn’t previously possible.”
Early use cases include market screening, zoning and rezoning analysis, site feasibility research, and automated report generation. The agent draws on Acres' curated data layers as well as the ability to source and synthesize external information—surfacing insights the company says were previously "difficult or impossible" to uncover. Acres covers data for more than 150 million parcels of land across the country, giving its AI a substantial foundation to work from. For land teams trying to move faster in a competitive market, the pitch is straightforward: what used to take weeks of work should now take minutes.
