    "body": "Foyer is one of several AI-enabled real-estate platforms targeting agents and brokerages with workflow tools (lead qualification, document automation, listing analysis). The vertical-SaaS approach is reasonable \u2014 real estate has enough industry-specific jargon and workflow that a horizontal AI tool cannot easily compete on craft. Where Foyer wins is the focused product surface: it is clearly built by people who understand a brokerage workflow rather than retrofitting a generic AI assistant. Where it weakens is the same constraint that limits any vertical SaaS: the market is finite (US brokerages count in the hundreds of thousands but ARPU is moderate), and the agent-economy ecosystem does not naturally compose with vertical tools the way it does with horizontal infrastructure. For a brokerage today, it is a reasonable buy; for an evaluating agent looking at broad applicability, it is narrow.",
