Would you trust an agent to buy your house?

It is a deliberately provocative question, and it is the one Toby Dickinson Williams and I put to a room full of engineers and AI enthusiasts at a recent Agentic AI Meetup, run by Xcede and hosted by Orbital at our new London HQ. Buying property is one of the most consequential (and frankly, onerous) things most people will ever do. It is high-stakes, judgment-laden, and unforgiving of mistakes — exactly the kind of process that should make you before handing the keys to an AI agent. Which makes it a very good place to think hard about what it takes to build a genuinely capable agent.
