Mitesco announces the launch of the RoboAgent Test Bed Team. It’s an initiative designed to provide real-world feedback, validation, and industry expertise as the company advances development of its AI-powered real estate productivity platform, RoboAgent.
The RoboAgent Test Bed Team brings together respected leaders from across the real estate, coaching, and sales performance industries who will actively participate in evaluating the platform, validating use cases, testing workflows, and helping guide product development.
The initial Test Bed Team includes Frank Panunto, Vice President of Growth, eXp Realty – a residential real estate brokerages; Kim Hughes, Founder and Operations Coach of Kim Hughes & Company, recognised for helping real estate agents, teams, and brokerages improve productivity, systems and operational performance; and Doug Lotierzo, President and Owner of The Lotierzo Group, specialising in sales training, leadership development, accountability systems and performance coaching.
Together, these industry professionals contribute decades of experience in brokerage growth, agent productivity, sales coaching, and business development. Through the Test Bed Team, participants will provide direct feedback on product functionality, workflows, coaching content, integrations, and user experience, helping ensure RoboAgent addresses the real-world challenges facing today’s real estate professionals.
RoboAgent is designed to help real estate professionals cut through the noise of disconnected systems and overwhelming lead volumes by transforming CRM, MLS, and transaction data into prioritised daily actions. The platform leverages AI to identify opportunities, recommend next steps, and help agents focus on the activities most likely to drive revenue and client engagement.

“By collaborating with experienced agents, coaches, brokerage leaders, and technology advisors, we can ensure RoboAgent addresses real-world challenges and delivers measurable productivity gains. The expertise represented by this group spans brokerage leadership, operational excellence, coaching, sales performance, and agent productivity.
“Their feedback will help us refine RoboAgent into a platform capable of delivering meaningful value to agents, teams, and brokerages. RoboAgent is not about replacing agents – it’s about empowering them.
“By combining AI-driven insights, proven coaching methodologies, and guidance from some of the industry’s most experienced professionals, we believe RoboAgent can help agents focus on what matters most – building relationships, serving clients, and growing their business.”
