AutoReel was founded in NYC by Alok Gupta, a former Product Manager at Facebook and Software Engineering Leader at Snapchat. With a technical background and expertise as a Real Estate investor, he recognized the gap in real estate video marketing before such AI tools even existed. In 2023, he set out to build AutoReel on a mission to help real estate professionals create high-quality videos effortlessly.

The Future of Real Estate Marketing is Video – But It Shouldn’t Be This Hard

The real estate industry has always been visual. Beautiful photos, virtual tours, and cinematic videos help buyers fall in love with a property before they ever step inside. But if video is the future of marketing, why is it still so difficult and expensive to create?

Realtors and real estate media professionals know the struggle all too well. Traditional video production is costly, time-consuming, and requires specialized skills. AI-powered tools promise automation, but most fail to capture the quality, control, and storytelling that real estate demands.

With the rise of visual storytelling, short-form videos, and social media – I saw the rise of this trend firsthand during my time at Facebook and Snapchat. And that’s why I built AutoReel, an artificial intelligence (AI) technology company based in New York City with a singular vision: to make professional-quality real estate videos effortless.

A Vision That Started Before the Technology Even Existed

I’ve spent my career at the intersection of technology, product, and innovation. As a former Product Manager at Facebook and Engineering Leader at Snapchat, I’ve worked on some of the most cutting-edge advancements in AI and content creation. But long before AI-generated media became mainstream, I recognized a massive gap in real estate marketing:

👉 Realtors need high-quality listing videos, but don’t have the time, budget, or expertise to create them.

👉 Real estate media professionals want to scale their video offerings, but manual editing is slow and expensive and may not ideally suit all use cases.

Back in 2023 (before AI tools like LLMs and generative media were even viable for rich forms of media such as video) we started building AutoReel. We knew that eventually, technology would catch up to this problem. Instead of waiting for AI to get better, we built the foundation ourselves.

That’s what makes us different. AutoReel isn’t just another AI tool jumping on the trend – we’ve been solving this problem since before the technology existed.
