Zillow Launches ChatGPT Plugin for Real Estate Searches
Zillow, the American online real estate marketplace company, has announced the release of the ChatGPT plugin, which is designed to help users discover new real estate listings. The plugin enables users to ask questions about specific properties or share their preferences for for-sale and rental properties that they are interested in.
By using conversational language, users can specify their location, price range, and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms they require. The Zillow plugin then utilizes relevant data from its extensive database of real estate listings to provide users with accurate information in real-time.
The ChatGPT plugin is currently available for a limited number of users, with wider access anticipated in the future. The use of generative AI is transforming the way people look for information and with Zillow's expertise in AI and machine learning, it is well-equipped to help customers search and find homes in this new way.
David Beitel, CTO at Zillow Group, said, "As the first major residential real estate marketplace to bring advanced, AI-powered search to the home-shopping experience, we understand its immense potential, and we look forward to developing more tech innovations with OpenAI technology in the future."
Zillow's goal is to create a housing super app that provides customers with a seamless, connected experience across all their real estate needs, including buying, selling, financing, and renting. With AI capabilities featured across its products and services, Zillow is constantly innovating in this field.
In January Zillow launched natural language search queries on its apps and sites, and with the ChatGPT plugin, it continues to use technology to make it easier for customers to find and get into their next home. The alpha phase of the ChatGPT plugin enables Zillow to refine and enhance the experience based on user interactions.
OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, has put safeguards in place to minimize inaccuracies and prevent inappropriate responses. However, users should be aware that the experience may not work exactly as expected at times.
