We tried ChatGPT for rental listings and here's how it went ...
It’s no secret that ChatGPT is taking the world by storm, with many businesses and professionals using its services to streamline mundane tasks and seek out inspiration, particularly after a long workday. In our latest experiment, we decided to put ChatGPT to the test in the world of real estate. We tasked it with creating rental listings and the results were nothing short of fascinating. From crafting compelling descriptions to highlighting key features, here’s how our AI-powered adventure in property marketing unfolded.
Understanding ChatGPT
Before we got started, we wanted to learn more about how ChatGPT actually works. As part of our research, we stumbled upon a TV show aptly titled ‘How Does ChatGPT Work?’, with the program stating “It works through its Generative Pre-trained Transformer, which uses specialised algorithms to find patterns within data sequences”. But what does that mean to the average person? As explained by Zapier, the AI system begins by taking your prompt, breaking it down into tokens or pieces, using its network to understand those pieces and then providing you with an answer to your prompt. The more we use the system, the more it learns, forming associations between commonly asked questions.
So with that crash course out of the way, let’s see how it goes creating rental listings!
Legislative and Industry Requirements
We began our experiment by figuring out if ChatGPT could recognise the legislative and industry requirements that must be met in New South Wales when creating a rental listing. The findings were quite interesting as the system provided us with both legislative requirements and industry best practices to follow.
Choosing Listing Terms and Adjectives
The most difficult part of listing a new rental is often deciding which adjectives and listing terms to use to create the most buzz and interest around the property. Therefore, we turned to ChatGPT to provide us with some buzz-worthy listing terms. The system provided us with popular search terms to attract potential tenants.
Deciding the Layout
It’s commonly debated between Property Managers and agencies as to which layout is best for a rental listing. ChatGPT provided us with a recommended layout that combines both bullet points and descriptive paragraphs, aiming for a thorough yet visually appealing listing.
Creating a Rental Listing
It was now time to give the system the ultimate test of creating a rental listing from scratch. We provided ChatGPT with key features about the property and received a detailed and engaging rental listing in return.
Conclusion
Overall, we were overwhelmed with the amount of information that ChatGPT provided, making it easy to construct compelling rental listings. The system proved to be user-friendly and helpful in streamlining the listing creation process. However, it's always important to conduct your own research and fact-check everything. While ChatGPT is a good tool for inspiration, the human touch behind every listing is what truly makes it unique!
