Zillow Launches ChatGPT Plugin for Real Estate Searches
Zillow, the real estate marketplace, has launched a new ChatGPT plugin to help users find real estate listings using conversational language. The plugin uses AI-powered search capabilities to retrieve information from Zillow's extensive database of real estate listings based on user input such as location, price range, and number of bedrooms and bathrooms.
The ChatGPT plugin is currently accessible to a limited number of users and will be rolled out to a broader audience in the future. The plugin is part of Zillow's strategy to provide a seamless and connected experience to its customers across all their real estate needs, including buying, selling, financing, and renting.
David Beitel, Chief Technology Officer of Zillow, commented, "Generative AI is changing the way people search for information. 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 is among the first companies to leverage the capabilities of OpenAI's ChatGPT, which uses natural language processing to provide a more conversational search experience. The alpha phase of the plugin will allow Zillow to refine and enhance the experience based on user interactions. OpenAI has implemented safeguards to prevent inappropriate responses and minimize inaccuracies, but users should keep in mind that the experience might not work exactly as expected at times.
This ChatGPT plugin is the latest example of how Zillow is using technology to make it easier for customers to find and get into their next home. Zillow has been incorporating AI-powered solutions such as personalized recommendations, natural language search, and computer-vision-powered rich media experiences in its product offerings in recent years.
