Zillow is creating a ChatGPT plugin for real estate searches

Zillow®, the most visited real estate website in the United States, has developed a new ChatGPT plugin for real estate. With the new ChatGPT plugin, Zillow is testing new ways for customers to find and buy a home. Users who activate the Zillow plugin in ChatGPT can ask questions about real estate offers based on details such as location, price range, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and receive direct links to offers on Zillow that match their preferences.

Zillow announced the launch of the Zillow ChatGPT plugin, which provides users with a new way to discover real estate offers. Users who activate the plugin can use conversational language to request specific real estate offers or to discuss the types of homes they are interested in buying or renting, including location, price range, number of bedrooms and bathrooms. The Zillow plugin then retrieves relevant information from Zillow's extensive database of real estate offers. The Zillow ChatGPT plugin provides users with a new way to discover real estate offers. The plugin will be available to a limited number of ChatGPT users today, with broader access expected in the future.

"Generative artificial intelligence is changing the way we search for information. At Zillow, we started using AI and machine learning with the launch of Zestimate® in 2006, and then introduced personalized recommendations and natural language search - meaning we're well-positioned to help customers find and buy a home in a new way," said David Beitel, CTO of Zillow Group. "As the first major residential real estate marketplace to incorporate advanced AI-driven search into the home selection process, we understand its tremendous potential and look forward to developing even more technology innovations using OpenAI in the future."

Zillow is building a universal residential real estate app that offers customers a single, connected experience across all of their real estate needs: buying, selling, financing and renting. It launched natural language search on its apps and sites in January, and this ChatGPT plugin is the latest example of Zillow's use of technology to make it easier for customers to find and buy a home.

The Zillow ChatGPT plugin is now in the alpha testing phase, giving Zillow the opportunity to improve it based on user interaction. OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, has implemented security measures to minimize inaccuracies and prevent inappropriate responses, but users should keep in mind that sometimes the experience may not work exactly as expected.
