OpenAI, the leading artificial intelligence (AI) company, recently announced the launch of plugins that could potentially revolutionize the industry of real estate. These plugins, developed by Zillow and integrated into the popular’ChatGPT’ platform, were developed for the purpose of assisting people in the search for a new home. Now, these users can access new and fresh sources of knowledge that are tailored specifically for them, by just talking with the chatbot.
The brand new aimed at real estate agents is currently in testing phase, involving a small handful of users. Working in a very natural setting, they are able to communicate with the ChatGPT and obtain search results that match their expectations, basing it on such criteria as location, cost or number of bedrooms. After these trials are successfully resolved, the idea is to offer a wider access to the plugin.
What Zillow hopes to eventually develop is a type of platform capable of forming a unique and complete experience for buying or selling a property – a sort of ‘super app’. To come closer to this goal, the integration of OpenAI’s technology has made it possible for the users to make use of a dialogue system to communicate with ChatGPT. This allows them to make natural language queries which, in turn, lead to informed and adapted responses.
Besides real estate, OpenAI has also released plugins for other large-scale providers such as Expedia, Instacart, Kayak, OpenTable, and Slack. By using its two primary plugins – a web browser and a code interpreter – a large part of the web can be traversed in a smarter and more efficient way.
OpenAI is no stranger to AI and robotics, as it has became one of the most spoken-of companies in this field. Their ChatGPT platform has already allowed many users to interact with the AI in a variety of ways and it is evident that, with such revolutionary plugins, the horizon has yet to be explored.
Founder, entrepreneur and investor in artificial intelligence, AI, robotics and automation, Sam Altman serves as Chairman of OpenAI’s board of directors. Altman is currently managing partner at Y Combinator, which invested in OpenAI and introduced Altman to this fascinating and constantly evolving field.
Overall, these plugins and integrations which OpenAI has been working on have made it possible to traverse the web in a smarter and more efficient way. With its particular focus on real estate, there is no doubt that it will potentially make for a new type of smarter virtual real estate agent.
