AI to Replace Realtors? (alien.top)

Hey everyone! Some friends and I got fed up with everything going on in real estate (realtor lawsuits, inflated commission rates, outdated systems, etc.) and decided to use AI to build our own better real estate agent and avoid paying 6% of our life savings every time we move 🤮.

Everyone we talk to is very interested in it, so we will be putting it out to the public on a rolling basis starting in January. I'm not going to add a link because that's not the point of this post.

This sub seems like the group of homeowners most forward thinking it terms of technology, so I wanted to: 1) give the opportunity to AMA about what we are building, and more importantly 2) ask what everyone's biggest problems have been selling/buying a home recently. What are your biggest technology sticking points when it comes to transactions?

              Wrong sub.
Generically saying “use AI” isn’t a refined business model. Large language models can generate text, and you can teach your model to spit out more and more informed text. You need legally defendable output though, so you can’t generically produce text output and call it good.
Everyone (but realtors) sees value in replacing realtors. Shoot your shot if you think you have real experience running a business. This one has quite a bit of insurance and legal intricacies, so don’t just “try it out”.
