Restb.ai partners with Lundy to perform voice searches for real estate
Two artificial intelligence startups are teaming up to make searches across multiple listing services (MLSs) more accessible to the visually impaired.
The combined technology of Restb.ai And Lundy allows users to search listings via voice commands. Restb.ai uses AI to produce computer vision for the real estate industry, while Lundy offers a voice-activated real estate search platform.
Together, the two startups will provide a voice search option for agents, buyers and sellers. The new product is being offered to MLSs, and any MLS already using Restb.ai’s tagging technology will receive a free upgrade to one of Lundy’s “Finding Homes Pro” features.
“Our mission is to provide the most comprehensive search engine available through voice to ensure the homebuying journey is accessible to everyone,” Lundy CEO Justin Lundy said in a statement. “By joining forces with Restb.ai and leveraging their market-leading computer vision technology, we are dramatically increasing our efforts at Lundy to make voice search a core feature for every MLS. Together we are setting a new standard for accessibility and user-friendly technology.”
Restb.ai’s technology is an image tagging system that automatically analyzes property photos and provides visual insights. Lundy says it goes beyond a simple screen reader by offering natural language home searches that aren’t interrupted by display ads or pop-up screens.
“MLSs are at the forefront of delivering practical AI to hundreds of thousands of real estate professionals across the country,” said Nathan Brannen, chief product officer at Restb.ai, in a statement. “By partnering with Lundy, we are accelerating the momentum of AI adoption in the industry, allowing agents to match homebuyers and sellers to deliver the perfect home with unparalleled speed and precision.
“This partnership will profoundly impact the way agents serve their clients, bringing more AI innovation to the forefront of real estate.”
In April, Lundy extended his partnership with Stellar MLS.
