Fotocasa Launches 'brAIn' AI Chatbot to Answer Property Queries

October 1, 2024

The Spanish real estate portal Fotocasa has announced the launch of 'Fotocasa brAIn', its chatbot designed to answer all manner of user queries about real estate.

Rather than being linked to its homepage, Fotocasa brAIn is available via the portal's blog site 'Fotocasa Life' and is designed to help users with general housing queries rather than listing discovery.

According to a blog post announcing the launch, the new tool has been built using the technology behind Chat GPT  and can answer queries related to things like property taxes, renovations, subsidies, paperwork and household bills.

Fotocasa is owned by the Oslo-based classifieds operator Adevinta and competes primarily with idealista and Pisos.com.

Online Marketplaces has been tracking all portal AI announcements since 2019. The pace with which real estate portals around the world have been announcing their experiments with AI applications has increased dramatically over the last two years with no one particular application of the technology so far emerging as a 'must have'.
