n Oct. 6, Zillow announced a new real‑estate tool inside ChatGPT, offering users a pioneering way to start their home search on one of the world’s most popular AI platforms. The app lets people pose everyday questions—“What can I afford nearby?” “Show me homes with a big backyard.” “What’s renting in Seattle right now?”—and receive instant listings complete with photos, maps, and price data. From there, the interface directs users back to Zillow to book tours, contact agents, or explore financing options.

    David Beitel, Zillow’s CTO, said, “As conversational AI becomes a staple for simplifying daily tasks, we’re bringing that ease to the home‑buying process inside ChatGPT. Our aim is to make the journey feel intuitive and approachable. Partnering with OpenAI places Zillow at the forefront of generative‑AI adoption, building on years of work to streamline the path from search to door‑unlocking.”

    The launch aligns with OpenAI’s recent rollout that lets third‑party apps run inside ChatGPT, enabling natural‑language access. Alongside Zillow, Spotify, Booking.com, and Canva debuted their own integrations today. Zillow highlighted its status as an early partner, leveraging its brand, scale, and history of turning tech breakthroughs into consumer‑first products.

    The app retains Zillow’s familiar look and is powered by its housing‑insights engine, real‑time listings, and proprietary technology. Users see property photos, details, maps, pricing, and broker/MLS attribution, while scheduling, agent contact, and financing remain on Zillow’s platform.

    Available immediately, the tool covers most listing types—rentals, agent‑listed homes, owner‑listed properties—and will soon add new‑construction listings and immersive 3D tours, continuing Zillow’s nearly two‑decade leadership in real‑estate AI.
