Primelocation founder launches AI home search tool for agents

Property industry veteran Mal McCallion has helped launch a new artificial intelligence (AI) property search tool that agents can embed in their own website.

His latest business, ModelProp AI, has launched AILSA (Artificial Intelligence Local Services Assistant), which is described as the UK's first natural language search AI Assistant for properties. 

Consumers can ask natural language questions such as "Do you have any properties for sale near an outstanding school?" or "What's available to let within 20 minutes’ walk of the train station?". The assistant provides accurate answers and links to book viewings – and market appraisals.

Without the need for costly website modifications, estate agents can easily add AILSA to their existing platforms. It is made accessible through a simple button on their website, as well as through WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and other popular platforms.

It costs an agent £99 plus VAT per month for a company so there isn’t a charge for each branch.

McCallion, who helped launch both Primelocation and was Zoopla’s first sales director, said:"We've spent this year looking at how AI can genuinely help quality estate agents to win more market share, strengthen fees, and cut costs. 

“With AILSA, we've created something unique that behaves, understands and sounds exactly like you – in tone of voice, locality experience and property knowledge.

“This is a pivotal moment in technology and every single agent can benefit from knowing more about AI – and how it can help them win more market share, strengthen fees and cut costs.

“ModelProp AI is already working with great agents to create significant local advantages over their competitors – and we’ve got a lot of other AI products and services in development too.”

To explain more about AI and its benefits, ModelProp AI is hosting a free webinar titled "AI in EA: Win More Market Share and Cut Costs" today at 12:30.
