OpenAI has completely re-imagined how we will use ChatGPT

I only said the other day that Claude was rapidly becoming the leading ‘man’ in my life, and I may have spoken too soon.

Overnight, OpenAI implemented several announcements made at its first-ever Dev Day.

This morning, for me anyway, ChatGPT menu is gone, replaced by a single streamlined interface.

But the announcements go well beyond this, changing the game entirely with the ability for users to build highly customised apps (GPTs) and assistants based on OpenAI products.

Here’s some of what went down as best as I can explain:

• The new version, colloquially called GPT-4 Turbo, has been launched with knowledge up to April 2023 (vs 2021). I have it, and it seems much faster than the old one!

• It’s supposed to be more accurate over long context documents (which was my minor grizzle vs Claude), but I still can’t summarise a long YouTube video yet.

• “GPTs” are little custom chatbots you can create with OpenAI tools and data and keep private or sell on a marketplace. This is the biggie. It feels like the Apple App Store all over again, meaning anyone can build and potentially profit from sharing specialised GPTs (get ready for another wave of new apps and innovation!)

• If you build a GPT and get sued for copyright because, OpenAI will cover legal costs through a product called Copyright Shield.

• A vision API has also been introduced to generate and analyse images, huge new potential applications in automated data extraction, healthcare, monitoring and the like.

At the moment, I’m still wrapping my head around this update - especially as it concerns the real estate industry.

For today, I thought the prompt of the day could be to ask ChatGPT for some ideas for GPTs for the real estate industry.

As you might expect, the list is long. Here is ChatGPTs response:

The advancements in AI models, including GPT-4, open up many opportunities for real estate agents to enhance their business and customer service. Here are some ideas:

1. Automated Listing Descriptions: Use AI to generate compelling and detailed descriptions of property listings that highlight unique features and attract potential buyers.

2. Lead Qualification Chatbots: Implement AI-driven chatbots on real estate websites to engage visitors 24/7, answer common inquiries, and qualify leads before they reach a human agent.

3. Market Analysis Reports: AI can help analyze trends and generate comprehensive market analysis reports, providing clients with up-to-date and relevant information for decision-making.

4. Virtual Property Tours: Integrate AI with virtual reality (VR) to create interactive property tours that potential buyers can navigate from their homes.

5. Personalized Email Marketing: Utilize AI to personalize email communication to potential and current clients based on their preferences and behaviours.

6. AI-Powered CRM Systems: Employ AI-enhanced CRM systems to manage client interactions, predict client needs, and optimize follow-up strategies.

7. Predictive Analytics for Investment: Use AI to predict market trends, identify investment opportunities, and provide clients with data-driven investment advice.

8. Efficiency in Paperwork: Employ AI to automate the completion of routine paperwork, contracts, and agreements, reducing the time spent on administrative tasks.

9. Language Translation Services: Utilize AI for real-time language translation to serve international clients effectively, broadening the market reach.

10. Social Media Management: Use AI tools to manage social media content, analyze engagement, and optimize posting schedules for maximum impact.

11. Enhanced Customer Service: Implement AI systems to provide instant customer service, answering questions about listings, scheduling viewings, and providing mortgage information.

12. Image Enhancement: Use AI to enhance property photos automatically, adjusting lighting, and composition to create more visually appealing listings.

13. Sentiment Analysis: Apply AI to analyze client feedback and reviews to improve service and address any concerns proactively.

14. Training and Education: AI can be used to create personalized training programs for agents, updating them on the latest laws, technologies, and best practices.

15. Smart Home Integration: Advise clients on the latest smart home technology using AI to demonstrate potential home automation and security features.

16. Sustainability Analytics: AI can assist in evaluating the sustainability and energy efficiency of properties, becoming increasingly important to buyers.

17. Property Price Valuation Models: Implement AI algorithms to provide more accurate property valuations based on a wide range of factors, beyond just location and square footage.

Lots to think about and unpack today, so I’ll leave it there.

Happy Hunting 🚀
