Bayut expands conversational property discovery with new AI search

Bayut, the UAE’s leading property portal, has introduced conversational property discovery through its new AI Search feature. This innovative tool allows users to find homes by simply describing their needs in everyday language, rather than using predefined filters. Users can articulate their preferences based on lifestyle, budget, and priorities, and then adjust them as they explore options through ongoing conversation.

This development is part of Bayut's broader investment in AI-powered property discovery, including the Bayut app on ChatGPT and its AI property assistant, BayutGPT. BayutGPT has already seen over 345,000 unique interactions and 690,000 messages, assisting users in navigating the market and answering property-related queries. By allowing users to express their needs more naturally and refine them as they go, AI Search complements Bayut's existing search tools, helping consumers move from an initial idea to a focused shortlist more easily.

Muneeb Farrukh, vice president of product at Bayut, emphasized that AI is transforming how people interact with digital platforms, making property search simpler and more informed. Looking beyond consumer-facing applications, Bayut is also leveraging AI to support real estate professionals, improve service quality, and generate meaningful business intelligence.

The company's parent group, Dubizzle Group, operates 121 AI models, processing millions of predictions monthly across its platforms, which serve 20 million users. Bayut's AI initiatives aim to make the UAE property journey more transparent, personalized, and data-driven, benefiting both consumers and real estate professionals by providing intuitive access to relevant properties and market information.
