LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

REALTOR.COM

🏠 Realtor.com launches home search app inside ChatGPT

The Rundown: Realtor.com partnered with OpenAI to let homebuyers search listings, compare neighborhoods, and estimate affordability directly inside ChatGPT.

The details:

• Users ask conversational questions about budget, commute times, and school districts

• Targets the "pre-search" phase when buyers are deciding where and whether to buy

• Listing data stays protected and is not used for model training

Why it matters: Buyers are forming opinions inside chatbots before they ever open a portal. If your listings aren't optimized for AI search, you're invisible during the earliest stage of the funnel.

SHILO

Shilo launches Signals: AI personality assessment built from your calls

The Rundown: Shilo's new Signals feature creates DISC behavioral profiles for agents by analyzing their actual phone calls, not self-reported questionnaires.

The details:

• After about 10 calls, Signals builds a personality profile with confidence scores

• Coaching recommendations match each agent's natural communication style

• Built on 21+ years of talk-time data across 7,000+ agents

• Free for all current Shilo customers

Pro tip: If you manage a team, this replaces generic training with personalized coaching. An agent who avoids conflict gets different guidance than one who's naturally assertive.

CASE STUDY

How RE/MAX Advantage Nashville built an AI call stack

The Rundown: Broker-owners Gary Ashton and Debra Beagle combined two AI tools to cover missed calls and train agents simultaneously.

The setup:

• Speculo Remi handles inbound lead calls and qualifies prospects

• Shilo grades calls, runs role-play practice, and generates coaching

• New agents do a minimum of two Shilo role-play calls per week

The result: The team captures leads that previously went to voicemail while building agent skills in parallel.

Get started: Speculo (speculo.ai) handles voice. Shilo (shilo.ai) handles coaching.
