• •The platform uses BigQuery, Vertex AI, and Looker, with ~300 team members (a third of staff) actively using it
• •Vertex AI extracts metadata from property descriptions and images to auto-generate listing features and improve search accuracy
• •Gemini powers an AI feature that generates context-aware replies for estate agents responding to buyer/seller inquiries
• •A vendor scoring engine analyzes user behavior to predict homeowner likelihood, helping partners focus on high-conversion leads
• •An Automated Valuation Model (AVM) predicts sale and rental prices for every UK property monthly, using market trends and real-time property changes
