Our OpenAI integration allows you to harness the power of AI in your property reports. By using the latest ChatGPT-4o feature, you can create any prompt and embed the output into any part of a property report. This means you can easily add detailed location descriptions, making your reports more comprehensive and informative.
💡This is a Premium feature; please contact our Sales Team for more info.
NOTE: To use this option you will need your own paid-for Open AI account. Find out more here: GTP-4o.
