NoBroker's AI tech offers a broker-free property experience

April 21, 2019

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technology have made the real estate industry their home in recent years. Thanks to the nature of the industry, brokers and intermediaries are continuously searching for new and more efficient ways for a tenant to look and buy or rent a house. In India specifically, brokers are incredibly popular in the sector.

Today, it is one of the leading data-driven real estate companies in India, with over 1 lakh (1 million)  properties being posted over the past month. The website has also introduced various AI-based products such as Rent-o-meter, livability score and transit score to enable a democratic house search for consumers.

While these platforms had the branding of the companies offering them, they were just a website who connected users with brokers with no real use of data.
