I wonder why there isn't much for real estate in this package.

Are they perhaps working on a totally different real estate project. I am in that space and very nervous about it getting wiped out by anthropic or openAI.

To be honest, I am not sure why they still haven't make a big play for that industry.

The biggest issue in the real estate world is dealing with local state, county, and municipality governments and each one's unique ordinances, etc. While I think LLMs will be great at pulling data from a variety of disparate sources (ie, records databases), or even automating interacting with them, they are not going to be great at solving the problem whose solution is "this is the person in the county court clerks office you need to talk to."
I’d guess they have some kind of analytics telling them what kind of questions are being asked.

It seems to me that heavily gate kept professions/knowledge will go first. As those tend to be extensive opinions to get.

It would be silly to assume they're not making a real estate product, lol.
