Alto launches AI-powered property descriptions

Alto, the market-leading estate agency software and part of Houseful, has rolled out a new AI-powered smart tool to simplify creating property descriptions for agents.

The smart tool, which is free for all Alto users, generates content which is relevant to the property using AI, and also allows agents to highlight key features of their choice that could appeal to potential buyers such as local schools, mature gardens or transport links.

It takes a matter of seconds to generate a property description using the tool and this can save a significant amount of time for agents, particularly for those who can spend a sizeable portion of their day generating property descriptions for new listings.

Easily accessible via the ‘Property Summary’ tab in Alto, the tool has received an overwhelmingly positive response from agents since it was rolled out to 100% last month. 80% of Alto’s customer base have seen and used the feature, while 73% of these agents find this feature ‘useful’. There are also now listings on Zoopla as a result which have their property descriptions powered by Alto’s AI tool.

The roll-out of AI-powered property descriptions on Alto follows the recent launch of free Property Valuation Reports. Improved lettings and sales progression functionality will also be launching soon on Alto, while work is also underway to improve Alto’s reporting capabilities.

Riccardo Dawson, Chief Operating Officer at Alto and Houseful said:

“It’s been brilliant to see the positive reaction from our customers to this timely feature, which should be a real time saver for agents. This is just the beginning for AI-powered property descriptions on Alto, with much more to come in the coming months around elements like tone of voice.”
