Just days after releasing a new custom AI feature which aims to help generate property descriptions and emails quicker, Street.co.uk says the product is proving popular with many of those operating in our industry – saving agents hundreds of hours of work and thousands of pounds with its ability to ‘revolutionise’ manual processes.
The estate agency software and CRM specialist says since its launch last week, Street AI has generated more than 2,800 emails and written or summarised in the region of 1,200 property descriptions, reclaiming, it says, a total of 743 hours of agents’ time – the equivalent of more than £11,100 in agent pay, the PropTech provider estimates.
Heather Staff, co-founder at Street.co.uk, firmly believes the product’s early success proves the importance and utility of AI in improving estate agency efficiency.
She said: “We are absolutely thrilled at the response to our AI feature and it is amazing to see the difference it is making.
“Street AI has broken records and is already having a tangible effect on the way agents work, marking a new era in estate agency and proving the importance of harnessing AI to propel your business to new heights.”
Is this just Street.co.uk just providing a frontend to ChatGPT?
I’m not being critical of them doing this, but if that’s what’s happening, why not be transparent about it?
Agents can then decide whether they want to get ChatGPT from Street.co.uk or maybe go direct to the source.

I can’t wait for our AI future… It’s going to be freaking awesome! (Queue the theme music from Blade Runner)
Soon I can imagine all of us wasting time by telling some idiot AI email generator what needs to be in an email. It will then generate a suitably worded and very lengthy email including the relevant info but seriously padded out to make it look like lots of effort went into it. It’s likely that the meaning of at least one of the important points will be dangerously vague.
We will then manually send the email
This will be received by the recipient who will pass it through an idiot AI email decipherer which will extract the info in short form, probably missing a point or two or misunderstanding something that has come across as vague.
So the sender will pay for a service to make things look better but will actually make it worse.
And the recipient will pay for a service to speed up their day which will make things worse.
Sounds brilliant to me!
Over the last year I have got rid of the following from my emails: “I hope this email finds you well”, “Many thanks for your kind assistance”, “I look forward to hearing from you…”, “Thanks (as a single line email as the very last in the chain)”, and many more.
I rarely if ever send group emails – Reply All is a complete nightmare.
I now keep it plain, simple and direct. I do re-read every email before I send it to make sure I’m not actively being rude and to make sure my spelling and grammar are as good as can be.
And in the last year not one person has been offended, upset or cross at me.
The absolute last thing that humanity needs is text descriptions for properties being written by an idiot AI who has never seen it.
Big tech and social media have assisted in the severe decline of mental health, the toxicity of human interactions and much more.
Nothing is getting better because of it. It is getting measurably worse.
And the reason is that we are not clever enough (on average) to cope.
Some of us can. Sounds great until you realise that many of those that can will try and take advantage of their ability.
