In September 2026, SeLoger, a well-known French real estate platform, introduced what it claims to be the first real estate search tool powered by artificial intelligence (AI). This new feature allows users to describe their real estate needs in natural language—either by typing or speaking—rather than using traditional search filters. The AI then translates these descriptions into specific search criteria. According to Anaïs Lesueur, SeLoger's marketing director, people often don't think in terms of filters when searching for a property. The AI essentially acts as a bridge, converting everyday language into the more structured format that search engines typically require. SeLoger highlights that it is the first French real estate portal to have developed this kind of technology internally. The AI-powered search tool is accessible through SeLoger's website and its iOS and Android apps, either from the homepage or during the search process. Users can input a sentence like "2-bedroom apartment with an open kitchen in Lyon for less than 300,000 euros," and the AI will process the query. It analyzes each word, identifying elements like price, location, number of rooms, or specific features, and then automatically applies the corresponding filters. To test the reliability of the AI tool, the website Clubic conducted two separate searches. The first query was, "Small house with 3 bedrooms and garden for less than 350,000 euros within 10 kilometers of Disneyland Paris." The result was no listings. Upon reviewing the applied filters, it became clear that the AI had misinterpreted "10 kilometers" as a maximum surface area of 10 square meters. It also failed to recognize "Disneyland Paris" as a specific location, instead using a very broad search area: "Paris, Île-de-France." In the second attempt, Clubic specified three exact city names: "small house with 3 bedrooms and garden for less than 350,000 euros in Chessy, Serris, or Bailly-Romainvilliers." The AI correctly identified the three communes, applied the right price limit and bedroom count, and found two matching listings. This suggests that the tool performs better when given clear, specific references like city names rather than vague distance-based parameters. While the AI-powered search is still in its early stages, SeLoger's decision to offer this option without traditional filters may be a risky move. The success of the feature will depend on how well it evolves and meets user expectations over time.
