In February 2026, Redfin deployed a dedicated app inside OpenAI's ChatGPT platform, allowing users to search for homes, explore neighborhoods, and ask housing-related questions through natural conversation — directly within ChatGPT rather than on the Redfin website or app.
Details
The ChatGPT app allows users to search listings, compare neighborhoods, and analyze market trends through back-and-forth dialogue within ChatGPT, pulling live MLS data. It builds on Redfin's existing Conversational Search technology. A predecessor ChatGPT plugin launched in April 2023 but was temporarily deactivated by OpenAI in June 2023 following Fair Housing concerns; it was later restored. The February 2026 app is available to ChatGPT web and iOS users. Redfin positioned the launch as meeting consumers where they increasingly start information searches — on AI platforms rather than traditional websites.
