When generating property descriptions using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, additional prompts can be added to tailor the response from the AI

This enhanced functionality allows you to suggest specific information about the property to be included (that might not be covered by the standard property attributes) - it also allows prompts about the length and style of the descriptions to be suggested

The ability to use AI for property descriptions was introduced in version 12.173, as outlined here:

  • Use the Additional prompts field to enter suggestions for the AI
    For example: Include that the flat is 1 mile from the train station

  • Use the Description options to choose which descriptions should include these prompts
    For example, to apply it to both descriptions, leave set to Both and click Generate
    Or, to only apply it to the brief description, select Brief then click Generate

  • Click Generate
    Information about proximity to the train station is now included in both descriptions

3. How additional prompts can be used

The additional prompts functionality allows suggestions for property features to be made, it can also be used to adjust the style and length of descriptions - see examples below
