Urbanimmersive Inc. (“Urbanimmersive”, the “Company” or “UI”) (TSX
VENTURE: UI) (OTCQB: UBMRF), a leading provider of 3D tour
solutions, today announced having integrated ChatGPT, a
state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) technology, with
their winning product UiMeet3D Avatar Greeting Bot available in all
its 3D tours subscription.
UiMeet3D is Urbanimmersive's proprietary
technology that enables viewers to engage in immersive, real-time
interactions with other 3D avatars (other visitors) within 3D
virtual tours. Each 3D avatar, represented by the viewer's webcam
video streaming, creates a captivating experience that transcends
traditional 3D tour limitations, fostering dynamic communication
and visual interactions among viewers. UiMeet3D Avatar Greeting Bot
on its part is an optional virtual host emulating another person
avatar with the specific job of generating leads by greeting each
visitors entering a 3D tour, performing simple tasks and chat
prompts. Since its introduction in 2021, UiMeet3D and its Greeting
Bot has proven to be an effective lead generation tool.
The integration of ChatGPT will now enable
UiMeet3D Greeting Bot answering questions related to the
environments limited to curated information selected by the
clients. Urbanimmersive's 3D tours come equipped with a wealth of
information, including property descriptions, neighborhood details,
and 2D floor plans. With the client's content permission, the
UiMeet3D Greeting Bot can utilize this information to provide
viewers with answers to a wide range of questions, such as the
number of rooms, square footage, nearby schools and public
transportation options, and agent services and experience.
Additionally, as announced in our press release
in 2021 (Urbanimmersive's Leveraging of its Flagship Patent Pending
UiMeet3D Avatar Product and Building of Largest Behavioral Database
of 3D Real Estate Tours for Next Generation of 3D Chatbot Machine
Learning), Urbanimmersive has been working on creating a custom
dataset that combines relevant information about their 3D tours
with user behavior data, such as navigation patterns, areas where
users spend more time, and frequently asked questions. In the
coming months, this data will be used to fine-tune ChatGPT
integration, enabling the AI to better understand user preferences
and interests within the context of the 3D tour.
By leveraging ChatGPT in conjunction with this
Urbanimmersive’s proprietary sophisticated user behavior analysis,
Urbanimmersive aims to equip the UiMeet3D Avatar Greeting Bot with
a highly personalized and intuitive interactive experience for
viewers exploring its 3D environments and provide highly
informative guided tour of home while significantly enhancing the
platform's lead generation capabilities for real estate
professionals and local businesses.
This innovative approach to 3D tours is poised
to reshape the real estate marketing industry, transforming 3D
tours from simple interactive visual content marketing tools into
powerful AI lead generation solutions that address realtors'
pressing needs.
A basic UiMeet3D version is already included in
all marketing monthly membership subscriptions offered by
Urbanimmersive’s franchises. The AI-powered Greeting Bot will be
added as an option and will be offered with a different set of
tools, limits and functions. The monetization of this integration
would translate into new revenue streams for Urbanimmersive in a
near future while for now is expected to boost already popular
All-In-One Marketing Monthly Membership offered by the Company’s
franchises.
In addition to the real estate market, the
integration of ChatGPT with UiMeet3D Avatar Greeting Bot opens up a
myriad of possibilities for other applications, such as guided
tours for local businesses, historical sites, and architectural
landmarks. Thanks to the integrated floor plan within
Urbanimmersive’s 3D tour, the UiMeet3D Avatar Greeting Bot can
provide contextual information about what users are seeing, guide
them to points of interest, and answer questions about
architectural details, or historical significance. This innovative
solution creates an immersive, informative, and engaging experience
for users, expanding the potential use cases for 3D tours across
various industries.
Ghislain Lemire, CEO of Urbanimmersive
commented: « We are excited to start working with this
groundbreaking AI technology into our 3D tours and offer it to our
clients within their monthly subscriptions. Integrating ChatGPT
within UiMeet3D was a natural fit and a logical next step, as we
have been promoting and teaching our clients how to use our
Greeting Avatar Bot for a time now. We have also worked in parallel
on creating a viewer behavior big data set as we previously
announced which now turn to be highly valuable. For me, it makes no
doubt that going forward, businesses that will build a substantial
amount of organized and structured data set would be the one that
would leverage the most AI integration such as ChatGPT.
Furthermore, we are discovering new key
advantages that we had not anticipated before. Our 3D technology
incorporates floor plan software and data, meaning that the floor
plan is completely integrated within our 3D player, unlike our
competitors who often use external third-party software to draw 2D
floor plans. By having the floor plan details blended into each 3D
tour, our technology is further empowered for the use of ChatGPT.
This integration provides a rich source of data that is added to
the floor plan for our Avatar Greeting Bot, significantly enhancing
its ability to offer a highly personalized and intuitive
interactive experience for viewers exploring our 3D
environments.
By combining the power of ChatGPT with our
UiMeet3D Avatar Greeting Bot, we are transforming the landscape of
real estate marketing and setting a new standard for lead
generation. In fact, we believe that this integration represents
the future of lead generation in real estate and the way 3D tours
will be used going forward. Think of it like a 24/7 open house with
a full-time assistance to greet all visitors and provide them
curated data to convert them into leads. »
The AI-powered UiMeet3D Greeting Bot will first
be rolled out to a limited group of selected clients, allowing the
Company to monitor its behavior and measure conversion metrics.
During this period, the Company will work with real estate industry
professionals, consultants and partners to ensure that the
AI-powered UiMeet3D Greeting Bot operates within the real estate
brokerage regulations, does not infringe upon the exclusive rights
of agents and comply with the real estate advertising rules.
Following this warm-up period, the feature will be made available
to all clients' monthly subscribers. The Company believes it is
well-positioned to capitalize on the transformation of 3D tour
applications and that the strategic combination of ChatGPT and the
UiMeet3D Avatar Greeting Bot further solidifies its position as the
leading innovator within the 3D tours industry. The Company's
commitment to advancing the capabilities of its technology,
combined with its dedication to providing unparalleled customer
service, reinforces its position as the go-to solution for real
estate professionals and local businesses looking to take their
marketing efforts to the next level.
