Nice one! I would love if it could use coordinates too. Like, "Pool and outdoor shower near me" or "Flower garden with 1h commute to work <drop google marker>"

I know it's hard to figure out time depending on your transportation but at least that would not give me search results from the other side of the country.

We don't have the drop coordinates part, but you can ask it '...within 1 hour commute by [transport] of [location]' and then it will create a polygon of all the places that match that.

Improvement suggestion: Keep the search text in the search field when you show the results. The 'what are you looking for' box gets cleared when you show the results, it would be nicer if the search text was kept so that you could tweak it.

Thanks for the feedback. We're still working out the ideal way to manage the search, lots of trade-offs depending on what route you go. But there's definitely room for improvement.

Aye. https://www.zoopla.co.uk/

Yeah there are a couple big property portals. Zoopla mentioned above is the number 2 player, Rightmove is far and away #1

very nice, what models are you guys using?

travisleestreet · a year ago

Mainly a mix of Gemini Flash 1.5 and Flash 2.0, depending on the task.

It's strange that searches add a filter pill with a cross, but a new search just replaces all the filters. It would be great to iteratively build up filters.

Agreed, we're working on this type of additive search at the moment. Just did a bunch of user testing on it yesterday.

Hi, this looks really cool.

What LLM’s are you using ?

And how is this working “Parses every photo through an embeddings vector space so that people can search for whatever they want”

Thank you

travisleestreet · a year ago

For the image search portion specifically, we use Google’s embedding model. We then use vector search (https://cloud.google.com/alloydb/docs/ai/run-vector-similari...) to calculate the distance between the search phrase and pre-calculated embeddings for each image.

Then there’s a bit of ranking and scoring magic to build a results set.
