Automating Image Captions with AI

We've added a new feature to ListingAI that automatically adds captions to your MLS images. This is a game changer for creating your listings faster and easier. This is how it works:

Example of the ListingAI Image Caption UI

1. Create your listing in ListingAI

To do this visit ListingAI.co, and either open an existing Listing or create a new one.

When creating a listing you provide the property basics, and of course the images you want to add captions to. Expect this step to take you 2-5 minutes, the more detail the better but you'll find the AI does a great job even with very minimal information.

2. Set your caption preferences

You have two main controls to set your caption preferences:

  1. Caption length: This allows you to choose how long you want the caption to be.
  2. Emojis: You can choose whether the AI should include emojis in the caption.

It's worth noting the other "Writing Style" options do influence the writing style of the caption, you can read more about those settings on our blog about Writing Styles.

3. Click "Generate"

Once you're ready, click the Generate button under the Image Captions tab and let the system do its thing.

4. Enjoy your new captions

You can re-generate captions as many times as you want, and you can also edit them manually if you'd like.

Why we created this feature

Through our extensive collaboration with real estate agents, we've identified a significant challenge in the listing creation process: the time-consuming task of adding captions to property images. While not universally required by all Multiple Listing Services (MLS), when it is mandatory, it proves to be a considerable drain on agents' time and resources.

This often-overlooked manual process can significantly slow down the listing creation workflow. Many agents find themselves spending valuable hours crafting captions for each image, taking time away from other crucial aspects of their business.

Recognizing this pain point, we've developed this innovative feature to streamline your workflow. Our goal is to allow you to create compelling, captioned listings more efficiently than ever before. By automating this process, we aim to give you back valuable time that you can reinvest in other crucial aspects of your real estate business.

With our AI-powered caption generation, you can now:

  • Generate professional, engaging captions in seconds
  • Ensure consistency across all your listings
  • Customize captions to highlight key features
  • Save hours on each listing you create

We believe this feature will not only save you time but also enhance the quality of your listings, potentially leading to faster sales and more satisfied clients.
