Have you checked out Sesame AI – the latest leap in conversational AI? It speaks naturally, responds instantly, and even interrupts like a human. It's by far the most realistic AI voice we've heard. But is it useful?
Not yet.
Right now, because it’s so close to having a conversation with a human, it can be a mind-blowing experience. You should check it out.
Unfortunately, Sesame has no real-world utility for real estate agents, at least for now. Yes, it feels revolutionary, but what does it actually do? Unlike AI tools that streamline workflows, automate tasks, or generate insights, Sesame is about the experience of talking to AI rather than making your work life easier.
Sesame can’t make decisions, take actions, or provide insights beyond rudimentary responses.
It has no long-term memory and no real personalization. Right now, Sesame AI focuses on producing incredibly fluid moment-in-time conversations.
Will Sesame lead to something valuable? Likely – read this post by Marilyn Wilson for her take.
But the value of AI in real estate is when it integrates into existing workflows: helping you manage your emails and text, set meetings, control smart devices, or, eventually, help complete real-world, repeatable, and mundane tasks. Sesame doesn’t do any of that. It just talks.
Sesame is paving the way for something bigger: the humanization of AI. This is a proof of concept that shows where conversational AI is headed.
It’s making AI more natural and approachable, so Sesame AI is a step in the right direction.
But for now, it's a cool party trick.
When it can act as well as it talks, that’s when it becomes relevant to real estate agents. (-Kevin)
