The world of online real estate listings is plagued by a major issue - inappropriate use of images with logos or watermarks. Our proprietary technology at HelloData.ai effectively identifies, tags, and flags images with non-conforming watermarks and logos. Using the latest breakthroughs in computer vision, our unique watermark model spots images and videos containing artificially added watermarks, logos, and text overlays.
Most real estate companies generate a ton of data through listings, purchase & sale agreements, market studies, site inspections, etc… the list goes on. Large volumes of data can be very powerful for analysis, but in real estate, this data tends to be locked in emails, PDF documents, and Excel models. It’s essentially unusable, unless the data can be extracted in a consistent way. With recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), however, it is becoming significantly easier for real estate companies to unlock the value of their data.
