    Bayut Launches Property Search App on ChatGPT in UAE First

    The Bayut App on ChatGPT allows users to discover listings by simply describing what they are looking for, including location, budget, size, bedroom count or property type. This creates a more intuitive search experience for buyers, tenants and casual browsers, allowing them to begin their property journey in the same conversational environments where they are already asking questions, comparing options and exploring decisions.

    “At Bayut, we have always viewed innovation as a way to solve real user problems and create more efficient property journeys. Search behavior is evolving, and people are increasingly using AI-powered platforms to ask questions, explore options and make decisions. With the Bayut App on ChatGPT, we are making it easier for users to search for properties in a way that feels natural, intuitive and aligned with how they discover information today,” said Haider Khan, CEO of Bayut and dubizzle.

    AI-Led Experiences Meet Global Standards

    The milestone is significant given that apps on ChatGPT are subject to OpenAI’s app submission and approval process, with a strong emphasis on real-world utility, intuitive conversational experiences and clear user value. Bayut’s availability as an app on ChatGPT reflects the relevance of property search as a natural use case for conversational AI, and also points to Bayut’s advanced credibility within the global tech ecosystem.

    For Bayut, this marks more than a product launch. It demonstrates how a UAE-born platform is building technology that meets global standards for AI-led discovery, while bringing meaningful innovation to one of the country’s most important sectors.

    “As a UAE-born platform, we are also proud to contribute to the country’s forward-looking AI agenda. The UAE has created an environment where technology, innovation and ambition can thrive, and this launch is another step in bringing practical AI-led experiences into everyday sectors such as real estate,” added Khan.

    New Discovery Pathway for Properties

    For real estate professionals and clients, the launch also creates another discovery pathway for listings on Bayut, helping properties reach users in emerging AI-led search environments. This reinforces Bayut’s commitment to supporting its partners through technology, visibility and user-first innovation.

    The Bayut App on ChatGPT is available globally across desktop web, mobile browsers and the ChatGPT app, with support for both light and dark modes.

    As the UAE continues to accelerate its artificial intelligence capabilities, Bayut is bringing this vision into the real estate sector through practical, user-focused technology that makes property search more accessible, intelligent and seamless.

    The launch comes as Dubai’s property market evolves into a mature investment destination, with technology playing an increasingly central role in how buyers and tenants discover and evaluate properties. The integration with ChatGPT positions Bayut at the forefront of AI-driven property search, complementing broader market trends that include sustained demand across residential and commercial segments.

    Dubai Property Market Rebounds to 99% Activity in 51 Days

    Dubai’s real estate market has delivered a historic start to 2026, with first-quarter transactions reaching AED252 billion ($68.6 billion), marking a 31% increase compared to the same period last year, according to Dubai Land Department data released on May 11, 2026.

    The sector demonstrated remarkable recovery speed following regional geopolitical events, with total active users across digital property platforms returning to 99% of baseline levels in just 51 days, according to data from Bayut and dubizzle.

    International Demand Remains Stable

    The distribution of traffic between domestic and international property seekers showed no significant shift during the recovery period, reinforcing Dubai’s position as a stable global investment destination. The United Kingdom, Germany, and India continue to lead international markets actively pursuing opportunities in the emirate.

    India and Germany demonstrated particular resilience, recording smaller traffic decreases than other major markets during regional uncertainty in early 2026. This sustained international interest, combined with robust local participation within the UAE, propelled total engagement back to near-complete recovery within less than two months.

    “The property market in Dubai is increasingly guided by knowledgeable participants who give priority to data rather than impulse. The current observation is a rational market that has recently finished its most successful quarter on record,” said Fibha Ahmed, Vice President of Property Sales at Bayut and dubizzle.

    Ahmed noted that the steady demand split between local and international parties demonstrates that global investors are utilizing digital transparency to manage short-term volatility, supported by a professionalized workforce and real-time transaction data.

    Service Quality Reaches New Standards

    Beyond transaction volume, service quality has achieved new benchmarks, with 82% of property seekers describing agent performance as “Strong” throughout the recovery period, according to platform data.

    Villas Drive Market Momentum

    Demand for both off-plan developments and premium ready properties continues to fuel market growth. Established communities like Dubai Hills Estate saw viewing activity for ready apartments surge to 123% of normal levels.

    Emerging locations including Mohammed Bin Rashid City and Dubai South recorded healthy recoveries, with views reaching 92% and 63% of baseline levels respectively. Villa communities designed for end-users became the city’s recovery engine, with DAMAC Lagoons recording a 186% surge in viewing activity.

    The combination of record-breaking Q1 growth and rapid post-tension recovery underscores Dubai’s institutional-grade market stability and its status as a critical destination for high-value global capital. The emirate’s recent visa policy changes and infrastructure investments continue to support sustained investor confidence across all property segments.
