Find an apartment and keep track of every listing

“Apartment hunting is endless tabs, missed listings and unanswered messages.”

AI can filter listings to your must-haves, track them in a sheet, draft messages to landlords and line up viewings. Watch for scams: never pay a deposit before seeing the place.

Fix it yourself in 3 steps

Write your must-haves: area, budget, rooms, move-in date, pets, commute.
Ask the AI to filter listings into a sheet and draft a short inquiry for each good one.
Send inquiries yourself, track replies in the sheet, and book viewings.

Copy this prompt

Help me find a rental: [area], max [rent], [rooms], move in [date], [pets], commute to [place] under [minutes]. Put matching listings in a table with link, price, size, and red flags (too-good price, deposit before viewing). Draft one short inquiry message per listing. Don't send messages or pay anything — stop after the table and drafts.

Fill in the [brackets]. Each prompt says when the AI should stop, so it doesn't wander off.
