Much of Zillow's confidence comes from its belief that it has earned its past success by being a consumer-focused, product-led company, which is a strategy executives plan to continue relying on in the future."
"While Zillow's critics may believe its extinction is imminent, Zillow executives point to the firm's recently announced app integration with ChatGPT. We take the strength of our brand and audience seriously, always looking for ways to meet consumer needs in an ever-evolving and competitive landscape, Wacksman said. Wacksman called the ChatGPT app integration another new doorway directly into our ecosystem, and compared it to Zillow being one of the first companies to build an application for mobile devices."
