Transactional vs Emotional Search – Will AI Impact Buying a Dream?

Searching for a home has never been purely transactional. Filters and price ranges get you to a shortlist, but the decision is made on feel, it takes months rather than minutes, and it is rarely made alone: partners, children, parents and friends all have a say. Now AI agents and conversational search promise to do the looking for us. This session is an open discussion around one question: will they replace the way we currently search, or are we jumping at shadows? Can an AI hold a search that unfolds over months and answers to more than one person, or will it only ever own the shortlist?
