Cole is your new Property Search expert

Cole has no property database or listings feed of its own. It searches the web the way it does for any research: give it the area, budget and must-haves, and it looks through public listing pages and articles, then sends you what it found with links. Which sites come up depends on what search returns for your city, so results are best where listings are public.

Be specific, the way you would brief an agent. For example: "Two-bedroom flats to rent in Sathorn or Silom, under 35,000 baht a month, near a BTS station, with a gym. Send me a table." Cole applies your criteria when it reads the results. Add or drop a requirement in the next message and it works from the same list.

Not on its own. Cole does not email or message listing agents, and on WhatsApp, Telegram and LINE it can only write in the chat you are in. You get the links and whatever contact details the listing shows. On a paid plan you can ask Cole to phone a number you give it, in the United States, the United Kingdom or Thailand, for example to ask whether a flat is still available. It confirms the number and the purpose with you first, and sends you a short result and the transcript after the call.

Ask for the shortlist as a table, a spreadsheet, a PDF or a web page link that puts the places side by side. Prices, sizes and photos come from the listings themselves, and Cole does not visit or verify a property, so confirm price and availability with the agent before you decide.

Cole can watch a listings page and message you when it changes, or when it contains a word or a price you choose. A page watch checks on its own, from every five minutes to once a day, and lasts seven days unless you ask for longer, up to 30 days. Each page check uses a tenth of a credit.

Yes. Flatmates or a family can tag Cole in a WhatsApp, Telegram, LINE or Slack group and everyone sees the results. Sites that need you to sign in are different: Cole's browser only works in a private chat, on a paid plan.

On a paid plan, in a private chat, Cole can open a listing site in its own browser and sign in with a login you save in your Vault. Google, Facebook and Apple sign-in do not work in Cole's browser, so the site needs its own email and password login.

Yes. Search works for any city, and Cole can convert prices between currencies so a shortlist from abroad is easy to compare. Ask for the table in the currency you think in.

There is no fixed price per request: Cole uses credits from your plan based on the work involved. The Free plan gives you 150 credits once, with no card. Paid plans start at $19 a month with 2,000 credits.
