Apify AI Agent Actor: Real Estate Search Assistant ## Overview The Real Estate Search Assistant is an autonomous AI agent built on Apify that processes user requests for rental properties and generates a structured report. Given a user's input (e.g., "Searching for a 2-bedroom apartment in San Francisco, CA, with a monthly rent between $2000 and $4000, and preferably featuring amenities such as parking and a gym"), the agent extracts key criteria, searches relevant real estate listings, and outputs a multi-format report. ## Features - Autonomous Request Processing: Understands user preferences from natural language input. - Asynchronous Web Scraping: Fetches real-time rental listings from multiple sources efficiently. - AI-Powered Filtering: Selects properties matching the specified criteria. - Multi-Format Reporting: Outputs search results in Markdown, HTML, and JSON formats for flexibility. ## Workflow 1. User Input Processing: Extracts key search parameters such as location, budget, number of bedrooms, and amenities. 2.
