Zeme is a free AI apartment hunter you text. Tell it what you want — budget, neighborhoods, commutes, must-haves — and it finds matching apartments, keeps hunting 24/7, texts you the moment something new fits, and handles your inquiries when you find a place you like. It lives in your text messages — nothing to download.

Yes — completely. No subscription, no premium tier, and no fee at any point in your search.

Four markets, known block by block: New York City (all five boroughs), Miami, the Bay Area, and Southern California. That's why you can say “north of Grand Street” or “under 30 minutes to work” and get an answer.

to start. Your messages open with Zeme ready to go — say what you're looking for in your own words. “1BR in Williamsburg under $4,000, needs a gym” is plenty.

Searching is the easy part. Zeme pulls from Zillow, StreetEasy and 100+ other sources, plus Zeme exclusive listings — then works through them the way a person would if they had all day: removing duplicates, dropping the ones already rented, filtering out the fakes, and ranking what's left against what you actually asked for.

That's exactly what Zeme's outreach is built to do. When you find places you want to see, Zeme works with you to put together the strongest possible inquiries — then emails them to the listers and introduces you directly. Agents get hundreds of “is this still available?” messages a week and most go nowhere. Zeme has sent enough of them to know what actually gets a reply — and writes yours that way.

No app, nothing to download. Zeme lives entirely in your text messages. You text it like a friend and have your own personalized search experience.

Yes. Your number and email are used only to run your search and send the inquiries you approve — nothing goes to a lister until you pick a place — never sold, never spammed. Zeme is SOC 2 compliant, and you can read more at the Trust Center.

An email alert is a notification. Something got listed; good luck. Whether it fits, whether it's still there, whether it's real — all still yours to check, every time, for every listing. Zeme works the way someone would if they were doing this full-time for you. It checks every listing against what you've told it, throws out the duplicates and the dead ones, texts you only what's left, then writes the inquiry and gets it to the lister. One sends you homework. The other does it.

ChatGPT is a good place to ask about neighborhoods. It's not built to run your apartment search. Zeme is faster — ask, and matches come back in seconds. Zeme actually checks the listings: it removes duplicates, stale listings, and fake listings before you ever see them. Zeme never stops — your search runs continuously, all day, every day, on exactly what you asked for, and the moment something matches you get a text. And Zeme does the outreach: it emails the listers, introduces you directly, and the agents on the other end already know Zeme. ChatGPT hands you a link and leaves the rest to you.
