Zenplace, a Bay Area-based [property management firm](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-features) has hired a unique new employee - a [robotic real estate agent](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-humanoid-robot) named Zenny, who works around the clock to help clients find their dream home.

Zenny 'lives' inside of the vacant, for sale homes and waits until a potential client is interested in seeing the property. Those interested are given a special code from Zenplace, which is used to unlock the door. Upon entering, Zenny, the [tablet on wheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/w1), will offer a guided tour of the home. In addition, Zenny comes equipped with a live feed of an agent, so people can ask questions a robot may not be able to answer.

With this method, consumers are able to view homes at their convenience, and realtors can avoid the hassles of pre-booking appointments and constant schedule adjustments.
