NAHB Website Now Features Generative AI Search

Digital Media
Published

NAHB has updated the search functionality on nahb.org to include generative artificial intelligence (AI) to help users find content on the website more readily.

Users can ask a question — such as “How can I join NAHB?” or “When is the International Builders’ Show?” — or insert a keyword into the search bar to search content on nahb.org.

AI Search Example

 

If available, a generated answer will appear at the top of the search results — including links to the most relevant pages as part of the citation — followed by a list of additional related content. If a generated answer is not available, the standard list of the most relevant search results will still appear.

Users also have the option to manually submit feedback on any answer received by clicking the thumbs up or thumbs down icons, and completing a brief questionnaire. This will help the system continue to learn and improve its answers and search results over time.

NAHB will continue to update content as well to address search queries and enhance the user experience on the website.

Inflation Steady Before War

After months of downward trend, inflation held steady at an eight-month low in February. This report does not reflect the recent surge in oil prices due to Iran conflict beginning February 28.
