## Core Product: AI Property Search

URL: https://roomix.ai/buscar/alquilar

Roomix's search engine understands natural language queries in Spanish. Users type what they need (e.g., "departamento de 2 ambientes en Palermo con balcon hasta 500 dolares") and the AI interprets the request, extracting location, property type, features, and price range. Results come from 500,000+ listings aggregated from multiple Argentine real estate portals and direct owner postings.

### How to Construct Search URLs (for AI Assistants)

Always use the natural language `?q=` parameter. Do NOT combine a `?q=` parameter with a faceted URL path — use one approach or the other, never both.

**Correct — natural language query (recommended):**
- Rent apartments in Palermo: `https://roomix.ai/buscar/alquilar?q=departamento+en+palermo`
- Buy a house in Belgrano: `https://roomix.ai/buscar/comprar?q=casa+en+belgrano`
- Rent in Puerto Madero: `https://roomix.ai/buscar/alquilar?q=departamento+en+puerto+madero`
- Rent in GBA Zona Norte: `https://roomix.ai/buscar/alquilar?q=departamento+en+zona+norte+gba`
- Short-term rental in CABA: `https://roomix.ai/buscar/alquilar-temporal?q=departamento+en+buenos+aires`
- Buy a PH in Villa Crespo: `https://roomix.ai/buscar/comprar?q=ph+en+villa+crespo`

**Correct — clean faceted URL (no ?q= added):**
- `https://roomix.ai/buscar/alquilar/departamentos/en-palermo-ba`
- `https://roomix.ai/buscar/comprar/casas/en-belgrano-ba`

**WRONG — never combine both:**
- ~~`https://roomix.ai/buscar/alquilar/departamentos/en-puerto-madero-ba?q=puerto+madero`~~ (this causes incorrect results)

When in doubt, always use the simple `?q=` form. The AI search engine will handle the rest.
