I am not sold on what the service is. There are sellers out there that already do instant tour unlocks. There are also companies like Redfin that tried to attack this problem but I think are still struggling to fully crack it. You only mention that rates are negotiable, there is no way I am using this kind of service unless you offer drastically lower rates. That was the attractive part of redfin, they automate and standardize as much of the workflow as possible and can work with lower rates for that process. I don't care about an OpenAI chatbot that can send me some listing information via text message.

There are no websites that let you make offers on houses by yourself. If you want to make an offer on a car, a boat, even land, there are ways to do it without an agent. Real estate (save land) seems the lone exception where you have to involve an agent. If you try to make an offer without an agent, the seller's agent becomes your agent and takes the fee. While they don't list their prices, I bet there's some people who'd pay the standard 3% to be able to control the process themselves.
