In addition to Matterport, mentioned in another comment, there's FloPlan, which has the agent walk around the house taking a video of the baseboards, and constructs a floorplan from that. Not entirely accurate, but good enough for a rough idea of the layout of the space.

I believe it can also use the LiDAR sensor in newer phones, but I haven't tested that.

An easier sell than Matterport, which (IIRC) is a $5K camera. FloPlan just charges a per-plan price (again, IIRC).

Matterport will also work with a phone, so the fancy camera is optional.

Floplan is based on the technology from Cubi Casa at https://www.cubi.casa/ but FloPlan is only available for MLS property listings.

If you want the generic service, you have to go to Cubi Casa.
