What you'l learn

This section builds on the Fundamentals to help experienced practitioners orchestrate AI for complex, multi-step real estate work. Here's what you'll learn:
  • AI Agents – Move beyond single prompts. Learn how agents plan, execute multi-step tasks, use tools, browse the web, and deliver complete workflows—from portfolio construction to automated risk analysis.
  • Search and RAG – Understand how AI searches your documents, the difference between indexing and semantic search, and the real limitations of "chatting with your data."
  • Data analysis – Use AI to synthesize project files, meeting transcripts, and company data into structured reports—while avoiding the pitfalls of hallucination and prompt injection.
  • Forecasting with AI – Build predictive models in minutes using methods like gradient boosting and random forests. Validate results and visualize forecasts for rents, prices, and other real estate metrics.
  • Maps and dashboards – Generate maps from shapefiles, merge spatial data with market data, and create interactive dashboards—no GIS expertise or coding required.

By the end, you'll know how to deploy AI for complex, multi-step real estate projects and understand exactly where human oversight remains essential. You'll apply these to valuation and risk analysis, deep research for site selection and market recommendations, building presentations, forecasting with data, and creating maps, graphs, and interactive charts.
