Course Description
Today's appraisers face growing pressure to integrate AI tools into their workflow. This course explores how artificial intelligence can support best practices throughout the appraisal process—from research and data gathering to report writing and compliance.
 
You'll move beyond simple chatbot interactions to learn effective prompt engineering techniques, including the contextual patterns that produce reliable, relevant results. We'll compare Gemini and ChatGPT, examining their similarities, differences, and practical applications for appraisal work. The course also covers how these tools can help you navigate the transition to the UAD 3.6 format.
