What Should We Train AI On?

What should we train AI on?
That question stops more teams than the tech ever will. Some upload everything, others freeze entirely. But here’s the truth: you don’t need a massive knowledge base. You need a smart one.

This blog breaks down what actually belongs in your AI assistant’s training set, and what to skip. If your assistant’s still giving off “meh” energy, the problem might be the data diet.

Start small. Stay clear. Train with what your team really uses, and watch your AI start pulling its weight.

The Great AI Overthink

You know the drill. Ask an AI a basic question. It starts off smooth, logical, precise, maybe even a little smug. Then… boom. A left turn into nonsense. Suddenly it’s unraveling like your favorite sweater, throwing around edge cases no one asked for and serving up an answer so confidently wrong, you start questioning reality and your career choices.

Apple’s latest announcement just confirmed what we’ve all suspected: most AI is trying way too hard. And when it does, it forgets what it was actually asked.

Differences Between RAG and MCP

It’s exciting to see Compass investing in AI, but I’d like to point out that they’re not actually the first brokerage to deliver true AI. Maxwell Realty in Edmonton has been running an MCP server with our SLY assistant for the past four months. Our CEO, Kurtis Cicalo, discusses what this means.

Why Does My Staff Hate Using It?

When AI tools fall flat, it’s rarely just a tech issue. It’s usually a “fit” issue. Most assistants weren’t built for real estate, so when your team asks MLS-specific questions, the answers often miss the mark. The result? Wasted time, lost trust, and tools that go unused. In this blog, we’re breaking down why AI adoption fails, how to fix it, and what good adoption actually looks like.

Hint: it starts with your own data and a thoughtful rollout.

Why Doesn’t AI Work for Us?

Why doesn’t AI work the way we need it to?
That’s the question I hear over and over again in real estate. Most AI tools weren’t built for the messy, high-stakes, acronym-filled reality of your day-to-day. They weren’t trained on your docs so they miss the mark.

In this post, I break down why generic AI falls flat, what makes real estate different, and how the right setup can actually cut support volume in half (yep, really). Read for practical steps that help your team get better answers, faster.

The AI Adoption Tipping Point

AI is no longer a tech trend, it’s becoming core infrastructure for how real estate operates. In a field driven by rules, timelines, and regional nuance, accuracy is everything. That’s why real estate needs AI tools trained on local data, not generic internet answers. When done right, AI doesn’t just respond, it empowers faster, smarter service at every level of the transaction.

Reimagine What’s Possible

As Fiverr’s CEO recently put it: “AI is coming for your jobs. Heck, it’s coming for mine too.” But the real message wasn’t fear. It was a challenge: learn the tools, or miss the opportunity to do more meaningful work.

AI doesn’t just take tasks off your plate. It gives you space to reimagine what you’re capable of.

What Makes AI Worth Trusting

When it comes to AI, healthy skepticism is a good thing. With so many tools flooding the market, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed — or unsure about which ones to trust. The truth is, trusting AI isn’t about blind faith; it’s about earned confidence. In this post, I’m breaking down what separates trustworthy AI from the rest: tools that keep humans in the loop, stay transparent, respect your data, and actually get better with you. The right AI doesn’t replace your voice — it sharpens it.
