Restb.ai announced a strategic alliance with Black Knight, Inc. to integrate the Restb.ai MLS Product Suite into the Black Knight Paragon MLS platform and offer the integrated products to Black Knight’s customers.
These capabilities will automate listing creation processes, unlock new data sets and instantly validate property listings imagery to support compliance with MLS guidelines.
“Black Knight is known for delivering highly innovative, proven and cutting-edge real estate solutions that strengthen customer relationships and help agents work faster and smarter, not harder,” Ben Graboske, president of Black Knight data and analytics, said in a release. “With Restb.ai, we’re helping our MLS clients deliver more value to brokers and agents nationwide. Agents will be able to spend significantly less time on manually entering listings, enabling them to focus instead on interacting with homebuyers and sellers.”
Using computer vision, “advanced tags” of interior and exterior features are generated. Property photo captions and full property listing descriptions are automatically generated from property photos.
As each listing photo is uploaded, AI from Restb.ai automatically detects each image's interior and exterior features, architecture style, and room type. In addition, by tagging and labeling each image, the property listings displayed on MLS and broker and agent websites become ADA-compliant.
Moreover, the solution can evaluate logos, watermarks, yard signs, people, license plates, duplicate images and more. This enhances photo-monitoring processes by auto-detecting misuses of listing photos and corresponding violations based on MLS/Association rules and regulations, according to designers.
“Building Restb.ai into Black Knight’s MLS platform will radically transform how MLS subscribers interact with MLS Listing data,” Restb.ai Managing Director for North America Lisa Larson said. “This enhanced AI automation will provide users with a new listing entry experience along with unique visual search capabilities for over 200 MLSs. Working with the exceptional Black Knight team members, who deeply understand their customers’ needs, created a milestone moment for us, delivering our most successful rollout strategy to date.”
