Delivered in partnershp with IPAV who recognised that most of their 1,500 auctioneers and valuer members are at the start of their AI adoption journey. They know the tools exist, plenty have dabbled, but few use them with confidence.

Estate agents aren't short on willingness. They just haven't been shown what AI is safe and worth using for in a regulated, client-facing job. This course does, with every prompt, task and scenario drawn from real property work.

  • Write listings, vendor updates and tenant communications in minutes instead of hours
  • Research comparables, analyse tenant applications and produce market briefings using your own data
  • Stop guessing at prompts and start getting output you can actually send to clients
  • Build reusable templates and workflows that work across ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot and Gemini
  • Know where to trust the output and where your professional judgement is non-negotiable

Who it's for

Irish auctioneers and valuers at any stage — from those who have never used AI to those who want to move from occasional use to confident, systematic application.

The programme

Four sessions. Eight hours. Real outputs. Every session follows the same pattern: focused teaching, then hands-on tasks, then group share-back. Participants spend the majority of each session doing, not watching. Dual screen access is recommended.

Session 1 ·  21 September, 10am - 12pm
Setup, safety and first prompts

Get set up properly across ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or Gemini. Learn what can and cannot safely go into AI tools, why tenant screening triggers the EU AI Act, and how structured prompting turns vague asks into output you can send to clients. You write your first prompts for real property tasks before the session ends.

Session  2 ·  28 September, 10am - 12pm

Research and market intelligence

Use deep research tools to produce comparable reports from a specific address, analyse tenant applications, and turn inspection reports into landlord action emails. Every task uses real or synthesised property data and runs in the session, not as homework.

Session 3 · 5 October, 10am - 12pm
Workflows, content and knowledge bases

Build a content engine that takes one property brief and produces listings for Daft.ie, MyHome.ie, social media and email in a single pass. Create a searchable knowledge base from your own documents so the AI works with your sources, not the open web. Map your workflows to decide where reusable prompts and agents save the most time.

Session 4 · 12 October, 10am - 12pm

Hackathon

No new teaching. You bring one real task from your current workload and tackle it with AI. Facilitator-led support, peer learning across residential sales, lettings and commercial. Everyone leaves with at least one high-value output they can use on Monday morning.

Agent Build
This course is where it starts, not where it ends. For those who are ready to go further, the AI Institute works directly with estate agency teams to build automations  - listing workflows, tenant screening pipelines, client communication sequences  - and hands them back through targeted training so your team can run and maintain them without depending on outside support.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a coding or technical background to take this course?

None at all. Our courses are specifically designed for working professionals, executives, and design teams who want practical AI skills, not a computer science lecture.

  • If you are taking a Copilot course, basic familiarity with standard Microsoft 365 apps (Word, Excel, Outlook) is all you need.
  • For Claude Code, Claude handles the actual coding while you direct it using plain English.
  • For visual or industry-specific paths like Nano Banana or Built Environment, we focus entirely on practical workflows, layout options, and project management—never complex programming.
Is my project and financial data secure, and can I use my own files?

Yes, absolutely. Security and confidentiality are our highest priorities, especially for our AEC and Finance cohorts:

  • Data Privacy: Microsoft Copilot and Claude enterprise plans respect your existing corporate IT permissions. The AI only sees data you are already authorized to access, and your inputs are never used to train public models.
  • Course Work: Live workshop sessions use anonymized dummy data so you can focus entirely on mastering techniques in a safe environment. You will then be given clear frameworks to confidently apply those exact same prompts to your live, proprietary project files between modules.
How is this training different from free courses or generic AI tutorials?

The market is flooded with generic "how to write prompts" videos. Our edge is entirely different:

  • Live, Expert Facilitation: You are learning in real-time alongside an executive-level peer group, guided by practitioners from companies actively deploying AI in the real world.
  • Always Up-to-Date: The second an AI model drops a new feature, we rebuild our exercises. You are getting a cutting-edge playground, not stale theory.
  • Workflow Integration: We don't just teach tools in a vacuum; we show you exactly how they talk to your existing ecosystem - whether that’s integrating Claude with Microsoft 365 or feeding Nano Banana concepts downstream into Revit, Rhino, and Photoshop.
