AI is rapidly changing the way real estate professionals work. But access to AI tools alone does not create an AI ready workforce. Professionals also need the knowledge, confidence and practical skills to apply AI effectively in their day to day work.

That is the thinking behind the Bright AI Academy, a new learning initiative from Bright MLS, powered by CYPHER Learning.

Serving more than 100,000 real estate professionals, Bright MLS is creating a centralized learning environment designed to help its subscribers understand AI, put it into practice and continue developing their skills as technology and the industry evolve.

Moving from AI awareness to practical application

The Bright AI Academy is designed to go beyond general AI education. It will combine AI learning with Bright’s own proprietary industry knowledge, products, workflows and resources, making learning directly relevant to the work real estate professionals do every day.

Subscribers will be able to access product training, educational resources, live learning opportunities, assessments and certificates from one environment, with learning personalized around their needs.

CYPHER will also give learners conversational access to information grounded in Bright’s own resources and knowledge base. Instead of searching across documents, presentations, videos and other materials, professionals can more easily find the information they need and continue learning in the flow of their work.

As Brian Donnellan, President and CEO of Bright MLS, explains in the announcement, the opportunity is not simply about providing AI technology. It is about helping professionals understand how to use it effectively and apply it to their businesses.

Building learning that can evolve with AI

One of the biggest challenges with AI education is that the subject does not stand still.

As tools, capabilities and real estate use cases change, learning needs to evolve alongside them. Using CYPHER, Bright experts will be able to turn existing documents, presentations, videos and other resources into structured learning experiences and update educational content more quickly.

This gives Bright a foundation for an AI Academy that can continue growing rather than becoming a one time training initiative.
