Technology & Data
May Vendor Spotlight: Rayse – Introducing RAE (Rayse Assistant Engine)
For May, realMLS is spotlighting Rayse and its powerful new enhancement, RAE (Rayse Assistant Engine).
RAE is a conversational AI built directly into Rayse and designed to automatically capture the work you’re already doing for your clients and customers. It makes documenting your value and keeping clients informed easier than ever — without adding extra steps to your workflow.
Rayse was created to help agents clearly demonstrate the value behind their work, but manually logging activities can still feel like extra effort. RAE changes that. Instead of updating forms or workflows, you simply speak or type naturally within Rayse. RAE intelligently captures your activities and automatically updates your client’s journey.
With RAE, agents can effortlessly demonstrate their value, increase transparency with clients, strengthen relationships, and save time. Because it’s built directly into Rayse, your data remains secure within the platform.
The best way to understand RAE is to see it in action. Join us for a live virtual demo on: May 12 at 12:30 PM and June 11 at 12:30 PM.
