Is the AI in 15 Minutes for CRE field guide free?

Yes. AI in 15 Minutes for CRE is a free field guide from Pacific Software Ventures. You drop your details into the form on the page and the PDF downloads the moment you submit. It is an instant PDF with no paywall, written to be read in about fifteen minutes across six sections.

Should CRE professionals use Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, or Perplexity?

It depends on the job, not the brand. The guide sorts Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, and Perplexity by the job rather than the brand name, so you reach for the right tool for the task in front of you. It then walks you through putting one to work by building a deal-screening agent in five minutes.

Can I build an AI agent for CRE deals without writing code?

Yes. The guide walks you through building a working deal-screening agent in five minutes, with no code required and copy-paste text included. Reading about agents is like reading about golf swings, so instead of only describing agents, the guide has you build this first one for real.

Inside the field guide

What you’ll learn.

What an LLM actually is, in deal language

Strip the hype and an LLM is a prediction machine: an analyst who has read every OM, lease, and appraisal ever published, but showed up to your office with no files and no memory of your deals. That one picture explains almost every AI behavior you'll see, and exactly why generic prompts give generic answers.

Which tool for which job, and the agent you build in five minutes

Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, and Perplexity, sorted by the job rather than the brand. Then Section 03 walks you through building a working deal-screening agent in five minutes: no code, copy-paste included. Reading about agents is like reading about golf swings, so you do this one for real.

Where AI fits, where it doesn't, and every buzzword decoded

The mistake that quietly wrecks an agent's output, the judgment calls AI should never touch, and a one-page translator for RAG, agents, tokens, and context windows. Keep the last section open as your cheat sheet for every AI conversation from here on.
