ACI™ Integrates Restb.ai Technology into Sky™ Platform | AI-Driven Technology Automates the Appraisal Quality Control Process

June 19, 2024

Santa Ana, Calif., June 19, 2024 — ACI, a leading provider of workflow solutions for the valuation industry for nearly 40 years and a member of the First American (NYSE: FAF) family of companies, today announced that ACI Sky™, a best-in-class digital quality control and compliance platform, is now integrated with Restb.ai, a global leader in artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision solutions for real estate. The integration with Restb.ai automates the detection of discrepancies within appraisals and identification of images that need editing prior to submission to an appraisal management company (AMC) or lender. The technology also examines photo-based data to aid in analyzing the condition and quality of properties.

“Our AI-powered ACI technology solves two major pain points that AMCs and lenders face – inconsistency between the data and imagery in appraisal reports and the inadvertent inclusion of images containing personal details that should be edited out,” said Chris Flynn, head of product and strategy at First American Data & Analytics. “ACI Sky’s industry-leading appraisal quality control automation paired with the power of Restb.ai’s computer vision capabilities will reduce appraisal revisions, saving time and expense in the appraisal process.”

The new integration leverages AI to extract insights from images captured during the appraisal inspection process to identify inconsistencies in appraisal reports at the time of appraisal delivery, minimizing costly and time-consuming appraisal revisions. Restb.ai’s technology also flags images that may require editing to omit personal or private details prior to submission to an appraisal management company or lender.

“The combination of ACI’s deep experience in appraisal technology and quality control, combined with AI’s ability to analyze and extract insight from imagery will enhance ACI’s industry-leading solutions, further automating the appraisal quality control process,” said Tony Pistilli, general manager, valuations at Restb.ai.

ACI Sky leverages dynamic PAR® Logic rules engine to assess integrity, quality and completeness, while reducing exceptions via real-time alerts at file submission and review, expediting the appraisal review process. To date, ACI Sky has reviewed more than 6 million appraisals nationwide.
