1. Purpose
REI Compass™ uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help organize information, generate summaries, assist with analysis, and improve productivity throughout the platform. AI is designed to support your workflow, not replace your judgment, professional advice, or independent due diligence.
Our Commitment
AI in REI Compass™ is a workflow assistant. It is designed to save you time on repetitive work, not to make investment decisions on your behalf.
2. AI Is an Assistant
AI inside REI Compass™ assists you — it does not replace your judgment. You remain fully responsible for verifying anything AI produces before acting on it, including:
- Property analysis
- Repair estimates
- ARV (After Repair Value) assumptions
- Offers
- Contracts
- Legal documents
- Financing decisions
- Tax decisions
- Investment decisions
You remain solely responsible for reviewing, validating, and approving all information before acting on it.
3. Third-Party AI Services
AI-powered features inside REI Compass™ may be delivered using trusted third-party AI services. When you use an AI feature, the inputs required to generate the requested output are transmitted to the service provider solely for that purpose.
As the AI landscape evolves, REI Compass™ may:
- Introduce new AI models
- Replace existing providers
- Improve model quality
- Improve reliability
- Improve security
- Improve cost efficiency
We evaluate AI services based on capability, reliability, security, and data-handling practices, and we update this disclosure when a change is material.
4. User Content
AI features only process the information you choose to submit to them. Data that is not sent to an AI feature is not processed by an AI service.
5. Accuracy
AI can make mistakes. AI-generated content may be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, or missing important context. This is a limitation of the technology itself, not a flaw specific to REI Compass™.
You should always review AI-generated content — numbers, summaries, drafts, and recommendations — before relying on it for anything that matters. When in doubt, verify against original sources or consult a qualified professional.
6. Human Review Recommended
Real estate investing decisions carry real financial consequences. Before acting on AI-generated output, independently verify the underlying information. Examples of items that warrant human review include:
- Property values
- Comparable sales
- Repair estimates
- Rental projections
- Purchase contracts
- Legal documents
- Financing terms
- Local regulations
- Tax implications
AI should be viewed as a productivity assistant rather than a substitute for qualified professional advice.
7. No Professional Advice
AI-generated information provided through REI Compass™ is for informational and workflow purposes only. It is not, and must not be treated as:
- Legal advice
- Tax advice
- Accounting advice
- Investment advice
- Financial advice
- Engineering advice
- Inspection advice
For any decision that requires professional expertise, consult a qualified attorney, accountant, financial advisor, contractor, engineer, or licensed inspector.
8. Responsible AI
REI Compass™ is committed to using AI responsibly. Our approach is guided by three principles:
- Privacy — AI features only process information you choose to submit, and we do not use your user content to train third-party advertising or generative AI models.
- Transparency — we tell you when a feature is AI-powered and describe, at a high level, how it works.
- Security — AI services are treated as service providers, subject to the same security expectations as the rest of our stack.
9. Future Updates
AI capabilities inside REI Compass™ will continue to evolve. We may add new AI-powered features, refine existing ones, or change the services we rely on.
When we make material changes to how AI is used inside the platform, we will update this disclosure and revise the "Last Updated" date above.
