MetroList Launches Restb.ai Integration to Modernize Listing Input and Improve Accessibility Through Rapattoni MLS
This new deployment gives MetroList users access to innovative Restb.ai-powered features designed to save time, improve listing quality, and create new search experiences: AI-generated alt-text for property photos, photo-driven autofill for property listings and AI Picture Search.
Using computer vision technology, Restb.ai integration automatically scans every image uploaded to the MLS, creating editable image descriptions that support screen readers, strengthen ADA and WCAG compliance, and improve search engine visibility. These image captions are also shared with third-party syndication partners, expanding listing reach and supporting visually impaired users.
'We're proud to support MetroList with this innovative AI integration,' said Ralph Hoover, President of Rapattoni Corporation. 'By combining Restb.ai's technology with the power of the Rapattoni MLS platform, we're helping our customers deliver smarter, faster, and more accessible real estate tools to their users.'
'At MetroList, we are committed to providing our subscribers with the most innovative tools in the industry,' said MetroList President and CEO Dave Howe. 'By integrating Restb.ai's autofill technology and advanced AI Picture Search, we're making it easier than ever for real estate professionals to manage and market their listings, and get properties noticed by buyers.'
Advanced AI Picture search, powered by Restb.ai, is a revolutionary new technology integrated into Rapattoni's platform. It allows home buyers to search for listings using photos, making it easier to find properties with similar features or architectural styles. This new computer vision technology, powered by artificial intelligence, analyzes images to return visually similar listings, offering an alternative to traditional keyword or filter-based searches.
Additionally, Restb.ai's Listing Input Auto-Pop identifies over 370 RESO-compliant features about a home that autofill corresponding listing fields. This reduces manual data entry, minimizes errors, and enables faster, more accurate listing creation.
'MLSs are looking for ways to modernize without disrupting the daily workflow of their agents,' said Dominik Pogorzelski, President, MLS at Restb.ai. 'MetroList powered by Rapattoni is leading the way with AI integration that improves a real estate professional's daily workflow as it increases their efficiency, boosts listing quality, and elevates the experience for both real estate agents and consumers alike.'
Restb.ai's AI tools are now live for all MetroList subscribers.

Arrive AI: Autonomous Delivery Set to Skyrocket as FAA Clears Flight Path for Drone Delivery
Indiana company says new drone regulations will speed improvements to package delivery security for Americans INDIANAPOLIS, IN / ACCESS Newswire / August 6, 2025 / Arrive AI (NASDAQ:ARAI), an autonomous delivery network anchored by patented AI-powered Arrive Points™, celebrated the Trump administration's proposed new rule regarding drones flying Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS), that it said would unleash American innovation and safely integrate unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) into the national airspace system. The proposed rule would eliminate individual flight waivers and introduce key safety roles like Operations Supervisor and Flight Coordinator, helping commercial drone flights take off nationwide. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy said the move would "unleash American drone dominance." The announcement, made late yesterday, comes as Arrive AI is poised to roll out its solution for longstanding issues of security within the package delivery industry, a $191 billion market in the U.S. alone. Arrive AI's patented Arrive Points anchor the company's connected delivery network and proprietary technology, which enables secure, verifiable, and contactless delivery for drone, ground robot, or traditional human driver. The platform provides a secure chain-of-custody, ensuring every delivery is tracked and authenticated from the moment it enters an Arrive Point until it is retrieved. "This is a watershed moment," said Dan O'Toole, founder and CEO of Arrive AI. "The proposed BVLOS rule brings us significantly closer to a future where drones, robots and AI-powered, smart delivery points work together to move goods securely, efficiently, and autonomously, particularly in healthcare, public safety, and rural last-mile logistics." Arrive AI officials have long sought to loosen federal restrictions in the industry. "Other countries are ahead of us in using drones for delivery, and in the few cases in the U.S. where it's been allowed, consumers love it," O'Toole said. Arrive AI is already working with Skye Air Mobility, India's dominant and rapidly expanding hyperlocal drone delivery platform. Skye Air currently makes about 6,000 deliveries per day in suburban New Delhi. The companies expect to have 500 Arrive Points across Skye Air's service areas in the future, serving a population exceeding 33 million. FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford said normalizing drone flights "is key to realizing drones' societal and economic benefits" for package delivery" and other uses. O'Toole said he is eager to see the rule approved and for Americans to have the same fast, convenient, more sustainable form of delivery. "This is the way of the future," he said. "Arrive AI will make that last inch of the delivery process so much better for the delivery industry as well as users, who'll be able to receive and return items with the touch of a button. They're ready for this, and so are we." -30- About Arrive AI Arrive AI's patented Autonomous Last Mile (ALM) platform enables secure, efficient delivery to and from a smart, AI-powered mailbox, whether by drone, ground robot or human courier. The platform provides real-time tracking, smart logistics alerts and advanced chain of custody controls to support shippers, delivery services and autonomous networks. By combining artificial intelligence with autonomous technology, Arrive AI makes the exchange of goods between people, robots and drones frictionless and convenient. Its system integrates with smart home devices such as doorbells, lighting and security systems to streamline the entire last-mile delivery experience. Learn more at and via the company's press kit.

Inside Indeed's playbook for getting employees comfortable with AI
When the Indeed marketing team gathered recently for an AI training session, a consultant asked a probing question: When it comes to AI, what worries you most? Perhaps surprisingly, people were most concerned about the steep learning curve. Concerns about keeping up with AI are widespread. In the United States, 75% of workers believe the skills needed for their roles will shift in five years, according to a recent Indeed report, " Tomorrow's World: The Workplace and Workforce of the Future." Yet, less than half (45%) have actually been upskilled in the last three years to develop longer-term skills and learning. AI will fundamentally change how people work, and forward-looking companies across industries are starting to treat AI upskilling as a business imperative. PwC, for one, developed a program designed to train employees in managing risks and leadership in the AI era. IKEA is bringing AI literacy training to more than 30,000 workers. Indeed has also rolled out its own AI training programs — from AI 101 tutorials to more advanced training for software developers, who now use AI to generate a third of the company's new code. What does it take to implement an AI upskilling program that sticks? Here's a look at what Indeed's experts have learned along the way. Start by listening and don't stop Before implementing an AI training program, ask your team about what they already know and what they want to learn. "The first step is understanding how we can help," said Megan Myers, Indeed's global director of brand planning, strategy, and operations. Myers, who for nearly two years has led AI education and adoption efforts for the marketing team, has used focus groups and Slack channels to ask employees about their AI use. The fears that surfaced in those conversations prompted her to organize a training session on the psychology of change. That's where Uli Heitzlhofer, the talent management consultant, asked employees what worried them most about AI. "We said, we have to directly address the elephant in the room: People are feeling anxious about what this means," Myers said. Facing fears head-on has helped the team move forward and build momentum. So instead of spending hours writing talking points for a deck, they might prompt Google Gemini to do it: "Give me 30 seconds of voiceover per slide — focus on decisions that need to be made in the room." One team member built a ChatGPT-powered agent to analyze reams of data about brand health in different markets, a task that now takes just a few minutes. AI also helped a team in one market make better decisions about where to place ads, using a tool called Claritas to more than double audience engagement. As the marketing team's AI use grows more sophisticated, Myers continues to survey employees to surface pain points AI might solve. That ensures that the experts she brings in each quarter to deliver training offer guidance that meets real needs. Cover the basics, but focus on details When it comes to using AI, employees often don't know where to start. They know that AI is a transformational tool, but they're looking for concrete advice on how to apply it to their jobs. Heitzlhofer, the consultant, calls it "blank page syndrome." "It's like, oh my god. I'm in front of this empty page. I don't know what to do. I'm just going to do something else," Heitzlhofer said. To help Indeed marketers overcome that paralysis, Myers hosts "power user panels," where people show their peers how they're already using AI for snackable tasks, whether it's to summarize emails or quickly build bar charts to visualize data. Showing people how they can put AI to practical use has been crucial across Indeed's workforce. When Indeed first offered AI training, the company took a "broad strokes" approach, sharing AI basics, the foundations of responsible AI use, and tips for using Gemini for Google Workspace, an AI-powered assistant for Google's suite of apps. While those basics were important, more targeted training for specific job functions has proved even more effective. Since then, Indeed's learning and development team, in partnership with the AI for Indeed team, has designed and developed an eight-workshop AI program for research and development executives. They developed courses for EU-based Indeedians on aligning AI with civil rights and training for managers on how to use AI responsibly to write performance reviews. These tailored efforts have helped drive adoption more effectively than a broad, surface-level rollout. Set specific goals, but make room for experimentation Just because you've built a useful AI upskilling program doesn't mean people will flock to it. While Myers and Heitzlhofer agree that making training mandatory can backfire, it's still important to nudge and motivate people. Myers asks marketers to include one AI goal in their corporate commitments each year. She also challenges them to spend at least 10 hours every six months on AI learning and development, whether that includes attending Indeed's expert training sessions or taking an outside course. "We want you to choose your own adventure with AI and get yourself comfortable with it," she said. While learning leaders need to help employees build confidence with AI through training and practice time, it's up to company and department leaders to create the right environment. That means clearly articulating AI policies, then giving people explicit permission to experiment (and to fail). Heitzlhofer suggested setting up use case libraries and Slack channels or other shared spaces where employees can exchange tips and missteps. "Ideally, they'll share these lessons with others, so collective learning is always happening," he said. Don't just encourage adoption. Measure it. Investment in AI upskilling is already paying off for Indeed. According to internal data, developers now use AI to write 33% of new code at Indeed, up from just 7% in March. Indeed aims to push that number to 50% by year's end. That kind of shift signals real behavior change. The true measure of AI adoption isn't course completions — it's about how people actually use the tools, as captured by metrics like voluntary usage, time saved, and improved quality. Ultimately, that's the key to long-term traction: not just delivering learning, but driving adoption. Without practical application, even the most robust training efforts won't stick.

The Pixel 10 could radically change the way you take photos — here's how
Shooting photos is second nature for me. But whenever I let my dad take family photos for me, I sometimes cringe at the result because I know it could've turned out better. Google wants to up your photography game with a feature rumored to be coming to the Pixel 10 that will make you a better photographer. Android Headlines is reporting that Google's working on a feature for the Pixel 10 called Camera Coach, which would lean on Gemini to provide you with real-time coaching instructions to get better-looking photos. It sounds like this Gemini-powered feature for the Pixel 10 camera would suggest changes like adjusting your angle for better framing, changing the lighting, and much more. I really like this idea of Camera Coach using Gemini to guide you to get the best shot, but I'll be more impressed to see what the execution is like. Taking photos like a professional requires quick analysis of the scene, then choosing your frame. It's the difference between getting an ordinary shot from one that will get you hundreds of likes on Instagram. Even though there aren't a lot of explicit details on how Camera Coach will work on the Pixel 10, one of the arguments I agree with is that this feature should be instant. Gemini would need to read the scene and give instructions right away to make it practical for everyone to use — because, quite frankly — I think the whole process should take no more than 5 to 7 seconds. We'll have to see if this rumored feature is true. If it is, it could radically change the way people take photos, and I'm confident it would work well in practice. That's because I imagine that Google's been training Gemini to know what looks good and what doesn't. Beyond Camera Coach, there's a lot of excitement and buzz surrounding the Pixel 10 series, including the base model that's rumored to feature a triple camera system complete with a dedicated telephoto lens. I've already explained the precedent it would establish if the Pixel 10 does end up getting a telephoto shooter. Thankfully, we won't have to wait long because the next Made by Google event is slated for August 20, where we'll also likely get our first look at other devices — like the Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
