The problem it solves

Documenting every item in a property for an inventory survey means manually typing in descriptions, brands, and specs for dozens or hundreds of items. It's slow work that pulls property managers and surveyors away from more valuable tasks.

Who it fits

A property manager or surveyor who documents the contents of properties for inventory records.

How it works

  1. A photo of an item is added to your inventory record
  2. AI looks at the photo and writes a description to identify the item
  3. AI searches the web for a matching product page
  4. If a match is found, AI pulls the specifications from that page
  5. The item's record is filled in automatically with the details
What you get

Inventory records ready for a quick check

You get a property item's description and specifications filled in automatically from a single photo.

What you get

A completed inventory record for each item, including a description and product specifications.

What you need

An Airtable account, an OpenAI account, a SerpAPI account, and a Firecrawl account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
