House Inspector product
What AI can—and cannot—do during a home walkthrough
AI can help organize visible patterns and standardize documentation. It cannot perform a complete home inspection or establish a property diagnosis.
Who this page is for
House Inspector is a preliminary visual decision-support tool. It helps people document what they can see, organize follow-up questions, and prepare for conversations with inspectors and contractors.
- Buyers researching AI-assisted inspection tools.
- People seeking a second organizational layer during walkthroughs.
- Users who want to understand AI limitations before relying on output.
What the workflow includes
Capture clear, well-lit photos, add property context, and review the resulting observations before treating any item as confirmed.
- Use photos to create a consistent observation record.
- Review possible categories without treating them as confirmed.
- Identify missing views and follow-up questions.
- Escalate material concerns to qualified professionals.
Important limits
A photograph shows one angle at one moment. It cannot reveal concealed assemblies, measure system performance, test materials, or establish code compliance.
- AI may miss a visible issue or flag a harmless condition.
- Images do not expose hidden systems or contaminants.
- Training data cannot substitute for local, on-site professional judgment.
