A physician photographed his whole house into an insurance ready inventory for $6

He is a physician, not a coder. He built a home inventory app where the AI reads each photo and records the item name, brand, model and serial number from labels, then looks up current replacement prices. Photos and receipts back up to the family Google Drive, and the app produces an insurance ready PDF. The whole house cost about $6 in AI charges.

How it works

  1. He photographs rooms and items in the app
  2. The AI identifies each item from the photo and label
  3. Replacement prices looked up
  4. Everything backs up to Google Drive
  5. Insurance PDF generated

Why it’s worth knowing

The design rule he set is the point: if the phone and the house both burn, the record still has to survive.
