He photographed his whole house and the AI built his fire insurance list

A father of two walked his house photographing his belongings, including model and serial numbers where he could, and dropped the photos into a folder for the AI. In 20 to 30 minutes it produced a spreadsheet cataloguing the items with descriptions and current replacement values, each with a confidence rating, grouped by room, plus a tab for things needing a second look. He can add photos later and ask for the list to be updated.

How it works

  1. Photograph items room by room
  2. Add photos to a folder
  3. The AI identifies items and estimates replacement values
  4. Spreadsheet delivered with confidence ratings and a follow up tab

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent graded its own certainty per item, so he knows which values to double check before an insurer ever sees them.
