    Inspection reports

    Inspection reports drafted from your notes and photos, so inspectors review instead of type

    Your inspector walks the units and takes notes the way they always have. The AI turns those notes and photos into a draft in your template, and the inspector checks it and signs it.

    The problem

    The walk takes the morning. The report takes the afternoon.

    Your inspector spends the morning in units and the afternoon turning shorthand and a camera roll into a report. The note says "BR2 window latch broken, see pic," and the report needs the room, the item, the condition, the right photo and the deficiency wording your standard uses. Reports go out late, and the person best placed to spot a problem spends their time formatting tables.

    What it does

    It does the writing up, item by item

    Typed notes, dictated voice memos and photos tagged to a unit all work as input.

    Matches notes to your template

    Each note goes to the right room and item, so "kitchen sink slow drain" lands under Kitchen, Plumbing.

    Writes in your wording

    Findings use the phrasing in your past reports and your deficiency standard, not generic text.

    Attaches the right photos

    Photos sit next to the finding they show. When a photo and its note seem to disagree, the item is flagged.

    Lists what wasn't noted

    Template items with no note show up as "no note recorded," so a skipped smoke detector check is visible, not silently left blank.

    Inspector's note

    BR2 window latch broken, see pic. Smoke det hall ok. Bath fan noisy.

    In the draft

    Bedroom 2, window: latch does not secure (photo 14), deficiency level for inspector to confirm. Hallway, smoke detector: operational. Bathroom, exhaust fan: operates, excessive noise reported.

    What it does not do

    It drafts. It never signs.

    The report is the inspector's, and every judgment in it stays theirs.

    It doesn't decide pass or fail

    A suggested deficiency level is marked as a suggestion. The inspector sets the final one.

    It doesn't invent findings

    If there's no note or photo for an item, it doesn't fill one in.

    It doesn't read a blurry photo with confidence

    If it can't tell what a photo shows, it says so and leaves the item for the inspector.

    It doesn't send anything

    No report goes to an owner, agency or resident until the inspector has approved it.

    Where a person stays in charge

    The inspector reviews every line

    A person checks every draft before it becomes a report. That includes the parts the AI got right.

    Every finding

    The inspector reads, edits or deletes each one, with the photo beside it.

    Every deficiency level

    Confirmed or changed by the inspector, never accepted by default.

    Life safety items

    Anything touching smoke detectors, gas or exposed wiring is pulled to the top of the draft so it gets acted on the same day.

    Your QA step

    If a second person reviews reports today, they still do.

    What it works alongside

    Your template, your devices, your files

    Inspectors don't need a new app to walk a unit.

    Your inspection template

    Move in, move out, annual or agency inspections, in the format you already use.

    The phone or tablet your inspectors carry

    Notes and photos come from the devices already in their pockets.

    Your property management software

    Approved reports are filed where you keep them, and repair items can be listed for a person to turn into work orders.

    Where we've done this before

    Our founder worked on the backend of US Inspection Group's HUD inspection platform, which has inspected over 3.6 million units.

    How we build it

    The drafting tool is an AI agent that works through each item in your template and stops wherever an inspector has to decide.

    How we build AI agents

    Pilot it in four weeks

    One inspector, one inspection type

    Move outs or annuals at one property are a good place to start.

    Week 1

    Gather the material

    Your template, a set of past reports, and the raw notes and photos behind them.

    Week 2

    Test on old inspections

    Run past inspections through and compare each draft with the report your inspector actually wrote.

    Week 3

    Live on new inspections

    The inspector reviews every draft and marks each edit they had to make.

    Week 4

    Decide

    Which findings needed rewriting? Did anything get missed? Does the inspector trust the flags?

    Those edits tell you whether to widen it to more inspectors, adjust the wording, or stop.

    FAQ

    What inspection teams ask about AI drafted reports

    It can draft them from the inspector's notes and photos, in your template and your wording. The inspector reviews every line, edits what's wrong, and signs the report. Nothing goes out as a draft.
