HomeBaseAI is the simplest way to manage everything about your home. Just have a conversation. **YOUR HOME, IN ONE CONVERSATION** There are no forms to fill out, no databases to navigate, no menus to learn. Just tell HomeBaseAI what you have -- by typing, speaking, or snapping a photo -- and it handles the rest. Say "I just bought a Samsung fridge for the kitchen" and HomeBaseAI saves it instantly with a confirmation card. It also auto-creates maintenance reminders based on what you saved -- water filter every 6 months, condenser coils every 6 months -- so you never forget. **SNAP A LABEL -- AI READS IT** Point your camera at any product label, paint can, or appliance tag. AI reads the text and extracts every detail -- brand, model number, serial number, color code -- then saves it to the right room automatically. **A COACH THAT KNOWS YOUR HOME** HomeBaseAI doesn't just store data -- it uses it. Ask "My water heater is making a popping sound" and get a personalized diagnosis based on your actual water heater's age and maintenance history. Ask "What should I do before winter?" and get a checklist built from your actual inventory, not generic advice. **HOME HEALTH SCORE** One number that tells you if you're on top of your home -- or if things are slipping. HomeBaseAI watches maintenance compliance, overdue tasks, coverage, and documentation completeness and rolls them into a single 0-100 score. Watch it climb week by week as you stay ahead. **SEASONAL PREP CHECKLISTS** Every season, HomeBaseAI generates a prep checklist based on what you actually own. No sprinkler system? No sprinkler winterization task. Have a gas furnace? Chimney inspection appears in fall. **COST-OF-NEGLECT TRACKING** See the real cost of deferred maintenance. "Your dryer vent cleaning is 4 months overdue. Lint buildup increases fire risk and costs roughly $8/month in dryer efficiency. Total accrued: ~$32." **WIDGETS** See overdue tasks, your next maintenance item, and your home health score right on your Lock Screen and Home Screen. **SHARED WITH FAMILY** Share your home with family through iCloud. Everyone sees the same data, everyone can contribute. No accounts needed. **GUIDED HOME SETUP** Say "Home Setup" and walk through your major systems one by one -- HVAC, water heater, appliances, safety equipment. Scan labels, skip what you don't have, pause and resume anytime. Maintenance reminders are created automatically as you go. **PRIVACY-FIRST** Your home data lives on your device and in your private iCloud -- nowhere else. AI conversation is powered by OpenAI's GPT-4o-mini. Your messages are processed to generate responses but are not stored or used for AI training. No user accounts, no third-party analytics SDKs, no third-party tracking, no ads. **7-DAY FREE TRIAL** Try everything free for 7 days. After the trial, HomeBaseAI is $5.99/month or $49.99/year (save 30%). Cancel anytime. Your saved data is always accessible even if your subscription lapses.
