It’s the answer to “where’s the warranty?”, “when was the roof done?” and “who installed this?” without digging through a drawer, a folder and six inboxes.
Why it matters
Every company that touches your home keeps its own records. The insurer has the policy. The lender has the escrow. The county has the permits and the assessment. Each contractor has the invoice and the serial number. The manufacturer has the warranty.
Nobody holds the whole house, except you. And most of us hold it in a shoebox.
That works fine until the day it doesn’t:
- The water heater fails and you need the model, the install date and the warranty, tonight.
- A hailstorm hits and the insurer wants to know how old the roof is.
- You’re choosing between repair and replace, and nobody remembers what the last repair cost.
- You sell, and the buyer asks for every permit and receipt you have.
A system of record turns those moments from a search into a lookup.
What belongs in it
- The house itself. Address, year built, size, lot, and what the county’s public record says about it.
- Its systems and things. Water heater, furnace, AC, roof, windows, appliances: make, model, serial number, install date, and where each one is.
- The papers. Inspection report, closing documents, manuals, warranties, permits, insurance declarations, invoices and receipts. Originals, not just notes about them.
- The work. What was done, when, by whom, and what it cost.
- The people. Every plumber, electrician, roofer and service company that has worked on the home, with how to reach them.
- Where each fact came from. “Water heater installed 2021” should point to the invoice that says so. A fact with no source is a guess.
How to start one, with or without Homaic
- Pick one home for it. One folder, one notebook, or one app. Not three.
- Empty the drawer. Gather the closing folder, the inspection report, manuals, warranties and the last few years of receipts.
- Walk the house with your phone. Photograph the label on every major system and appliance. The model and serial number are what you’ll need later.
- Search your email for “warranty”, “invoice”, “estimate”, “inspection” and your street address. Save what you find in the same place.
- List your people. Who you call for plumbing, heat, electrical, roof and yard.
- Look up your public record. Your county assessor’s website lists what the county thinks your house is. Check it against what you know.
- Write down the source. For every date or fact you record, note which paper it came from.
- Add as you go. Each new invoice or warranty goes in the same day. That habit is the whole system.
How Homaic does it
- Your address starts it. We read the public record: the county’s facts, the flood map, the soil, the climate.
- Add a thing with a photo, a forwarded email or a spreadsheet.
- Forward the invoice or the warranty email to your home’s own address. It lands in Just arrived, and you file it.
- A spreadsheet you add shows you every row it read before anything is saved.
- Ask about anything in the record.
- Invite your household, a neighbor, a friend or a landlord. They can read by default. You grant more, or take it back.
Promises you can check
- You file what comes in. Documents and emails you send in land in Just arrived. Nothing from them reaches the record until you file it. Connect your own AI agent and it can read your record and add to it. It cannot change or delete anything. Check it
- Facts keep their source. Every fact about your things and your house keeps where it came from: a document, a photo, a list, or you. What you file is kept byte for byte. Check it
- No ads. No ads. No ad pixels. Check it
- Nothing is sold. Homaic never sells any home’s record or anyone’s data. Check it
- The AI is named. Anthropic reads what you ask and the documents you add. OpenAI makes it searchable. Neither trains on it. It turns off in Settings. Check it
