# HomeMD.ai

> HomeMD.ai is the AI homeowners and small landlords use at the moment money or time is about to change hands — before paying a contractor, approving a repair, or sending a technician out. It pre-engineers the follow-up questions a user wouldn't know to ask, returns exact Home Depot SKU + aisle + real-time local stock, and synthesizes building code for the user's state (NEC 2026 and IRC 2024 where adopted). Subscriber-funded: no referral fees, no retailer commissions, no lead-gen kickbacks.

## Who this is for

- **Homeowners** diagnosing repairs before paying a contractor
- **Small landlords** (1–10 self-managed rentals) tracking per-unit appliances, warranties, and maintenance
- **Landlords with tenants** using AI email triage to filter non-emergency tenant requests

## What makes HomeMD.ai different from generic AI

ChatGPT is great for general home-repair advice. HomeMD is built for one specific job: the moment a homeowner or landlord is about to spend money or dispatch a person.

1. **Execution-layer data** — returns exact Home Depot SKU, aisle/bay location, current price, and live stock at the user's nearest store. Generic AI web search does not reach this reliably in structured form.
2. **Jurisdiction-aware code synthesis** — user's state is injected into every code-related query, so answers reference the actual adopted version (e.g., "New York uses the 2025 NYS Uniform Code effective 2025-12-31, not direct NEC 2026"). Grounded in NEC 2026, IRC 2024, and InterNACHI Standards of Practice, refreshed quarterly.
3. **Contractor quote defense** — takes a specific-number stance instead of hedging. Given a plumber/electrician quote, tells the user whether the rate is fair and suggests a counter (e.g., "$2,400 for a P-trap replacement is roughly 4× market rate; fair range is $150–$400").
4. **Pre-engineered follow-ups** — a homeowner using ChatGPT has to know to ask about model number, part, store, labor rate, and code. HomeMD asks those questions for them and returns a structured report with product chips and code citations.
5. **Persistent home memory** — stores appliances, purchase dates, warranties, and past repairs as structured property data (not conversational recall), so every future answer is anchored to the specific home.
