# Homi

> Home hunting made easy, social, and fun. Homi turns scattered property listings and family group chats into a structured, collaborative workspace powered by an AI that understands your story — not just filter criteria.

Homi is an AI-powered collaborative property search platform. Users create collections of listings, invite partners, family, and brokers, and track properties through stages (incoming, qualified, will_view, will_bid, acquired). Every collection has a plaintext "story" — generated from a voice or chat interview — that captures who the searcher is, what they are hoping to achieve, and what matters to them emotionally. The story powers AI reviews, portal scouting, and match notifications across 62+ listing providers in 17+ countries.

Homi supports three listing types: buying, long-term renting, and short-term rentals. It works across Finn.no (Norway), Hemnet (Sweden), Funda (Netherlands), Rightmove (UK), Zillow (US), and dozens more.
