Immo-Lens, AI tool that estimates renovation costs in property listings
It automatically reads exposés and Energieausweis data to flag hidden costs and map suggested measures to specific German subsidy programs — that subsidy-matching is the concrete, useful twist that lifts it above generic 'property AI' demos. The site also bundles a financing stress-test and risk checks, which makes it feel like a working toolbox rather than a toy; my main questions are about ML transparency, pricing of remediation items, and robustness on messy PDFs/listings.
