🧰 Before you start

🪜 Steps (tick as you go)

  1. ☐
    1. Try the idea for free first

    Take 3-4 photos of one room and use the 'Room from photos' prompt below in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. You'll see the kind of list an AI can write from pictures.

  2. ☐
    2. Book a demo

    Ask an AI inventory supplier (Wooma is the one in this story) for a demo and free trial. Ask how its AI handles each room, what the report looks like and whether it connects to your system.

  3. ☐
    3. Agree your report layout

    Decide what every report must include: rooms in order, meter readings, keys, smoke alarms, cleanliness, and a condition word for each item (good, fair, poor).

  4. ☐
    4. Do one property both ways

    On your first trial property, do your usual inventory and the AI one. Compare detail, accuracy and time taken.

  5. ☐
    5. Take good photos

    Shoot each wall from the doorway, then close-ups of any marks, damage or wear, in daylight with the lights on. Clear, straight photos give better AI notes.

  6. ☐
    6. Check before you sign

    Read the AI's notes room by room and fix anything it got wrong. You, not the app, are responsible for the report.

  7. ☐
    7. Send it for agreement

    Send the report to the tenant and ask them to confirm or comment within a set number of days. Keep their reply with the report.

💬 Prompts to copy

💬 Room from photos
These photos show the [room name] of a rental home at move-in. Write an inventory section for this room:
1. A list of every item and fitting you can see (walls, floor, ceiling, doors, windows, lights, sockets, furniture, appliances).
2. For each: a short description and a condition word (good / fair / poor) with the reason.
3. Any marks, damage or wear, described precisely (what, where, roughly how big).
4. Anything you can't see clearly, listed as 'check in person'.
Describe only what is visible. Don't guess brand names or measurements.
💬 Move-out comparison
Here is the move-in inventory for [room] and photos of the same room at move-out. Compare them item by item: unchanged, fair wear and tear, or new damage. For new damage, describe it precisely and point to the photo. Don't suggest costs or deductions; list facts only.
