AI Developer for Property Inspection Tool

Job ID: 39286934

Budget: $250 – $750 AUD

Project Overview

We are seeking an AI developer to help us design and implement a smart solution that transforms the way we conduct quality inspections of residential properties. The goal is to streamline our current manual process by enabling video-based inspections with voice commentary, and using AI to organise, extract, and present the findings in a usable report format.

This solution will ultimately allow a local inspector to walk through a house once with a high-quality camera and voiceover, then have a remote team member use the processed output to complete the inspection report — saving significant time and improving accuracy.



Key Objectives:
Design a solution using existing AI tools and platforms to:
• Ingest high-resolution video footage with voice commentary.
• Automatically transcribe and categorise spoken comments into predefined checklist sections (approx. 230 items per property).
• Optionally generate written comments from voice inputs.
• Timestamp commentary for cross-referencing with specific points in the video.
• Provide output that is editable and easily transferrable into our current reporting app.



Current Workflow:
• Inspections are currently conducted via an app that allows manual input of comments and photos for each section of a house.
• Inspectors use a predefined checklist (~230 items) organised by room.

We envision a revised process where:
1. A local inspector slowly records a walk-through of the property with voiceover commentary referencing the checklist.
2. The video and audio are uploaded for post-processing.
3. A remote team member uses the AI-generated output to finalise the report.



Project Requirements:

AI Capabilities:
• Transcription of voiceover commentary.
• Categorisation of comments into specific checklist items/sections.
Optional:
• Natural language summarisation or generation of written notes.
• Timestamps linked to each comment for reference.
Input/Output:
• Input: High-resolution video with audio (phone or camera).
• Output: Structured, editable data (e.g., a doc or structured JSON) that can be copied into our inspection app.

Technology:
• Open to stack suggestions.
• Preference for using existing platforms like OpenAI, Gemini, or Whisper if applicable.

Timeline:
• 1 month to working MVP or production-ready tool.

Budget:
• Undefined; please provide a ballpark or proposed cost range.



Ideal Candidate:
• Strong experience with AI/ML, especially in speech recognition, transcription, and NLP.
• Familiar with building tools that work with multimedia input (video/audio).
• Able to suggest or prototype workflows using existing APIs or AI platforms.
• Comfortable producing something functional that we can test and begin using right away.



Nice to Have:
• Experience with property tech or inspection/reporting tools.
• Ability to recommend future integration pathways (e.g. with Inspection Express).
