Turn inspection photos into suggestions you control

Hometrace Photo Analysis AI examines uploaded inspection photos together with the relevant report structure and existing notes. It can propose visible findings, spec values, and photo placements, but the inspector reviews, edits, accepts, or dismisses the output.

Who it is for

For inspectors who already document the property with photos

Photo analysis helps solo inspectors and teams move visible evidence into the right report sections without treating an image as a substitute for the inspection itself.

Finding suggestions

The model can propose visible defects, safety concerns, and other observations in the report section being analyzed.

Spec suggestions

Clear visual details such as materials, equipment labels, or manufacturer information can become proposed values for relevant spec fields.

Photo placement

The analysis can suggest which uploaded photo supports a proposed finding or spec so the evidence stays with the report item.

How it works

A manually triggered, review-first workflow

The inspector chooses when and where analysis runs. Bulk analysis covers the inspection structure, while inline analysis focuses on one spec or finding.

  1. Capture and upload photos

    Take photos in the mobile app or add them from the web dashboard, then let the selected photos finish syncing to cloud storage.

  2. Choose the analysis scope

    Trigger bulk analysis for the inspection or inline analysis for a particular spec or finding.

  3. Review structured suggestions

    Check each proposed finding, spec value, confidence cue, and photo attachment against the property and your own notes.

  4. Accept, edit, or dismiss

    Keep useful suggestions, correct wording or severity, change photos, and remove anything that does not match your professional judgment.

What to know

A photo never has the full inspection context

The model can reason only from the images and report context it receives. It cannot perform hands-on tests, see conditions outside the frame, or decide how a concern applies in a local jurisdiction.

  • Photo analysis is opt-in and runs only after the inspector triggers it.
  • Photos must upload before the server can analyze them.
  • Suggestions can be incomplete or wrong and require inspector review.
  • Each analysis use counts against the account monthly analysis quota.
