Show HN: We made a photo search engine for homes for sale
We're a small team of 3 engineers, and wanted to make a better way to look for for properties online. Traditional portals (esp. outside of US) are just a bit rubbish for doing anything other than basic searching.
So we've:
- Created a crawler that reads through estate agents websites to find homes for sale
- Parses that through a series of LLMs and other models to understand each home in depth (e.g. floor type, location, total sqft)
- Parses every photo through an embeddings vector space so that people can search for whatever they want.
