Field notes

The service uses text messages as its interface: users send an address or listing link, then receive a breakdown covering purchase-price taxes, insurance, MUD districts, and loan assumptions. Its sample for 2104 Alta Vista Ave shows a $4,563 monthly estimate against a $4,181 listing-site figure, with taxes and insurance accounting for the $382 difference. The page also presents an AI question-answering layer and a human handoff to Christine Hsu.
