AI agent skills for home buying emphasize transparency about limitations

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has created a set of AI agent skills called HousingWizard, designed to assist homebuyers with tasks like due diligence, offer negotiation, and contract review. A key principle in its design is transparency about its limitations, with every output including a section detailing what the AI cannot verify. The skills are built using plain Python 3 with no external dependencies and store data in plain files to ensure user privacy and allow for easy inspection of the AI's knowledge base. While tested on fixtures, the system is still in its early stages and is limited to New York City for permit-related queries, explicitly stating it does not provide legal, financial, or inspection advice. AI
