Inspiration

CoStar mentioned Real Estate and AI, we wondered how we could integrate both and came up with the idea of making a chatbot that helps you with finding a suitable area to live in based on your conditions, wants, and needs.

What it does

INHABIT is an AI-powered platform that combines intelligent chatbot technology with interactive mapping to guide you through the complex process of choosing a neighborhood. Whether you're a student looking for a vibrant community, a family searching for the best schools, or a professional seeking the perfect work-life balance, INHABIT personalizes your search.

Our advanced AI analyzes your specific needs—budget, lifestyle preferences, and must-have amenities—and cross-references them with comprehensive neighborhood data. We provide insights on everything from local culture and safety to nearby parks and public transportation.

But we don't just give you data; we help you interpret it. Our interactive map feature allows you to visualize and explore potential areas, while our chatbot offers conversational, context-aware guidance every step of the way.

With INHABIT, you're not just finding a place to live—you're discovering a community that fits your life. We turn the overwhelming task of relocating into an exciting journey of discovery. Navigate Your Next Neighborhood with INHABIT, and turn your ideal living situation from a dream into a GPS coordinate.

How we built it

We built it mostly using HTML/CSS and JavaScript for front end and mostly Python for the backend with a lot of libraries.

Challenges we ran into

Integrating the AI into the program was somewhat challenging and took us quite a bit to figure out. We were able to debug and fix most of our other errors relating to formatting errors and UI issues.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We successfully implemented an AI chatbot and made it work flawlessly. Integrated a navigational user-friendly map with Mapbox API.

What we learned

We learned how to integrate front-end and back-end using tools such as Node.js and Python. We also gained experience using AI chatbot APIs in a real-world scenario.

What's next for InHabit

Further development of features that would make the UX more appealing to the user such as but not limited to automated POI searches, weather data, crime rate data, demographic data, and more.
