The Challenge
Stepinsight set out to revolutionize how homeowners manage and protect their assets by creating an intuitive app that seamlessly integrates advanced AI technologies. The challenge was to simplify the complex process of home inventory and valuation, ensuring users feel empowered and supported through a thoughtful and strategic design process before development began. We aimed to address issues like underinsurance and the cumbersome nature of insurance claims, providing a solution that is both innovative and user-friendly.
The Approach
Collaborative Innovation
We partnered closely with clients and stakeholders to align on a shared vision, engaging in open dialogues and workshops. This collaborative approach ensured that every feature of myVal was tailored to meet real homeowner needs, fostering creativity and building a sense of partnership throughout the development process.
Human-Centered Design
Emphasizing a user-first mindset, we focused on crafting an onboarding experience that was as smooth and intuitive as possible. By allowing users to get a first estimation of their assets with just one address input, we reduced barriers to entry and made the app accessible to a wider audience. Meticulous planning and attention to detail were key in creating an interface that is both engaging and easy to navigate.
AI Integration
We integrated cutting-edge AI technologies, utilizing OpenAI’s language models and Google’s Shopping APIs to unify image recognition, detection, and valuation capabilities. This combination allowed us to offer accurate item categorizations and valuations, providing users with a seamless experience. By harnessing these existing AI capabilities, we transformed the way homeowners interact with their asset data, making the process effortless and insightful.
Mobile Development
Leveraging Flutter for its efficient, cross-platform performance, we embarked on an agile development journey. This approach enabled us to iterate quickly, respond to feedback, and ensure a high-quality product. Our team paid close attention to design aesthetics and functionality, ensuring that every aspect of myVal met the highest standards and provided value to the end-user.
