🐝 Rent-Swarm: The Tenant's AI Toolkit

Level the playing field. Rent-Swarm is an advanced AI dashboard that empowers tenants with institutional-grade intelligence to find, analyze, and negotiate their next lease. Access LIVE at https://api.rent-swarm.tech

✨ Key Agents

Rent-Swarm is composed of specialized AI agents working in concert:

• 🕵️ The Scout: An autonomous scraper that finds listings (Craigslist integrated), extracts hidden data (like image IDs), and assigns a "Scam Score" and "True Cost" estimate.
• ⚖️ The Lawyer: A RAG-powered legal analyst. Upload a PDF lease, and it flags risky clauses, illegal terms, and red flags based on local jurisdiction laws.
• 📈 The Forecaster: Predictive analytics engine. Tells you if a unit is overpriced based on historical data and market trends.
• 💬 The Negotiator: Generates professional, leverage-based negotiation emails. It uses data from the Scout and Forecaster to draft persuasive copy.
• 📂 Intelligence Dossier: Summarizes all findings for a specific listing into a downloadable, classified-style PDF report.
