Last updated: April 19, 2025

🔧 What is HomeHero AI?

HomeHero AI is a mobile app that helps you fix common home repair issues using artificial intelligence. It provides step-by-step guidance, tool and material checklists, and smart suggestions based on your needs.


💬 How do I use the app?

Just open the app and type your question like:
“How do I patch a hole in drywall?”
HomeHero AI will walk you through the steps, explain what tools you'll need, and help you complete the repair.


📸 Can I upload photos?

Not yet — but this feature is coming soon! In the future, you’ll be able to take a photo of a problem (like a leaky faucet or damaged wall) and receive visual-based guidance.


👤 Do I need to create an account?

No. HomeHero AI uses anonymous user IDs, so you can use the app without signing up or sharing personal information.


🔒 Is my data private?

Yes. Your chat history is stored only on your device and is never shared or sold. You can clear your history anytime using the Clear Chat History button in the app.


📱 Is HomeHero AI free?

The base version of the app is free to download and use. We offer a premium features subscription to support advanced tools, offline access, or image-based guidance.


🛠️ What kind of repairs can the app help with?

HomeHero AI can help with:
- Basic plumbing (e.g. unclogging drains, fixing leaks)
- Electrical (e.g. replacing light switches)
- Wall repairs (e.g. patching drywall)
- Furniture assembly
- Hanging shelves, art, and more
- Appliance troubleshooting
- And many other DIY tasks


🧠 What powers the AI?

HomeHero AI is powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4o and GPT-4o Mini models. These AI models are trained on massive datasets, including home repair knowledge and step-by-step instructions.


💾 Can I save or share my repairs?

For now, your repair history is saved locally. In future updates, we plan to allow exporting logs and saving favorite fixes.


🚫 What if I make a mistake using the app?

Always read instructions carefully and assess your skill level. If you’re ever unsure or dealing with a safety-critical task, we recommend calling a professional. HomeHero is a guide, not a replacement for expert help in dangerous situations.


🔧 How do I delete my data?

Go to the app’s menu and tap Clear Chat History. This will delete all local interaction data.
