Remi is Remodelry's free AI intake companion. Not a chatbot. Not a lead form. A warm, structured 10 to 15 minute conversation built on 20+ years of residential construction field knowledge — designed to make the homeowner feel heard and the Concierge visit possible before anyone sets foot in your home.
Every homeowner who has filled out a "free estimate" form online knows what happens next. The phone rings — multiple times — from contractors who know nothing about the project and are calling to close a job.
Remi is the opposite of that. Remi is a purpose-built AI intake specialist — trained on construction field knowledge, behavioral psychology, and the Remodelry methodology. She asks about your project the way a skilled professional would: one question at a time, in the right order, listening to what you actually say and responding to it.
She can see photos you upload. She identifies design direction from inspiration images. She asks about the household — not just the project. She captures how you make decisions, what you're worried about, and what success looks like to you. And when the conversation ends, two things happen simultaneously that have never happened before in residential remodeling.
Susan uploaded a photo of her 90s kitchen. Remi saw it — described exactly what was there, identified the design era, and immediately asked for inspiration photos. Susan wasn't sure about the direction. Remi helped her articulate it. The conversation took about 10 minutes.
An actual Remi conversation — names changed for privacy.
The same 10-minute conversation produces two completely different documents — each written for a different audience, each serving a different purpose, both produced the moment the conversation ends.
A warm, plain-language document that lands in the homeowner's inbox within seconds of the conversation ending. Personal, specific, and surprisingly accurate — because it is built from what they actually said.
A complete project dossier that no contractor has ever received before walking through a door. Technical scope, behavioral profile, budget specifics, design direction, flags, and strategic guidance for the visit — all from a 10-minute conversation.
This is what Remi produces for the Concierge — actionable intelligence translated from a homeowner conversation into technical context that allows them to walk in prepared. No other process in residential remodeling produces this before a first visit.
While Remi talks about your project, she is also reading something else — how you communicate, how you make decisions, what your emotional driver is, and what your relationship with the budget looks like. This behavioral layer runs silently throughout the conversation and produces a named archetype that shapes everything about the Concierge visit.
The archetype is never announced to the homeowner. It shapes how Remi asks questions, how the Concierge approaches the visit, and how the Clarity Package is written. A Dreamer gets warmth and vision. An Investor gets competence and specifics. A Protector gets honest flags named early and clearly.
This is the difference between a conversation that feels generic and one that feels like someone actually understood you — before they ever set foot in your home.
Remi runs on Claude — one of the most capable AI models available — with a purpose-built system prompt encoding 20+ years of residential construction field knowledge, behavioral psychology, and the Remodelry methodology. She knows about moisture testing, vapor barriers, egress windows, cabinet lead times, countertop sequencing, SoulMap archetypes, and what questions to ask about a 90s kitchen when someone uploads a photo. She is not general purpose. She is built for this.
Remi does not exist to collect your contact information and sell it to contractors. She exists to produce two documents — one for you, one for the Concierge — that make the entire Remodelry process possible. Your information stays with Remodelry. No contractor receives it without your explicit consent through the Remodelry introduction process.
Remi cannot see your space. She cannot measure. She cannot assess infrastructure. She cannot read the room the way a person can. What she can do is ensure that the person who does those things arrives already knowing your project — so that the 60 to 90 minutes of the Concierge visit is spent going deeper, not starting from scratch.
Remi is an AI. She occasionally misses nuance, asks a question that could be sharper, or produces a First Look that needs refinement. The Concierge visit is designed to correct and deepen everything Remi captured. The First Look is a starting point, not a final document. Its value is that it exists at all — that you receive something specific and useful within seconds of the conversation ending rather than waiting days for a callback from someone who doesn't know your project.
People need someone to talk to about their project before they need someone to sell them something. Remi is where that conversation starts.
10 to 15 minutes. A personalized First Look in your inbox immediately after. Your Remodelry Concierge in touch within 24 hours — already knowing your project, already on your side, ready to turn what Remi captured into a Clarity Package that travels with your project from the first estimate to the last brush stroke.
