Every object finds its next home. Before anything goes in the bin, REHOME shows you who nearby needs it, how to turn it into something new, or what it's worth, and makes the next step take one tap.
2. Why people can't resist it
Guilt to good deed. Throwing things away feels bad. Giving a bike to a kid two streets away feels great.
Instant valuation. Everyone wants to know "what's this worth?" It's a mini treasure hunt.
Neighbourhood pride. A live kg-saved counter and a street-by-street leaderboard turn decluttering into a team sport.
3. How it works for real
Snap. A vision model (Gemini 2.5 Flash or GPT-4o-mini via OpenRouter) identifies item, materials, brand-free category, size and visible wear, and estimates weight from category tables.
Value. A fast cheap model (DeepSeek) compares against recent second-hand sale prices for that category and city to give a price range.
Match. Neighbour requests ("need a kid's bike, 6 to 8 years") are embedded; we match by category, size, distance and urgency, with charities and schools prioritized.
Upcycle. A frontier LLM (Claude Sonnet) writes a step-by-step project using the detected materials, with tools and time.
Impact. Weight times category emission factors from published lifecycle studies gives the CO2 estimate, always labelled as an estimate.
Pickup. Time slot picker and a handover code. Optional sale payments through Stripe or USDC on Base with a smart wallet using email login, so crypto stays invisible.
4. Cost per use
About $0.003 per snap (vision plus pricing), $0.01 when an upcycle guide is generated. Giving is free forever. Revenue: 8% fee on sales made in the app, city councils and housing associations pay for a white-label "before bulky waste" step (cheaper than collection), and repair cafés pay for featured listings.
5. Growth loop
Every pickup brings a new person into the app (the receiver installs it to claim). Givers share "this chair found a home" cards with the kg saved. Street leaderboards push neighbours to join. Every Sunday a sweep suggests five things from one room and matches them to neighbours' wishlists, so the kilograms kept keep climbing and each pickup pulls in another neighbour.
6. Risks and guardrails
No exact addresses shown until both sides confirm; pickup at the door or a public spot. Rating and report on every handover.
Banned: food, medicine, weapons, car seats past expiry, recalled products, cribs not meeting safety standards. Vision flags these.
Photos are checked for faces, house numbers and documents and blurred before posting.
CO2 and kg figures are clearly labelled estimates with the method shown.
7. MVP build order
Snap and identify with vision, plus a price range for 20 common categories.
Neighbour requests and a simple give flow with chat.
