F-011: AI Features

Status: 💡 Proposed · Priority: P2 · Updated: Mar 4, 2026

Summary

AI-powered features using Claude to reduce friction for tenants and landlords — natural language search, description generation, auto-translation, and smart amenity tagging.

Requirements

• [ ] Natural language search bar that translates queries into structured filters
• [ ] Listing description generator from landlord bullet points
• [ ] On-demand FR/EN translation of listing descriptions (cached)
• [ ] Smart amenity tagging from description text
• [ ] Graceful fallback when AI parsing fails

Design

See product analysis for detailed feature specs.

Key components:

• AI Search: User query → Claude structured output → existing filter system. Bilingual input support (FR/EN).
• Description Generator: Bullet points in → polished paragraph out. Tone options (professional, casual). Landlord can edit before saving.
• Auto-Translation: On-demand via Claude, cached in DB. Landlords can review/edit translations.
• Amenity Tagging: Parse description for keywords, suggest tags with confidence scores.

Open questions:

• API cost management — cache aggressively? Rate limit AI features?
• Which Claude model? Haiku for search parsing (fast, cheap), Sonnet for description generation (quality)?
• Should translations be triggered automatically on publish, or only on-demand?
