Unseen Apartments
Client: Unseen Apartments is a US-based proptech platform that connects apartment seekers with verified local gig workers who conduct in-person apartment tours on their behalf. The platform enables prospective renters to evaluate properties remotely, saving time while providing authentic, on-the-ground insights.
The Challenge
As an early-stage startup, Unseen Apartments needed to validate its business concept and launch a market-ready MVP within a limited timeline and budget. The platform required an intuitive user experience, reliable booking workflows, and a scalable technical foundation that would support future growth while enabling rapid time-to-market.
Our Approach
We collaborated closely with the founders to define the MVP scope, prioritize core features, and design a user experience that aligned with the product vision.
Our team developed the frontend and backend using React.js and Ruby on Rails, enabling users to discover apartments, connect with verified gig workers, and manage tour requests through a seamless experience. We also implemented an automated CI/CD pipeline to accelerate development and ensure reliable deployments.
To enhance the user experience, we introduced a lightweight Generative AI-powered apartment scoring system that analyzed property descriptions and provided users with additional insights to support their decision-making.
Throughout the engagement, we worked closely with the customer to ensure the project was delivered on time, within budget, and ready for market launch.
