Decades of homeownership can leave you swimming in paper—warranties, receipts, inspection reports, paint swatches and contact lists. Traditional methods like binders and spreadsheets leave much to be desired: they're hard to update, difficult to search and easy to misplace. Dib aims to replace that paper clutter with an AI-powered home assistant that remembers everything and answers your questions.

Turning Paper Trails into a Digital Bio

Building your digital home starts with collecting your documents. Dib lets you upload manuals, receipts, renovation notes and appliance information to create a detailed "bio" for your house. This process captures the information that often gets lost during renovations or between owners. Founder Alex Graham was inspired to build Dib after renovating houses with his wife and realizing how much valuable knowledge vanishes when owners rely on paper and memory.

An AI That Learns Your Home

Once your documents are uploaded, Dib's AI processes the data and learns about your home. Over time, it connects disparate pieces of information—maintenance logs, manuals and renovation details—so that it can answer questions accurately. Instead of flipping through binders or hunting through folders, you simply ask Dib.

Asking Questions and Getting Answers

After the AI learns your home, you can ask it practical questions and get instant answers. Example queries include: when the HVAC filter was last replaced, what brand and color of paint is in the guest bathroom, whether you have a warranty for your dishwasher and when it expires, or who installed your water heater and their contact information. Dib transforms static records into a conversational home knowledge base.

Replacing Binders and Spreadsheets

For years, homeowners have kept binders of receipts and spreadsheets of upgrades. These systems are easy to forget and require manual upkeep. Dib automates the process and makes it accessible from any device. Because the AI understands your data, you don't need to remember file names or tab positions—just ask and get the information.

Your Data, Your Control

Dib uses end-to-end encryption and industry-standard security practices to protect your sensitive information. You control who has access to your home profile, and you can share specific parts with family members, contractors or property managers when necessary. This ensures that your personal data remains secure while still being useful.

Conclusion

Homeowners no longer need to be bound by paper records and fading memories. By uploading documents and letting AI learn from them, Dib turns scattered information into a smart assistant that can recall details on demand. Whether you're double‑checking a paint color or confirming warranty coverage, Dib simplifies home management and preserves your home's story.
