A Ten Minute Phone Video Replaces Hours of Home Inspections. We Demo the AI Doing It.
Episode Description
This week we sit down with Zach Rattner, CTO and co-founder of Yembo, to demo the computer vision platform that turns a ten minute phone walkthrough into a full home inventory, 3D model, and floor plan. Deployed in 35 countries, running thousands of inspections every day for moving companies and property insurers — and the end user never even knows AI is involved. We also dig into Claude Fable 5 being pulled without coding access, the 25,000 Chinese accounts exploiting the model, and whether AI has finally entered its regulatory adolescence.
We cover:
- What Yembo does — computer vision that deeply understands the interior of homes
- How a ten minute phone video replaces a 60 to 90 minute in-home inspection
- The visual inventory — color coded, numbered, time stamped photos of every item
- Why the real AI opportunity is doing what was previously impossible, not just faster
- How Yembo embedded AI in a workflow where the end user never knows it exists
- The insurance use case — 3D model and floor plan from a single video walkthrough
- Why 30 percent of their patents are on guiding the camera capture without any training
- Claude Fable 5 pulled and reinstated without coding access — what it means for developers
- AI reaching regulatory adolescence and whether the framework arrives in time
- 25,000 Chinese accounts exploiting the model and the KYC failure behind it
If you are building with AI, working in insurance or logistics, or want an honest take on what happens when regulators start touching frontier models, this episode is for you.
