AI-driven WhatsApp notification service for finding rental properties in the Netherlands.

The Challenge

Rental properties disappeared within 10 minutes of publication on platforms like Funda. Manual refreshing was unsustainable.

A 24/7 scanning and notification bot that immediately alerted users via WhatsApp when new properties met their criteria.

Users could express their preferences in natural language ("2 bedrooms in Amsterdam, max €1500"), providing a seamless, form-free experience.

Chosen for high penetration rate and low friction for users.

Processing thousands of real estate listings in real-time with advanced filtering.

Conversational interface and n8n automation for seamless user experience.

The product had active, real users who successfully used it to find properties faster.

Thousands of listings were processed, demonstrating the scalability of the initial design.

Real-time data processing, API integrations, and building production-ready AI products.
Despite product-market fit, unsustainable unit economics (€0.13 per message → €16+ per day with few users). A working product with users is not enough — unit economics must work.
Expertise gained and focus on profitable models are now fully applied to current ventures.
