Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before getting started.
What is Hovra AI?
Hovra AI is an AI-powered advisor for US homeowners planning a renovation or construction project. It gives you expert-level tools — budget checks, contractor interview questions, quote checklists, and more — without needing to hire a consultant.
Is it really free to start?
Yes. Every project includes a free Budget Reality Check — you can find out if your budget is realistic and where people typically underestimate costs, no credit card required.
What do I get when I pay the $9?
You unlock all 7 AI tools for that project: Materials Primer, Project Brief, Contractor Interview Questions, Quote Checklist, Progress Checklist, and Punch List Generator. It's a one-time payment per project — no subscription.
How is this different from just asking ChatGPT?
Hovra AI is purpose-built for renovation projects. Each tool uses expert prompts trained on construction industry knowledge — you don't need to know what to ask. Just describe your project and get actionable, structured guidance tailored to your specific situation.
Do I need construction experience to use it?
No — that's the point. Hovra AI is designed for homeowners who don't have a construction background. It translates complex decisions into plain language so you can walk into any contractor conversation prepared.
How accurate is the AI advice?
The tools provide general guidance based on common construction practices in the US. They're designed to help you ask better questions and spot potential issues — not to replace a licensed contractor or inspector. Always verify important decisions with qualified professionals.
Can I use it for any type of project?
Yes. Hovra AI works for kitchen and bathroom renovations, additions, new construction, roofing, flooring, and more. When you create a project you describe your specific situation and the tools tailor their output accordingly.
Is my project information private?
Yes. Your project details are only visible to you. We don't share or sell your data.
Can I have more than one project?
Yes. You can create as many projects as you want. Each project gets a free Budget Reality Check, and you can unlock all 7 tools for any project with a separate $9 payment.
