Comprehensive Home Maintenance Automation Agent

This is a submission for the Runner H "AI Agent Prompting" Challenge

What I Built

I built an intelligent home maintenance automation agent that acts as a personal property manager. It tracks all maintenance tasks—routine, seasonal, and urgent—and ensures they’re handled automatically or flagged for action. This system helps homeowners avoid costly repairs by staying proactive and organized.
