What happens when you give a bunch of Rently-ers a challenge, some AI tools, and 48 hours? You get ideas so good, they don’t just win hackathons—they make it into production. 🚀
Here’s how some of our AI Hackathon projects are already transforming the way people rent.
Smarter Tenant Screening with AI-assisted KYC
Landlords and agents need to know they can trust their tenants but traditional checks can be slow and messy. That’s why our AI-assisted KYC tool now lives inside BOSS, our back office system for B2B partners.
Upload your documents, let AI do the heavy lifting, and get real-time updates in Slack. The result? Faster credit risk assessments, less manual work, and quicker approvals for tenants.
Because moving in should be about unpacking boxes, not waiting on paperwork. 📦
Meet the TA Checker Bot: Your Rental Sidekick
Contracts can be intimidating. Enter the Rently TA Checker Bot, born from our hackathon project HonestLee.
Now, renters can upload their tenancy agreement on Telegram and get:
✔ A fairness score (landlord vs. tenant)
✔ Flagged clauses that may be unfair
✔ Suggestions to balance the deal
It’s free, instant, and confidential—helping renters sign with confidence.

What’s Next: Rethinking Rental Search
We’re not stopping there. Our hackathon also sparked a marketplace search project that’s set to reimagine how you find your next home. Think less scrolling, more matching.
Stay tuned it’s going to make house-hunting a whole lot smarter. 👀
Hackathons are about bold ideas, fast execution, and a dash of friendly competition. But at Rently, they’re also about building tools that renters and landlords can actually use today.
From faster screenings to fairer contracts and soon smarter search, our AI-driven experiments are becoming real solutions that make renting simpler, safer, and smarter.
And this is just the beginning. 💡
