I designed Hoomli, an AI-powered mobile app that transforms the home rental and property search experience. The app’s main goal is to help first-time homebuyers, renters, and property investors find homes that match their lifestyle, budget, and preferences. Traditional property listings can be overwhelming, requiring people to manually filter through thousands of options. With Hoomli, people receive personalized recommendations through an intuitive interface featuring virtual home tours and lifestyle-based filters (proximity to schools, nightlife, and workplaces).

By eliminating the inefficiencies of manual property searches, Hoomli simplifies the process, making it easier for people to explore and connect with suitable properties.

Thank you for exploring the journey of Hoomli. This project was more than just designing an app—it was a transformative opportunity to redefine how people find their future homes in the digital age. By combining creative storytelling with rigorous user research, iterative design, and AI-driven insights, I transformed a complex problem into an elegant, user-centered solution that simplifies home searches while delivering personalized value.

The Design it's clear and concise so very fits for the implementation the UI Design Principle and UX Laws


Your design is research-based, user centered. A solid UX design case study with well-presented story telling. The visual design is also minimalist guiding users to complete their tasks efficiently.

Only one point: an interactive prototype of your design would be more effective to communicate with stakeholders.

Awesome work!


Good job, Taimosa! It's clean, straightforward. Foe the presentation, you've showcased improtant screens and features. As for the Ai search, it's nice addition but from ui designers perspective to better elevate that particular screen, add icons or interactions that are considered to be related with AI concept . E.g. sparkle icon, or bot or something that will stand out bit more either by color or by copy


Hey! I've checked out your Hoomli app design and wanted to share some thoughts.

What Works Well

Design & UX

  • Clean Visual Language: The blue/teal color scheme works well, conveying trust while feeling modern.
  • Intuitive Layout: Property cards present info in a scannable, well-organized format.
  • Smart Navigation: The bottom bar follows conventions and includes essential sections.
  • A well-developed UX process: What can be seen in the linked case study.

Product Thinking

  • Problem Identification: You've correctly identified that traditional property searches are overwhelming.
  • AI Application: Using AI for personalized recommendations directly addresses the core pain point.
  • Multiple Contact Options: Several ways to reach agents reduces friction in the process.

Improvement Opportunities

User Experience

  • Missing Onboarding: Consider adding a flow to collect user preferences for AI recommendations.
  • Role Clarity: The seller and buyer interfaces could use more visual differentiation.
  • Empty States: Design for when users have no saved properties or messages.

Features to Consider

  • Saved Searches: Allow users to save frequent search parameters.
  • Comparison Tool: Add ability to compare properties side-by-side.
  • Neighborhood Data: Include more lifestyle metrics (safety ratings, school quality, walkability).
  • Calendar Integration: Connect tour scheduling with calendar apps.

Business Questions

  • What's the revenue model? (Subscriptions, listing fees, commissions?)
  • How does the verification process work for agents?
  • Are there premium features planned?

Final Thoughts

Hoomli has strong potential to improve the property search experience. The UI is clean and professional, and the concept addresses a genuine need. With some refinement to the personalization features and user flows, it could deliver significant value to both property seekers and agents.

The next steps would be to develop a complete user journey, strengthen the lifestyle matching proposition, and design for edge cases. I'm particularly impressed by how you've maintained simplicity despite the complexity of real estate transactions.

Good work 🔥 - excited to see where this goes!

Hey Michał, thanks a ton for taking the time to check out Hoomli and sharing such a detailed review! 🙌 I really appreciate your positive take on the design. It’s great to hear that the case study communicates the thought process well! Your feedback on onboarding, role clarity, and empty states is spot-on. I’ll refine those areas to enhance personalization and user guidance. Also, I love the feature suggestions—saved searches and a comparison tool could be game-changers! For the business side: The revenue model is still evolving, but we're exploring a mix of subscription plans for premium features and commissions from successful deals. Agent verification will likely involve a mix of manual approvals and third-party data checks. Premium features are definitely in the pipeline—things like advanced AI filters, deeper neighborhood insights, and smart scheduling tools. I really appreciate the thoughtful insights and n
I am very glad that my words will help you. ✌️😊

Great design! And love the idea. I am just unclear, from the design pictures, how does AI search differ from the standard filters? And how does AI recommends me the property.

Also, I'd love to see how the Profile setup looks for Seller, Buyer, Agency etc...

Great work

Thanks for the helpful review, Filip. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to check out Hoomli and share your valuable opinion. To answer your question, AI search differs from standard filters by using AI technologies like OCR to identify relevant qualities that might not be available with filters. For example, AI can analyze visual details from property images and extract details from listing descriptions to provide more accurate and personalized search results. Regarding the Seller Account screen, it’s mostly similar to the customer version, with a few additional secondary screens, such as Subscriptions, for managing their plans. Lastly, I should mention that this design is just a concept to share and get feedback, not a full-fledged app with complete onboarding and app screens. Let me know if you have any other thoughts!
