Hint is a consumer AI startup, co-founded by Martha Stewart with engineer Kyle Rush, building a proactive AI home manager. Users enter their address and the app analyzes public property data, weather patterns, soil conditions, warranties, inspection reports, and insurance documents to build a home history and surface actionable advice, such as watering a foundation before summer damage or shopping for insurance before renewal, without human intervention. The company emphasizes that recommendations are blind to commercial deals to avoid affiliate conflicts. Hint raised a $10M seed round led by Slow Ventures, with Montauk Capital, Tusk Venture Partners, Amplo, Energy Impact Partners, Hannah Grey, and Brian Kelly participating. It launches on desktop and iOS, targeting homeowners who want to stay ahead of home maintenance and costs.
