Project overview
Casamo: Stay Audits for Remote Workers overview
A short overview of the problem, solution, and result.
Starting Point
Remote workers booking 2-8 week furnished stays face a high-cost decision with low-trust marketplace data. A listing can claim Wi-Fi, workspace, kitchen, or laundry without proving that the stay will actually work for weeks of living and working.What Shipped

Casamo gives remote workers a clearer path from a noisy search to a long-stay accommodation they can book with more confidence.Summary
Casamo is an AI-powered travel decision tool for remote workers booking furnished stays for weeks at a time.
It scans Airbnb and Booking.com listings, checks the evidence behind each stay, and turns a noisy marketplace search into a ranked report with one recommended pick, two backups, and the questions still worth asking the host.
Context
The project grew out of a narrow apartment-search prototype, but the product direction changed once the real buyer problem became clearer.
Remote workers already have plenty of travel search interfaces. What they need is confidence that a stay can actually support living and working for multiple weeks before they commit money, time, and travel plans.
The business risk was building a generic Airbnb search clone. The useful wedge was smaller and clearer: scan a shortlist across marketplaces and show which stays have enough evidence to trust.
Approach
Lead with evidence instead of search convenience.
Marketplace filters can say a listing has Wi-Fi, workspace, kitchen, or laundry without proving those claims. Casamo checks the listing against photos, amenities, text, reviews, missing evidence, and host questions.
Make the report decision-first.
The report leads with the strongest candidate and two backups. Scores and evidence still matter, but the product answers the actual booking question first: where should I investigate next?
Give customers a paid way to start.
The first commercial wedge was a $29 Trip Scan Pass: enter destination, dates, budget, guests, and must-haves, then get a report that ranks the strongest stays by practical long-stay fit.
Solution
The product is built around the evidence remote workers actually need before booking: a usable workspace, real kitchen and laundry details, visible risks, and the host questions still worth asking.
The report workflow compares the strongest candidates, shows tradeoffs, saves the result, and keeps the user focused on the next practical question: which stay should I check with the host before booking?
The Work
Gave customers a clear way to start.
The app collects destination, dates, guests, budget, and must-haves, then packages the result as a $29 Trip Scan Pass instead of asking people to commit to a broad travel subscription.
Built the core stay-audit workflow.
Casamo checks Airbnb and Booking.com options, compares the strongest candidates, and saves a report the traveler can return to while deciding.
Made the recommendation inspectable.
Reports preserve claims, photo evidence, review snippets, missing proof, concerns, and host questions so the user can judge the recommendation instead of blindly trusting it.
Launched enough product around the recommendation.
Casamo now has accounts, trip passes, usage limits, saved reports, analytics, email, and the background processing needed for longer listing scans.
Impact
Casamo is live as a focused MVP: a remote-work stay audit product with automated scans, saved reports, payments, usage limits, analytics, and a clearer path from noisy listing search to a stay worth checking with the host.
