# Mold Scanner AI — Full Reference

> Mold Scanner AI is an AI-powered mobile app that screens a photo of your home for mold. You photograph a suspect surface, the vision model reviews it, and you get a plain-English screening report on what it sees and what to do next. It is a screening tool, not a diagnosis or a replacement for a certified inspector. Built for homeowners and renters, not just remediation pros. Currently pre-launch: the iOS app is in private beta and access is via waitlist. The web tools on moldscanner.ai are free to use now.

## What it is and is not

- It is: an AI photo-screening app that flags possible mold and surrounding moisture cues, plus a library of free web tools and guides.
- It is not: a medical device, a diagnosis, a lab test, or a substitute for a licensed or ACAC-certified mold inspector. Hidden mold inside walls, HVAC, or subfloor needs physical inspection.
- Honesty note on coverage: a smartphone camera can only see surface-level mold. Anything uncertain or high-stakes (real estate, litigation, insurance) should go to a certified inspector.

## How it works

- Photograph a suspect surface in your home.
- The AI assesses the image and surrounding visual cues (rust on fixtures, ceiling staining, moisture indicators).
- You get a screening report in plain English, with guidance on next steps and when to call a professional.
- Quick scan covers the highest-risk spots fast; the full walkthrough covers a room-by-room hotspot checklist.

## Status and pricing

- The mobile app is in private beta, pre-launch. Join the waitlist on the homepage for an early invite.
- The web tools (humidity calculator, HVAC checklist, storm timer, post-flood checklist, tenant letter, black mold quiz, mold vs mildew checker) are free to use now.
- App pricing will be announced before launch and communicated to the waitlist.

## Privacy

- Photos are processed by the vision model and are not stored on the servers.
- EXIF location data is stripped before upload. All traffic is HTTPS encrypted.
