Deposit Hawk
Claude Build DayDeposit Hawk helps US renters recover security deposits their landlords illegally withheld — something nearly every renter faces and almost none fight, because they'd never call a lawyer. It's a tool that acts, not a chatbot that answers. You photograph the landlord's deduction letter; Opus 4.8's vision extracts each claimed deduction, checks it against California Civil Code §1950.5 (every citation verbatim from the live statute), and computes the exact amount owed in deterministic code — e.g. $2,000 wrongfully withheld plus up to a 2× bad-faith penalty, up to $6,000. Then it does the things a chatbot can't: generates and mails a real USPS certified demand letter with tracking, prefills the official SC-100 small-claims form, and routes low-confidence items to human review. Spanish-first, mobile-first, free. The output is a filed-ready legal action with cited evidence - not advice.
