Rental Pilot

Rental Pilot Preflight: film the unit, it checks itself, a person decides. Every time a rental unit goes out or comes back, someone walks around it and types in the hour meter by hand. When a dent shows up later, nobody can prove when it happened. In our own equipment rental company's records for the last 12 months, about 1 in 5 hand-typed meter readings was impossible, most returns had no reading or photo, and damage was billed once. With Preflight, the driver films a short walkaround at delivery and PICK UP and says what they see. Meta's models read the meters, look for damage and transcribe the driver. The engine then checks its own work: meter readings must agree across independent reads and fit the unit's history, a second model takes another look at every finding, and unclear ones go to a senior model. Anything the driver mentioned that the AI did not flag goes to a person. A person approves every finding, which opens a work order. It never bills on its own. Rental Pilot, our rental software, existed before the hackathon and is not part of this entry's judged work. The inspection engine and the Preflight features were built Oct 26 to Nov 4, 2026, and our crews filmed real walkarounds on job sites and in the yard for our field tests. Measured in single, untuned runs: 14 of 17 readable hour meters read right on real field photos; 22 of 24 spoken damages found in voice notes (synthetic voices); 8 of 9 painted-in damages caught with 0 false flags on 12 no-damage pairs; 43 of 49 damaged hoses caught on real public photos. In a crew field test on five generators, all 3 meters it reported were right, 3 wrong first reads were replaced by re-reads that agreed, and 1 was withheld when the reads disagreed. Limits are listed in the README. Try it without keys: `make demo` in the repo.

Username: judge. Password: MetaTestMetaTest1234#. Try it with test photos, no filming (about 2 minutes per photo). The damage in the test photos was painted by Muse Image on a photo of our own heater. Photos are in docs/judge-kit in the repo. 1. Log in at the link above. On the dashboard, under Today's Tasks, open the PICK UP at 4410 ASPEN RIDGE WAY NW (unit SFG-009). 2. Scroll to the Preflight card, read the notice and click I agree. 3. Click Record again and choose sfg009-after-1-TEST.jpg. It accepts a photo. The card updates by itself. 4. If it says "No new damage found", someone got there first or the engine missed it. Upload photo 2, then photo 3. 5. Click Review findings, then Approve. A work order opens: see All walkarounds > Open work order.
