Homie lives inside your deals and is available through two channels: chat inside each deal, and email by sending messages to homie@oun.homes. Every deal has its own chat where Homie has full context about that transaction’s documents, data, and history.
How to start a chat
From the dashboard
- Click the chat icon on any deal card
- If a chat already exists, it opens your conversation
- If not, a new chat is created for that deal
From the documents page
When you’re inside a deal, use the chat button to open Homie for that specific transaction.
How the conversation works
Chat with Homie like you would with a person. There’s no special syntax or commands — just type what you need in plain English.
Ask a question:
“What’s the closing date on this deal?”
Request an action:
“Draft a purchase agreement”
Give multiple instructions:
“Set the buyer name to John Smith and update the closing date to May 15”
Homie responds in the chat with results, confirmations, and any documents it creates or modifies.
Attaching files
You can attach files to your messages:
- Click the attachment icon in the chat input
- Select up to 5 files
- Send your message with the attachments
Homie processes attached documents — it can extract data, add them to the deal, and file them into the right folders. You can also attach files for context when asking questions.
Downloading documents from chat
When Homie creates or retrieves a document, it appears as a downloadable attachment in the chat. Click to download it directly.
Chat history
Your conversation with Homie is preserved for the life of the deal. You can scroll back to see previous requests, responses, and documents. Each deal has its own separate chat history.
Viewing Homie’s thought process
For recent messages, you can see the steps Homie took to complete your request — what it did, in what order, and the results of each step.
Be specific about what you want. Instead of “update the document,” try “set the buyer name on the purchase agreement to Jane Smith.” The more detail you give, the better the result.
