Step 1: Pace Yourself (Literally)
- The ReEmber’s AI processes around 5–15 images per second, which means if you stroll around like you’re filming a car chase, we’ll miss stuff. Think of it like you’re showing your items to your friend over facetime!
- On the Basic plan, take it slower. On the Pro plan we analyze more images per second, so you can move a bit quicker.
Step 2: Light It Up
- If your home looks like a cave, the AI is going to struggle.Natural daylight is your best friend.
- If you’re recording during night time, make sure all your light are on. Try to avoid weird shadows.
- If the video isn’t too pixelated of the dark and you can see the edges of items, the AI will do just fine.
Step 3: One Item, One Appearance
- We’re good at recognizing things when they’re on screen. Once an item leaves the frame and comes back, the app is probably going to think of it as a new item. That means duplicates.
- Duplicates aren’t the end of the world (you can multi-select + delete in seconds in your inventory or approval-screen), but clean footage = less work for you.
- Pro tip: Pretend you’re giving a tour of your stuff to a stranger. Once they’ve “seen” it, no need to re-introduce.
Step 4: Show It, Don’t Hide It
- If you can’t see it, neither can the AI. Show the whole object, not just the corner of it.
- Piles of clothes are recognized as piles of clothes. On the other hand, if you show three shirts separately, the app will recognize three different shirts. It’s up to you what level of recognition is enough for you.
Step 5: Embrace Imperfection
Yes, sometimes the AI will think your candle is a coffee mug. Or that one chair is three chairs. Once the AI even recognized a real life cat as a “panda toy” and we all had a laugh. That’s okay. Use to batch edit multiple items quickly or delete duplicates in bulk. Even with the occasional mix-up, ReEmber is still miles faster than doing everything by hand.
Final Note: Work with the AI, Not Against It
We’re not asking you to become a Hollywood director. Just a little patience, good lighting, and a steady hand. Your future self (the one not crying over an insurance claim rejection) will thank you.
