Filvy: The AI-Powered Document Manager for Life's Complexities

Introduction

Managing the paperwork of modern life often involves dozens of documents, strict deadlines, and multiple stakeholders. Filvy is an iOS application designed to solve this chaos. It allows users to upload documents, have AI automatically identify them and extract key dates, and then simply ask questions in plain English to get instant answers. Whether you are looking for a specific contract, checking a deadline, or coordinating with a partner, Filvy keeps everything in mind for you.

Benefits

Filvy offers several key advantages for organizing your life:

• Instant Retrieval:Users can ask, Send me the appraisal, and receive the appraisal report, land registry extract, or transfer contract in seconds without manual searching.
• Deadline Management:The app tracks critical dates such as the end of fixation, occupancy approval, refinancing, and property insurance renewals, sending warnings 30, 14, and 3 days in advance.
• Shared Visibility:Users can invite their partner via an 8-digit code. When the realtor calls, both partners see the same document in the app.
• Clause Analysis:Filvy can locate specific mortgage clauses and conditions, such as when a user must refinance to avoid penalties, and link directly to the relevant page.
• Post-Occupancy Reminders:It tracks ongoing requirements like gas, boiler, chimney, and lightning rod inspections, setting reminders one year in advance.
• Privacy and Security:Documents are stored in Germany, and the AI pipeline runs in the Netherlands. Data is protected with TLS 1.3 in transit and AES-256 at rest. Sensitive pixels are baked into the image before upload, meaning Filvy never sees the redacted areas. The app does not track users, sell data, or allow AI partners to train on user content.

Use Cases

While housing is the main focus, Filvy is also useful for various other life situations:

• Building a House & Mortgage:This is Filvy's primary use case, handling the complexity of one life event involving forty documents, two partners, and multiple institutions over three years.
• Kids:Managing school and camp applications, club contracts, report cards, and tracking deadlines for check-ups and dentist appointments.
• Self-Employed:Organizing client contracts, invoices, and tax documents. It tracks VAT filings, social security reports, and tax return deadlines.
• Car Management:Monitoring vehicle registration, service invoices, and tracking inspection, emissions, and insurance renewal dates.
• Caring for Parents:Managing powers of attorney, care service contracts, and long-term insurance, including home inspection deadlines. This feature allows sharing with siblings so everyone sees the same information.

Vibes

Filvy is specifically built to watch deadlines, process phone photos of invoices, and facilitate easy sharing between partners via a single code, addressing the specific chaos of document management in complex life events. Unlike standard apps like Notes, Files, or NotebookLM, it offers a specialized approach to handling the paperwork of modern life.
