Overview

Apartment Scout is an automated apartment search workflow that pulls listings from multiple sources, filters them against defined criteria, and surfaces the highest-fit options in a more structured way than manually checking sites one by one.

Problem

Apartment hunting across multiple listing sites is repetitive and noisy. I wanted a workflow that could collect listings, apply practical filters like neighborhood, size, and pet-friendliness, and surface the best matches without constant manual searching.
