Manse beta app answers questions about your exact home

Manse, a joint venture from the Dawn McKenna Group and RegAssist, has opened its beta to homeowners and is rolling out first to Dawn McKenna Group clients. The app reads a home’s records to give specific answers on warranties, recalls, repairs and insurance, with pricing starting at $288 a year.

Why it matters: - Homeowners often have manuals, warranties, inspection reports and insurance policies scattered across inboxes and drawers. - Manse aims to connect those records into one private home file, so owners can get answers for their exact house instead of a generic search result. - The app can also surface savings by pointing to the best record for a repair, warranty or insurance claim.

What happened: - Manse opened its beta to homeowners on Sept. 17, 2026. - The app launches first for clients of the Dawn McKenna Group. - The beta is available now at mymanse.ai/beta. - Manse is a joint venture between the Dawn McKenna Group and RegAssist.

The details: - Manse starts with a home address and can identify an appliance by scanning its serial tag. - The app pulls the appliance manual, warranty status and recall history. - Users can add inspection reports and policies, and Manse combines them into a single record called the folio. - Homeowners can ask plain-language questions about repairs, maintenance and cleaning steps. - The app answers for the specific unit, not a similar model. - Manse can flag issues a homeowner might not think to ask about. - In one case, Manse flagged a $2,000 lock repair against a $1,000 insurance deductible and routed the claim to the policy instead of the warranty, saving about $1,000. - Rob Miller, co-founder of Manse and chief executive of RegAssist, said generic AI tools only know about a generic version of a product, while Manse works from a home’s own records and gives the next step, not just the fact. - Dawn McKenna said clients have long called for help with the home itself, not just the sale, including contractors, warranties and details that were never written down.

Between the lines: - Manse is positioned less like a document vault and more like a retrieval engine for home ownership. - The real pitch is continuity: keeping a house’s history attached to the property even when it changes hands. - That could matter most at closing, when a buyer inherits a documented home instead of a pile of receipts. - The privacy stance is also part of the product pitch, especially for homeowners uploading sensitive records.

What's next: - Manse says the folio moves with the home if it sells. - Users can request permanent deletion of their data at any time. - Manse says it never sells user data or feeds it into open or public AI models. - The beta is live at mymanse.ai. - Pricing is $288 a year or $29 a month on a 12-month term. - Both plans include full access to the folio and the data engine, plus a 90-day money-back guarantee.

The bottom line: - Manse is betting homeowners will pay for an AI tool that knows their specific house, not just housing advice in general.
