Inspectors in early access are cutting about 25% of the time per inspection, finishing reports on site instead of at the kitchen table that night.

DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Spectora–A home inspector’s real skill is helping buyers understand exactly what they’re getting into, turning their observations of a house into the information someone needs to make one of the biggest decisions of their life with confidence. But most of their day doesn’t go to that. It goes to typing up findings, returning missed calls, bookings lost while they’re on a roof, business decisions made on gut instinct instead of real numbers. Spectora’s new AI tools are built to change that, giving inspectors back the time that gets eaten up by everything around the inspection. Three new tools are in early access right now.

AI Report Assist helps inspectors move faster through inspections, without sacrificing the quality of their report. They speak their observations and snap photos, and the AI matches what they see to the comments they’ve already reviewed and approved in their template. When nothing fits, AI can help them draft a new one on the spot. The report comes together faster during the inspection itself, not at the kitchen table that night. Inspectors in early access are saving about 25% of their time per inspection.

“Instead of stopping to search for comments, I can queue up multiple defects using audio, and the AI matches them to the right narratives. The workflow of taking photos first, then recording everything in one pass and confirming after analysis, is much faster than the traditional approach.” — Efra Rivera, Owner, NxtMove Inspections

AI Scheduling Agent answers the calls inspectors can’t get to. When the phone rings while they’re on a roof or under a crawlspace, it picks up, answers the caller’s questions, checks live availability, and books the job. For the inspector, that means never missing a booking and an end to being on call every evening and weekend. For the agents who book them, it’s a fast and dependable way to schedule.

The AI Connector (MCP) and public API let inspectors connect the AI tools they already use, like Claude or ChatGPT, directly to Spectora and ask questions about their business in plain language. One inspector in early access is now forecasting his revenue to within a few hundred dollars each month. Others are tracking referral sources and running multi-inspector firms on real numbers instead of gut instincts.

Spectora spent more than a year building these tools with inspectors to make sure they work the way inspectors actually need them to. Inspectors run their business on their reputation. A tool that gets things wrong doesn’t save time, it creates more work.

“There’s a lot of flashy AI demos out there right now, and we made a deliberate choice not to chase them. We spent more than a year making sure the AI we put in inspectors’ hands makes a real difference, because anything less just creates more work. Inspectors using them are seeing real results, and now it’s time to bring them to more inspectors,” said Peter Osberg, CEO of Spectora.

All three tools are in early access today, and they’re just the start. Spectora has spent more than a decade innovating in the inspection industry, and AI is the next chapter. The goal has always been the same. Give inspectors better tools so they can save time and operate a successful business. Inspectors can see what’s live, what’s being explored, and what’s coming at spectora.com/labs.

About Spectora: Spectora is the leading Home Inspection software platform, serving over 10,000 inspectors. The platform helps inspectors conduct inspections, write reports, manage operations, and grow their businesses. Learn more at spectora.com.

A nine-time French champion and world champion brings a singular thesis on human longevity to Nassau

NASSAU, Bahamas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The vision is no longer a promise. It is open. Champion Spirit Country Club, the private wellness and sporting club founded by nine-time French champion and world champion Abdoulaye Fadiga, has officially opened in The Bahamas. In the same announcement, its founder confirmed that the ecosystem’s medical flagship, Bahamas Longevity Hospital, will open in December 2026. Together, they mark the arrival of a singular thesis in human longevity: that real longevity is not a product to be purchased, but a discipline to be practiced.

Most longevity ventures are built in a laboratory. This one was built across a lifetime. Few people have understood the human body as intimately as someone who drove it to the limits of world-class competition and won. Formally trained in biology and biomechanics at the University of Paris, Fadiga spent the years since translating what he learned in competition into a complete science of human longevity.

A living proof, open today

Set on twenty acres in Nassau, The Bahamas, Champion Spirit Country Club unites elite sport, recovery, and daily longevity practice under one philosophy. The team is led by Andretti Bain, Olympic silver medalist and Pan-American Games gold medalist, alongside world-class practitioners across movement, recovery, and precision wellness. The club operates six curated retreat protocols (Genesis, Arcadia, Apex, Lumière, Vitae, and Longitude), ranging from five-day performance resets at $8,500 to fourteen-day full estate immersions at $34,500.

Twenty-seven leading institutions worldwide were benchmarked in building this programme. The Caribbean had no equivalent. Champion Spirit built one.

High Performance Luxury Living

For twenty years, Fadiga has operated at the intersection of science and elite performance, coaching athletes across every dimension: scientific, tactical, technical, physical, mental, and motivational. His central insight is deceptively simple. When an athlete truly understands what they are doing, and begins to see results arrive — and they will, because the method is grounded in science — motivation rises. The probability of reaching the goal increases. That feedback loop is not incidental. It is the foundation of everything.

At Champion Spirit, the clientele are what Fadiga calls performers. They may be elite athletes. They may equally be any individual who is still physically capable of pursuing a goal. The club makes no distinction. Every member is treated with the same rigour applied to world champions. The same methods. The same standards. Fadiga calls this philosophy High Performance Luxury Living.

It is designed for people who refuse to leave results to chance. Who understand that a single training session is not health. Health is the sum of nutritional, environmental, and emotional parameters, each compounding the others. This is precisely why the ecosystem was built the way it was: when all the tools are in one place, the athlete thrives. When they are scattered, time is lost, information is not centralized, motivation drifts, and results disappear with it. Champion Spirit was built to eliminate that equation entirely.

The medical flagship, opening December 2026

Bahamas Longevity Hospital will serve as the medical anchor of the ecosystem when it opens in December 2026. The institution will unite advanced diagnostics, personalized medicine, and the disciplined fundamentals that defined its founder’s career, led by Bahamian and international medical figures. Where the Country Club is the daily practice of longevity, the Hospital is its clinical and scientific home.

Together, the two institutions position Nassau and The Bahamas as a serious destination for the future of human health, the first of their kind in the Caribbean.

“Health is the most valuable asset a human being possesses. Most people do not realize it until they no longer have it. Without it, nothing else is possible. That is not a philosophy. That is the only fact that matters. Health is the new wealth — and we are here to prove it.”

Abdoulaye Fadiga, Founder and CEO, Champion Spirit Group

About Champion Spirit Group

Champion Spirit Group is a luxury wellness and lifestyle ecosystem based in Nassau, The Bahamas, founded by Abdoulaye Fadiga on the philosophy that health is the new wealth. The group brings together sport, recovery, longevity medicine, hospitality, and lifestyle under one vision.
