Short-term rentals
Rental photos that do the space justice.
Guests decide on the photos. Walk your rental with the October app between two stays, and get finished photos and a walkthrough video of every room, made by AI from your capture, usually within a few hours.

Delivered by OctoberBetween guests, not weeks ahead
Capture after a clean, while the place looks its best. No photographer to book or let in.
Bright and true
The photos are drawn by AI from your capture with brighter light and loose items left out, while the rooms, the furniture and the view are kept as captured, so guests find what they booked.
A walkthrough guests understand
A short video through the rooms shows the layout in a way single photos can't.
How it works
- 01
Walk the space
The October app on your iPhone shows you where to stand in each room, keeps the phone level and takes the photos.
- 02
October does the rest
An AI image model draws each finished photo from your capture, keeping the room as it is, and an AI video model makes the walkthrough.
- 03
Usually within hours
The finished photos and the walkthrough, in HD or 4K, are waiting in your account. If rooms can't be made, places you didn't need go back.
