An add-on for the assistant on UGREEN's AI NAS, a home storage box. By Jonathan Andrei

AlreadyOwned

After a flood, a fire or a break-in, the insurer wants proof you owned what you lost. The proof is usually sitting in your camera roll. Walk the room, say what you see, and this add-on is built to find it.

Boxed in green: taken before the loss, kept as proof. Crossed out: taken after, kept as a damage photo only. It also shows you what you forgot you owned.

On my real claim, 22 of the 27 things I lost were already in photos I had taken. Searching the same library by file name found 0.

The 22 is counted by hand, photo by photo, over the 1,769 photos my phone and PC held from before the flood. A phone names a photo 20251211_160058.jpg, and it never says sofa. With a small vision model on my PC standing in for the NAS, the add-on's own search proved 13 of the 22, and found one my hand count had missed. Its count on the NAS itself is the first thing I measure there.

One folder you can hand to the insurer

A row for every item, the photo that proves it, the receipt if there is one, and a plain "no proof" where there is none.

Sample, made-up library

Contents claim for the water of 20 June 2026

Room: basement. Cut-off: 2026-06-20 02:00.

    Exhibits in the folder: 17, the voice note included. Each is a copy, listed with its capture time, the camera that took it and its SHA-256, so anyone can check nothing changed since the folder was made.

    A practice run from start to finish

    A voice note in, one claim folder out, against a made-up library. The four writes at the end wait for your yes.
