Twelve years, one question
Hyran.ai is the result of twelve years of work on one and the same question: how is the right rent determined?
For Haymanot Wachtmeister, the work began in research. She earned her doctorate in rent setting, with a doctoral thesis on how residential rents are determined and regulated in Sweden. This was followed by legislative work at the Ministry of Justice, responsibility for rent-setting strategy as General Counsel of a listed property company, and later work on rent setting and legal risk at Fastighetsägarna, the Swedish property owners' association.
The perspective shifted along the way. From legal theory to legislation. From legislation to the property owner's business. From the property company to the organised rental market. But the same problem recurred everywhere: the knowledge existed – the infrastructure did not.
This became particularly clear when work began on the book Praktisk hyressättning (Practical Rent Setting) for Norstedts Juridik at the end of 2025. A business-critical function that affects cash flows, property values, financing and returns still depended on spreadsheets, manual calculations, scattered documents and information that often rested with individual people.
The first answer was Normhyra.ai: a small specialist tool, built and launched in December 2025. The service quickly gained users and was later accepted into Anthropic's global directory of connectors for Claude.
But the work on Normhyra.ai also revealed something larger. The industry lacked more than a better way to calculate normative rent. It lacked a coherent technical platform for rent setting.
In January 2026, work on Hyran.ai therefore began together with CTO André Brogärd, a computer scientist with particular expertise in privacy, information security and the development of advanced proptech systems.
Today we are building Hyran.ai at the intersection of law, property, capital and technology. We are not building a general-purpose AI that guesses what the rent ought to be. We are building specialist infrastructure that structures the information, legal method and market knowledge that professionals need in order to analyse, decide and document.
