Fix it — or hand it off.

If it's safe, we provide an AI assisted step-by-step guide. If it's not, we match you with a vetted local pro.

Safety-first routing

DIY if it's safe — or hand it off.

Every diagnosis is tagged green, amber, or red. You always know whether to pick up a wrench or pick up the phone.

GREEN 01

Safe to DIY

Low risk. We provide a step-by-step guide, list of tools needed and time estimate.

  • Step-by-step guide
  • Tool + parts list
  • Inline AI chat
AMBER 02

DIY with caution

Doable, but experience helps. We flag where it can go wrong and what to check before you start.

  • Risk callouts
  • Skill check
  • One-tap handoff to pro
RED 03

Call a pro

We flag the risk — gas, structural, high-voltage — and match you with a vetted local pro.

  • When a pro is needed
  • Vetted local match
  • Full diagnosis sent ahead

Always on

AI chat on the diagnosis — and every step.

Doesn't seem right? Ask the AI to refine the diagnosis — a second opinion that adjusts in real time. Once you start a guide, AI chat stays with you on every step.

  • Refine the diagnosis with follow-up details
  • "Ask about this step" on any DIY guide
  • Tap any highlighted term for a plain-language definition
