Handyman · your AI Owner's Rep for repairs
Text the problem.
It gets handled.
Handyman represents you, not the trade. It works out what is actually wrong, decides which trade you really need, scopes the job, gets the quotes, challenges the ones that are padded, books the access, and follows it through to a closed invoice and a filed warranty.

A real Handyman flow. Video walkthrough coming.
What it actually does
Not a contractor. Not a directory. Your representative.
An owner's rep represents the owner's interests and coordinates everybody else on the owner's behalf. That is exactly the job here, applied to repairs rather than to a build:
Most home services have one answer to every question and it is "we will send someone", which is a business model rather than a diagnosis. Representing you means sometimes the answer is that the part costs fourteen dollars and nobody needs to come at all.
It says so
A flapper valve is not a callout. You get the part, the steps and the one thing that goes wrong if you skip one. This is the same instinct that makes it worth believing when it does say you need a licensed trade.
It runs the job
One scope out to certified trades, quotes normalised so they compare, access booked, work tracked, completion reviewed, invoice and warranty filed. You approve; it does the chasing.
At a commercial property
"Walk-in freezer at the restaurant is sitting at 8°C."
One text from a hotel GM at 11pm. Handyman is not turning the wrench. It is acting for ownership, which on a failing freezer looks like this:
Triage before anyone is called
Product loss clock, whether it is a defrost fault or a compressor, and whether this is tonight or tomorrow. The answer decides what the callout costs.
The right trade, scoped
Commercial refrigeration, not general maintenance, with a scope specific enough that two vendors quote the same work.
Quotes, normalised and challenged
Collected, put on the same basis, and pushed back on where a line does not belong. Approved inside the limits you set, escalated above them.
Access, attendance, follow-up
Somebody has to let the tech in at 6am and somebody has to notice when they do not turn up. That is the part owners actually pay a rep for.
Closed out and on the record
Completion reviewed, invoice checked against the quote, warranty filed against the asset. Three years on, when that kitchen gets scoped, the history is already there.
One rep, two halves
One rep, across everything the property needs.
Renobot represents you on projects and renovations. Handyman represents you on repairs and maintenance. Same app, same number, same standard: neither is allowed to send a figure it cannot source, and both are working for the owner rather than the trade.
Which matters more than it sounds: the repairs are how the house gets known before there is ever a renovation to plan.
Certified, not scraped
Trades are vetted by WeReno, not pulled from a directory and marked up.
You are not the lead
Your job is not sold to whoever pays most for it. That is the whole reason the free answer exists.
It compounds
Every fix is history on the building, and history is what makes the next scope accurate.
Something is wrong at your property.
Text it. Someone works out what it is, what it should cost, and gets it handled — including the answer where nobody needs to come out.
