Get a realistic price for your next home project in seconds, privately, right on your iPhone. ONE TAP TO A QUOTE Describe what you want done in plain words ("remodel my small hall bathroom") or add a few photos, then tap Get Quote. AI Handyman scopes the job, prices labor and materials against bundled US national-average data, and finds local pros for the trade you need, all in a single flow. No account, no sign-up, no waiting on callbacks. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Instant Quote: type a sentence or attach photos and get a line-itemized labor + materials estimate with a confidence rating. - Photo reading: AI Handyman reads your project photos on device to help build the scope, free and private. - Find Local Pros: see contractors near you for your project, with a pre-filled request you can send from Mail or Messages in one tap. - Bids: send the same scope to several pros, track the bids that come back, and rank them by reputation and price. - Negotiate: get talking points and a fair-price gut check before you commit. PRIVATE BY DESIGN The instant-quote and photo-reading AI run entirely on your device using Apple Intelligence. Your text and photos do not leave your phone on the default path. AI Handyman runs no servers and collects no personal data. OPTIONAL UPGRADE Power users can paste their own xAI (Grok) API key for richer photo descriptions. It is entirely optional, every core feature works without it, and photos are sent only when you tap Describe Photos, using your own key. GOOD TO KNOW Estimates are planning numbers anchored to US national averages, not binding bids. Always get 2-3 real quotes before hiring; AI Handyman can draft the request for you. AI features require a device with Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro or later, iOS 26+). On other devices you can still browse local pros, the cost reference, and bids.
