Ditch the estimate visits. Record 30 seconds of whatever needs doing — the sectional that needs moving, the TV that needs mounting, the lawn that got away from you — and talk it through as you film. Local Crew's AI watches the clip and writes the brief: what the job is, what it takes, how long it runs, and a fair price. Edit anything, then post it. Local pros bid back from the video. Compare prices, ratings and reviews side by side, then pick your fit. No walkthroughs, no haggling, no surprise pricing. Chat opens the moment you accept, so you lock in the day and they arrive ready to work. Want to work instead? Switch profiles. The same account gets you a pro profile. See the job on video before you commit, name your own price, and add a video pitch if you want one. No lead chasing, no home visits for quotes. Complete jobs, earn ratings, move up.
